I inherited this same smoker that was not well maintained. Smoke stopped coming in from under the tray inside. At at about the 3 minute mark on this video, I see the grate where the smoke should go in. It's thick with a compacted charcoal (I believe). I've been scraping at it from the inside. Is there a better way to clear this blockage? I've probably cleared about 20% of the space but was hoping there would be a better option. Thanks, in advance, for the advice! Will be my full time smoker after trading out a couple cabinet electric smokers :)

First - congrats on inheriting an amazing smoker! I just filmed my "1.5 years later" video which will be posting soon, and sneak preview - it's one of my favorite smokers still. From what it sounds like in your smoker situation, unfortunately you're in for the manual labor of chipping, poking, scraping and cleaning. If you're able to remove the little iron grate that holds the charcoal it might make it a bit easier, but in similar experiences I've had elsewhere, I had to go the long way 'round as well. Let me know how it turns out and when you get that thing crankin! Thanks for the support.

Having used mine for 3 years now, I find putting wood layered into the chute provides the best smoke ring and profile. I still add more to the box as needed. I find the wood in the chute tends to smolder from all sides where the lump touches it. Where the box is only the top where embers have landed. (unless you leave the fire box door open, when you get a darker, sooty smoke) I also find loading up with lump for the first 6 to 8 hours gives a better flavor, then for any remaining time I switch to briquet as I get a longer run time and can sleep well overnight knowing I have a full 10-12 hours with briquets. Lump I tend to get between 6 and 8 hours a chute load depending on piece size. Also if you have not added a probe controlled fan to the inlet, it's a game changer. I'm in the Florida Panhandle where in winter we go from 80*+ daytime to 40* overnight. So when running a brisket overnight the fan keeps things perfect. The insulated box does well with temp changes, but a 40* swing will need an adjustment to the ball valve with out a controlled fan.

Beef broth? If you're going to add any liquid to that it should be bone broth. Yeah you just ruined it by cooking it that long. That's brisket you don't want it two just fall apart and just be mush in your. You want the chunks of brisket you want to get a good bite of the brisket.. you want the brisket to stand out you want people to get bites chunks of brisket. Man you need to go back to the drawing board and start over.

You lost me at sauteing your onions and garlic together. That is a No-No. You do your onions till they're translucent. Then you add your garlic in and just do it enough so the aromatics come up. You don't want to over roast the garlic cuz you'll ruin it. Obviously you're a beginner. So I will not be subscribing to your channel. That was the deal-breaker right there when you added them all in together. Sorry bro

Did you ever replace your thermometer? If so did it make a difference in what the short stem was reading vs the longer one?
@lordsaunderssmokehouse8 ай бұрын
Thanks for the comment! Yes, I definitely swapped out the stem and I am able to get more accurate readings. I have a 6" stem in there, though I am debating changing yet again for an 8," just to see how it compares to the 6." What I've found so far is that the average temps seem to be the same as my digital internal probe, but, after it's been cooking for a while. So, while I don't relish the loss of grill space using the 8," I'm curious to see if I get more similar temps faster, if that makes sense.

So I've definitely loaded it up with briskets and ribs, and it handled it like a champ - surprisingly even cooking overall. That said, I'm a bit neurotic so I did move a few things around to ensure further evenness, but I was as usual very pleased with the box. It just makes everything so well - the only caveat with it is that it will cook faster than you are used to if you have a pellet or offset, so you have to be mindful of that. Thanks for your comment!

@lordsaunderssmokehouse10 ай бұрын
Thank you for the kind words (Both beef ribs were absolutely delicious), and thanks for your comment about the flavors. So I thought a lot about it before we started the tournament to make it as even as possible, and once thing that stuck out in my mind was the concept of "why do things often taste better in restaurants?" and that's often due to salt. Restaurants add more salt than most people use etc, so it excites the palette more. I didn't want a rub to lose simply because the blindness of the test didn't give me the "salt excite." The other consideration was that a lot of seasonings are expecting a base coat of S&P to be in conjunction with their rubs, so it felt like a safe bet. So how do we truly know? Tough to say which is truly correct, but your point is very valid. I'll give it some more consideration so that we keep things as true to the spice creator as possible. Thanks again for your comment, my friend.

@@markwindholz816 Thanks for your comment, man. I totally see your point along with DrunkenChef, and I don't disagree necessarily. I'm still up in the air for consideration on the next up in the competition - it's weighing on me lol. For this round, I knew the beef rub well enough and know that it is made to be added to a base coat of salt in order for the flavor to come through properly. The Anything Rub was more salty (not too salty) on its own by comparison, would stand on its own and definitely would have had an unfair edge over the beef rub, so in an effort to even it out I added the salt. You make good points, and I'm still thinking through how we move through the next rounds.Thanks again for the support.
