I got a legacy delivered with a huge dent in the lid. I got a new one shipped to me and the trucking company didn't want the damaged one. So I got 2 for the price of one! Only used the replacement once, pounded out the dented one and use it probably 3 times a week. Thanks Estes!
Just a note. The rough neck was a collaboration with Kent Rollins and Hasty Bake. He has a lot of videos on the smoker and recipes. Go check them out also along with this channel. Both great channels.
Thanks for the informative video. I've had my eye on HB cookers for a bit and this one looks just about perfect for me. I really like the flexibility with the various configurations. I'm looking forward to more videos from this one.
I think the most important thing to consider while doing a “BURN IN” … is the adhesive residue from the Laser Film ( the white stretchy film ) or what us old timers would call “Contact Paper “. Since just about everything is Laser Cut today in manufacturing…. It’s something to consider with ANY metal food handling equipment
I’m surprised they didn’t give u the slide in diffuser helps to keep it lower temps and good smoke tickle… Your going to love the RN. I stopped using my SS drums
I had a 55 gallon drum turned into the firebox for a cold smoker, From the drum to the food cabinet was 15 feet of 4" exhaust duct. The purpose of cold smoking is to keep the heat away from the food. It's not cooking, only flavoring. I smoked ribs, hams (using apricot wood), cheese, turkey, ducks and some salmon. Congratulations on your venture into smoked foods. And I'll close as I close all my words to Lyle P. -- I flunked Shop and got an A in HomeEc.😀
Should do a how to of lighting your charcoal briquettes for each of you bbq apparatus, so how you load and light your charcoals for each of your units, I know you use your Weber rapid fire charcoal chimney but how you load your units would be interesting and if you use a different lighting method occasionally, you could use different cuts in different bbqs and assess performance on those different cuts Continued Success Fabrizio
I got to get one. Love the fact that you can smoke,grill and hang meat all in one. Is there a discount for driving and picking one. I have watched Kent cook on his old one a lot. Great video and go USA made.
I don't know that I would put all the blame on the freight companies if the product needs handled with kid gloves perhaps the packaging needs to better protect the product. The end result of fixing the problem will be passed onto the consumer no matter if it requires better packaging or a different shipper. Sounds like it is a common and repeated problem so I would vote for better packaging. What is the chance you could get another lid sent undamaged?
As a sheet metal worker/ steel fabricator, I really appreciate the quality and attention to detail of these pits. I might get rid of all my other grills. Hasty Bake is king!
Great job on the ribs! I have the corten steel Kent Rollins edition. I believe the latch for the top is more about using that front handle to move it or lift it. Not necessary to close that latch for grilling or smoking or direct heat BBQ.
I’ve got the 75th anniversary coffin top and it’s a hybrid of the Legacy and Suburban and the appearance is very similar to this RN smoker, love it… the one thing I like about this RN is the LARGE intake vents, my only complaint of my coffin top(and I’ve heard similar complaints of Legacy users) is that the intake vent holes are too small and when I close the top the fire really embers down. Overall love HB and super stoked for you, beautiful unit!
Congratulations on the new smoker. That thing is nice . Hey Adam, I'm curious where did you get that citronella Lantern at? I've been looking all over Amazon for that exact one that you have, But I can't find that one👍🏻🇺🇲
How does this differ from the Pit Barrel? I have a pit barrel X, Kamado Joe classic 3 and JR, RecTec 680 and other kettels. I like to play with new cookers as a hobbiest. But I like to justify them to myself and of corse my wife ;) . Great video by the way.
I’ve got to stop watching your channel. If I keep watching I’m going to end up buying a HB. I don’t need another grill/smoker. I got way too many. I am really impressed with the Hasty Bake however. If you could only have one HB which one would it be? I know it will be hard for you to say right now since this was your first cook on the Roughneck.
