Very interesting. I watched your videos when I first started smoking. I use em, adjust a bit to my liking on the next run and see how things turn out. I did go from a Smoker Joe's offset smoker to an upright Bradley electric smoker with 4 slide out grates & never looked back. The offset is now a heavy duty bbq grill. I vent the electric through a garage window, can maintain temp without babysitting it, holds a constant temp, & has timers for both the smoke & heat independently. You can also cold smoke on it & being stainless steel, simple to clean. I highly recommend it. Got some bb ribs in it right now, semi following this recipe.

Good video. To keep the brown sugar in your rub from clumping spread the measured amount of brown sugar needed out on a baking sheet and let sit at room temperature for about 4 hours to dry. This will reduce the amount of clumping you have and keep the brown sugar suspended in the the rub.
@MadScientistBBQ7 жыл бұрын
Good idea. Mine was clumping because I mixed it together a few weeks before. Not the end of the world, but certainly not an ideal situation.

I really like these Old Country BBQ Pits videos. I have a lot of experience selling their smokers, but I've only ever used the Wrangler II. Though it's the lower end of their line, it still produces amazing bbq (believe me, I've put that thing to the test countless times). Due to its smaller size, I'm assuming, the heat distribution is quite even, and it holds temp. like a champ. I've been really curious about the over under, so I found this video especially interesting. love the channel, man! Keep em coming!

Ok first and foremost thank you for this video. I almost bought this grill/smoker but passed on it because never seen one like it before and never seen anyone use it. The idea sounds good though. ironically I have the Pecos and I love it. But to do full grill space of it i have to cheat and put big water tray to make sure I get even heat. Your ribs looked great, I did not hear what temp you cooked them at but did notice you had very little smoke coming out. You may need to close the vents a bit. If you feel like a nice change try this, use just enough charcoal to get wood going then use a stick of hickory and a stick of pin Oak or White Oak. And I would get a chimney to light and start my coals, and I use and love the tumbleweed starters. Please don't think I am criticizing just offering a different approach. Now off to see your newer video on this smoker.

@MadScientistBBQ7 жыл бұрын
I leave the baffle in the "closed" position during the cook. I only hold it open right when I am getting the fire lit and I want as much airflow as possible. I have been using tumbleweed fire starters to get my coals lit in the Over and Under. It seems to work pretty well, but they don't light as fast as with a chimney.

You cant get the racks in and out because they're not properly measured or fitted, and the welds have so many holes it looks like they hired a high school vocational class to do the work.
