I get this question on Offset Smokers a lot. How do I reduce the white smoke on my smoker? Can my Offset smoker burner cleaner when adding wood? Today we are going to answer those questions.

A couple of things I have found: 1. Remove bark from oak. The bark burns hot and creates very strong smoke. 2. If I can't remove the bark I just burn the oak in a separate fire pit and let it burn off the white, dirty smoke. I then add it to the firebox.
@ComparisonCooking
@ComparisonCooking 3 года назад
Yes, I try and do this 90% of the time also. I'll keep bark on once I wrap though. I haven't done a separate burn barrel/fire pit yet, but its on my list to try this summer. Thanks for the comment John.

Great FB group. Great video. When I add splits I pre-heat the split then add to the fire box. I keep the lid open until the split ignites. Initially it’s a heavy smoke then within a couple of minutes it’s a clean burn and I close the fire box lid. If I don’t see clean smoke I move the coals around or move the split to get a good clean burn.

My wife immediately wanted to jump out and start smoking first thing this morning (it's Saturday) without understanding any of the tips discussed in this video. I intuitively felt that all the heavy smoke bellowing from the chimney couldn't be a good thing and quickly searched for a video to help get a handle on it early and after watching this I have managed a beautiful clean burn for the last 3 hours and have a nice rhythm going to finish in the next 4 hours or so.

Practice definitely goes a long way towards getting it right, but if you don't have the time to smoke something as often as you'd like, make notes. I got my offset smoker 3 years ago. I just made my 4th brisket last Sunday for Easter. I've only smoked 4-5 other things over these 3 years. From day one, I used the notes app on my phone to record all kinds of information. From how I started the fire to periodic temps for the meat and the cook chamber. Every note has a time on it so I can see when I started and at what point I was making another note. We've always got our phones with us and we've always got time on our hands when we're smoking. It's a no-brainer.

Great tips, thanks for sharing!! Quick question though, can you or should you use wood chucks as your main heat source, maybe on top of a small bed of coals, or should we focus more on sticks or splits as for that? There isn't a ton of options in my area for sticks or splits so wasn't sure if I should be looking having it shipped in..
@ComparisonCooking
@ComparisonCooking 3 года назад
In scenarios like that, I try and use lump charcoal to pick up more wood flavor from the charcoal itself. Then add wood chunks for the first 3 hours adding every 15 minutes to 30. After about 3 hours, i'll just stick to charcoal and get the thing cook! I'm not using it as much of a heat source, but more for adding an additional flavor profile. The charcoal is my heat source when using chunks.

I am still experimenting with the best set up. I placed a brick in my cook chamber to make the opening smaller. It helped a lot. Today i am going to adjust the angle of the brick and the stack cover to see if I can slow the consumption of fuel. The other day I went through way too much log splits like around 6 logs. Last night i only used 2 logs in total but split them down to smaller sizes. I was also able to maintain a great cook temp of 225 - 230. Today is going to be a bit tricky as the winds are gusting about 35 mph.

I would try and use wood, but definitely on the smaller size. Chucks just go so quick, so gaining an extra 15 minutes with wood, will help over a 10-15 hour cook big time!

I noticed your coal is close toward the main barrel. Do you recommend that? I saw someone else have their coal toward the back of the offset so I did that. Seemed ok but thinking about it maybe I'd get more heat in the main barrel if the coals were all closer to it. Do you recommend the coals being closer to the barrel rather than toward the back of the offset? Thanks! I'm new at this and only smoked once so far. I made a brisket and it came out ok, but I feel like it could have been better. It's definitely a science to get the smoking down right with an offset.

Every smoker is a little different so you need to see where placement works the best for your smoker. Also make sure to use the same brand charcoal each time you are testing 👍

The best bbq book out there is by Meathead, and he does a lot of myth busting in his book. Soaking wood is on top of that list, he broke it down and showed it barely gets into the wood. Along with causing the wood to smolder instead of combust properly. So no on the soaking chunks before the fire. I'm glad you enjoyed the video and commented!

I’ve been surprised by how much charcoal I’ve used this year. Historically I was all wood all the time. But my resources have run low so I conserve a lot. Normally 4-5 hours of wood on top of charcoal, but once I wrap I stop using wood and just add the cheapest fuel to get it to the finish line! Glad it helped.

Idk if this is an answer your going to suggest but I saw a pitmaster show thingy and they pre burned the fuel. What if you pre burned your coal and got a wood piece on it also so it pre lit the wood as well so you don’t get that plume of throwing a raw piece into it
@ComparisonCooking
@ComparisonCooking 9 месяцев назад
That’s definitely a way you can do it. Rodney Scott does it that way. It’s normally done that way for a different cooker style. With these offsets, it’s a lot of work to do it that way. The short burst heavier plumes don’t affect it that much, it’s the smoldering for an hour that will ruin the meat.

Question. As we start to transition into cooler weather will it change the temperature on our smokers to the point we may have to use more wood & charcoal?
@ComparisonCooking

On this thinner metal smokers it will definitely cause us to have to burn more fuel and try and run the firebox hotter. I'm starting to think about what videos I need to do in the winter time.

@mtcoorscan

Or just finish it in the oven.🤷 No flavor profile is extended, and no further bark forms after wrapping. I know everyone says, "I just like being outside so I keep it on the smoker". I say, put the internal thermometer in, set it in the oven, go back outside and post prep your smoker (wipe down with oil where needed, empty the grease catch, burn-off and clean the cooking grates, etc).

If you are adding splits at the right time it’s replenishing the charcoal for you. If the splits aren’t keeping up, it’s normally every 3 to 5 hours depending on air flow. Good luck 👍

Chargriller is the owner of Oklahoma Joe, typically both owners of those grills end up sealing it up with silicon high heat seal and gaskets to help with the leaks. around the firebox to main chamber (silicon) and the main chamber (gasket). These tends to help a lot, I know the gasket is like $12 bucks on amazon. I have a link in the description. I still haven't used the silicon, but my friends do.

I actually LOVE apricot bark smoke on meats. I think the bark more than the wood itself! Just a delightful flavor on beef and chicken! I guess it all depends on the meat and the flavor profile you are looking to achieve! Like having/making children... it's the process of finding what works for you, that is the fun!! Don't stress... just enjoy the moment!! ;) "Practice, Practice Practice" LOL!! My life motto!! In cooking... and Children making... or.... just....... WhoooHoo!

Keep cutting down your splits to smaller size, 6 inches 2-3 inches thick seem to be the best size for my smokers. I used to throw the a big 12 inch log in there and my temp would sky rocket. Keep trying smaller and smaller splits if 6 inches is spiking the temp for you 👍

Wood will add another burst of heat, depending on the size, it might be a quick burst of heat with now leftover wood embers to keep the heat going. The larger the piece the more it will leave helping replenish your charcoal base.

If I didn't enjoy the battle and the journey I'd get a pellet smoker. I wish I could substantiate purchasing a way more expensive offset model.

Please do not do that for wood splits. Some people will do that for wood chips in electric smokers, its the only time you should do it. For wood splits, it steams your food and doesn't add any value. WIll also reduce your temperature under 212, which is the temp water turns to steam.

Yes, some people will do that in a more traditional direct coals under meat method. Like Rodney Scott cooking whole hogs.
