USING A CHARCOAL BASKET TO COOK ON MY LONE STAR GRILLZ OFFSET SMOKER 

That's one of the best method for this basket to set & forget.

Great video! ..Now I'm.going into the garage dusting off that 5 yr old charcoal basket!

Son save some meat for me happy Easter mom love you all enjoy

That’s a good method my brother….I’ve got the LSG 30” vertical offset, and it definitely requires baby sitting, but produces the best BBQ I’ve ever cooked.

I have a warming oven on my LSG Offset and I use the charcoal basket and use the warmer oven like a barrel cooker. Burns for 10 plus hours with little to no tending. Makes the best ribs IMO which I hang in the oven. Additionally I don't use the divider plates I just pour a 1/2 chimney of lit coals on a half basket full of unlit coals and wood chunks. Fire burns outward from the center and it works great.

Ive been using my grates in my fire box and doing 8+ hours cooks with lump. But I can't get my smoke chamber up to temp.

Great video Ed....awesome idea to get that thing to burn without attending to it. Thx for sharing and have a wonderful Easter.

Another great video... Man I keep waiting for you to throw meat on there...🤣 Happy Easter to you and your family

Awesomeness

What's up dawg... So they have these for my 20x42 offset..?

Why would I buy a top of the line offset and just burn coal??

I do this for over night cooks and when i wake up i swap over to wood. Its very versatile peice of equipment.

I'd be afraid to cook a brisket without wood. Charcoal is fine for just grilling, but smoking? Nah.....give me wood or it won't taste right. You did have heat for a good long time without tending to it, just the wrong smoke or no smoke imo.

I use the same method to light my coals with the can. The only difference is I cut the both ends out of a metal coffee can. After filling the basket around the can with unlit coals I fill the inside with lit coals and pull the can out with pliers or channel locks. You can do this outside the firebox if there isn't enough room inside to get the can out. Keep da smoke roll'n.👍

Happy Easter.

Great video & great info!!! I kinda do the same, but a little different... Remove the baffles completely, take an old large metal coffee can (about the size of your paint can) and cut the bottom & top out of it. Place can in middle of basket, fill basket with charcoal and some wood chunks around the coffee can. Dump desired lite charcoals into can and remove can with a large pliers.

Good info. I've got an LSG IVS that runs like how you're using yours. You will benefit from wood chunks mixed in with the charcoal. Also shut that thing all the way down. I can't tell if you did that from the video or not but using charcoal you are looking for super low oxygen and super low draw so make sure the stack and damper are barely cracked. Using wood you're trying to do the opposite, high oxygen and high draw. Good run there, just giving tips that might help. Thing I've found is that nothing is really set it and forget it. You have to tend to the meat anyway so throwing a log on isn't too bad but if you're doing large cuts like a brisket or butt you can leave it be for 5-6 hours while you get some sleep. How much lump did you go through in that 6.5 hours? Happy Easter Ed. Looking forward to seeing more on the LSG. 😎

Well done Ed. This is exactly how I use my basket. The “S” configuration just does not work. I set that thing completely on fire so many times I was about to scrap it! I figured out this method about a year ago, and it has been a game changer on overnight cooks. Thank you for making a video explaining the process. Oh… I thought I was subbed to your channel… but I wasn’t… but I am now! Cheers… 🍻🍻🍻!

Great info, thanks for the video. I was waiting to see the food. 🤣 I have a LSG 30" Vertical, but I have not fired it up yet. I want to get that basket or fire management system first.

Happy Easter to you and your family Ed!

Amazing thanks for sharing good info
