Hi Rosel, Its Doug here from the U.K. hope you are well. I have been watching and enjoying your videos as I have just ordered a Big Easy 3 in 1: Have learnt a lot from you and other KZbinrs.........only one thing in this video you put the Corn on the cob on the bottom rack and the Chicken above, I was always told that you should not do this as the drippings from the Chicken can Contaminate the food underneath. Whats your take on this.? Regards...........Doug

[@roselsimpson858]

Hello Doug, my belief is that both the chicken and the corn are uncooked if either are contaminated the heat will kill it. That's just my belief not sure. Congratulations on the BE 3 in 1. Thanks for the great question thanks for watching and stay tuned for more updates and great content!

Absolutely my friend If you keep watching them I will keep making them. Thanks for the support 🙏

[@MG38601]

Do you have the electric big easy too? I'm looking for someone videos on it, wondering if it's as good or better than the gas big easy.

[@roselsimpson858]

No I do not have the electric, haven't seen any videos on it myself. I never saw a need for the electric because I have several other cook gadgets like the George Foreman. If I find anything I'll get back to you on it. Thanks for watching stay tuned for more great content.

[@stevecollins5290]

Also can you cook a brisket on one? Thnx! P.s. I was born up in monroe...I live in Texas now....thanx for the advice...

[@roselsimpson858]

I think cooking a brisket on one would be rather difficult a brisket requires low and slow. There is very little temp variation with the Big Easy. Take care homeboy its my pleasure!

[@gnatatrobina]

IDK about raw chicken dripping down on the corn. I do not think I would put corn on top.

[@roselsimpson858]

I believe that temperature kills anything harmful but that is a good thing to consider for anyone with concerns. Corn on top from now on when cooking chicken, now bacon that's a different story it goes on top lol!

[@randyc5650]

Rosel, I know this is an old video but I like that collapsible basket because it makes it easier to get my turkey out after cooking. Thanks for your great videos.

[@roselsimpson858]

If you don't cut, beat, adjust or modify stuff like I do (lol) there is absolutely nothing wrong with the collapsible basket. Glad you enjoyed the video stay tuned more great stuff on the way.

[@donaldthompson6934]

Hey I was wondering if you could actually put some kind of pan on top of the Big easy and cook like a stove top

[@roselsimpson858]

The Big Easy is 13 inches inside diameter find something that size it will work the pan will take a while to heat up but yes it can be done. I actually have a video where I put a Dutch oven inside the big easy and cook in it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hGTZZpSeeNODqM0

[@larryvaughn8997]

Have you modified an original basket to where it opens up like a book from top to bottom? And if so, can you show a video of how you did it?

[@roselsimpson858]

I haven't done that yet but I think I've seen that somewhere. That is an excellent idea I will have to put that into motion in the near future. Thanks for the comment thanks for watching tune in for an update soon to come.

[@justarandom404]

Rosel, I really enjoy your videos on the big easy cookers. I bought one based on what I've seen from your channel. I know it takes a lot of time to make and edit these videos, it's appreciated.

[@roselsimpson858]

Everyone has been really supportive of the channel but i think that's one of the best compliments i have ever gotten. I sincerely hope you are enjoying your big easy. Stay tuned more great video's to come

[@stevecollins5290]

Hey bossman...I bought a big easy grill brand new for $40 bucks....the guy said the lid was missing...so my question is, was he mistaken, and there isn't a solid cover needed to use this grill? I've got the screen top cover ,is this all I need? Thnx

[@roselsimpson858]

Yes he was mistaken the screen top cover is all you need, there is only the screen top cover for the regular unit. Only the larger smoker unit comes with a lid that is attached. I don't think they sell them in the U.S. anymore.

[@stevecollins5290]

@@roselsimpson858 thanx bossman....I did a test drive on mine on Saturday and it turned out SLAMMIN! You DEFINITELY answered or addressed some of my concerns, as far as catching the drippage to use for gravy, with the hole in the pie pan video! You da man!

@@roselsimpson858 thanks I found one and bought the 22 pc kit currently on sale they just arrived I plan to try a Tandorri Fish Tikka this weekend. These accessories will greatly extend the use of my Big Easy which has cooked 30 turkeys in 10 years. Now it will be a daily driver. Keep up the good work

[@tez8754]

Brother you have a great personality I love your enthusiasm what you need to work on in my humble opinion is your camera angels and showing off the food when done. It's all about presentation and making people want to copy what you do. So enticing them with food shots is the way to go. Ie at 8 mins in you say look at the steaks but you really don't show the meat. You definitely have the personality to be successful. Good luck and thanks for the video

[@roselsimpson858]

I have been working alone but the wife is going to start helping me so hopefully i can incorporate some of your suggestions Thank you

[@koshergrillboss1355]

Just acquired both an oil less fryer and 3in1 Big Easy in slightly used condition with out the baskets. Thanks to your video here I think I am going to go with the BBQ Future Turkey Fryer Accessory Kit for Char-Broil The Big Easy Turkey Fryer Accessories. Thanks for the show. Grill On!

Game changer is right, once I did the Mod it made Big Easy life just that Easy. So Glad it worked for you

[@jaxxskeliton]

I just bought a new char broil Big easy today from Academy and it came with the new clasping basket and I'm wondering if I'll be able to use the accessories with it,and if not where can I get the original style basket and how much are they?

[@roselsimpson858]

The collapsible basket is only good for whole Turkeys and chickens you sit them in and pull the basket up around them. The original basket can be found on line at Char-Broil it is called the Big Easy Basic Roaster Basket and it is $20.00

[@jaxxskeliton]

@@roselsimpson858 Thank you, I appreciate your help. I personally don't like the new basket and prefer the other one. I think it's crazy that the new Big Easy all come with them from the factory, I think it should be an aftermarket kind of thing, like the accessories and all.

[@miltonwinslow2976]

I'm looking at cooking a Boston butt for Eastern NC BBQ. Is there a way to lower the cooking temperature to cook the Boston butt slower? Does yours come out very easy to pull apart? Thanks and enjoy watching several of your videos.

[@roselsimpson858]

You can lower the temperature slightly with the gas knob. Light the unit turn it down until the flame goes out then mark the spot. Perhap consider injecting the roast capture the juices bast it and I think you Boston butt will turn out fine.

[@miltonwinslow2976]

Thanks for the tip and information. Take care

[@nicholasvargo3086]

I just purchased one this week, and I'm sure I'll want to modify this, but my basket is the original.

[@roselsimpson858]

congratulations on your purchase you are going to love it. If you don't want to modify your original basket order you a second one and modify it. Modifying it will not hurt it in the least. Let me know how it turns out

[@amcgraw1970]

I would like to know what temp you cooked the chicken wings to make sure they were done . Thank you

[@roselsimpson858]

All poultry should be at or around 165 degrees internal temp but to be honest I always eyeball wings and thighs but to be certain I pull one off after about 45 minutes and eat it lol

Rosel, you seem to THE Big Easy expert on KZbin. I just got one as a gift. I have a question, can you turn down the gas and use the screen and get the same result on less propane? Thanks, great channel!

[@roselsimpson858]

My head is already KZbin BIG but thanks for that. Big easy recommends we use the screen on cold days toward the end of the cook to crisp the meat or not at all. The amount of gas that thing uses in minimal. During the summer months which are March-Dec in Louisiana I use my Big easy 3 to 5 times per week and I refill my tank maybe 3 times per year. Hope that answered your question. Thanks for watching and stay tuned for more great content.

I have used it with only my Grill top to cook burgers or a porkchop it got a little Smokey inside not sure if I violated manufactures specs or not lol. It didn't damage it but not sure I recommend doing that too often.
