Would be wicked if u can do a video on your bbq area setup and which bbqs you have. Cheers

Love my Weber Kettle, so versatile and so many accessories that can go with it (I cant recommend highly enough, though pricey, the rotisserie). Amazing steaks, pulled beef and pork, slow cooked chops and snags! I also recommend having a look at the Natural Smoke range of woods for smoking, the Bourbon Barrel adds an amazing flavour, particularly chicken.

@@leighsymons5619 cheers mate!

Great vid. I would love an indepth drum smoker how to vid.

[@LownSlowBasics]

@@jedb9677 Will see what I can do 🙌

[@tlove9125]

I would also suggest the Weber Smokey Mountain as a great beginner and lifelong smoker.

[@LownSlowBasics]

@@tlove9125 agreed. They are decent.

I bought the bronco recently. I came from a rambler to this and what an amazing difference! Best $600 I have ever spent!!

[@LownSlowBasics]

@@Vikturus22 so good hey!

[@paulvictor9368]

I love my WSM! It also seem like the Weber briquettes are designed for the perfect temperature to smoke at. For searing steak, the lump charcoal is definitely hotter and a better proposition. Just blooody expensive! For wood, pecan and hickory. Cherry for a nice smoke ring. 👍🏻 Lastly, for the best results, I follow your instructions. You introduced my family to shotgun shells. Top favourite for parties with the family.

It is always good when you find a way to cook this that work, I tried your brisket at 95 degrees for all night cook and no wrapping and it is now the only way I do brisket

[@LownSlowBasics]

@@chriswoods2263 cheers mate! Such a good method hey.

[@lauriesherwood5492]

Thank you Aaron, because I watch so many of videos using the OJ Bronco Drum, that's what I went for. So much easier than the cheap thin metal offset smoker I was using. The offset did teach me patience lol

[@LownSlowBasics]

@@lauriesherwood5492 drum is such an easy smoker to use hey 🙌

Perfect timing for this video! I have a bronco drum that’s pretty greased up internally and causing flare ups and putting dirty smoke on my meats. Can I use a steel wool brush on the inside of the drum, like you showed for the grate?

[@LownSlowBasics]

@@2ez4A3Z yeah you should be ok to do that. Or a scraper.

[@theobillios6453]

Another great video thanks

Hi Aaron I have 3 Webber kettles and made some changes to 1 of them and it's sort of a drum smoker I done this 10yrs ago. But you are the cheapest way to learn smoking/slow and low is a Webber. I have several different smokers that I made myself. Most of these stuff I picked up of the street on hard rubbish day

[@LownSlowBasics]

@@anthonysmith4322 can’t go wrong with a Weber hey! Would be awesome using a smoker you built yourself too 🔥

[@anthonysmith4322]

If you to see pictures of my smokers let me know.

[@JimOHalloran]

I started with my inlaws old Webber, and did a whole bunch of cooks on that. I even built a cart for it to give myself some bench space around the Webber and a cupboard for storing heatbeads, smoking wood, etc. I've since upgraded to a drum, and my Webber these days is permanently set up with the kettle cone for chicken wings.

[@LownSlowBasics]

@ very nice!

[@davidm1563]

I didn’t hear you mention your OJ kettle that you seem to use often. Do you find that to be much of an upgrade from a Weber or are they pretty similar in performance and results?

[@LownSlowBasics]

@@davidm1563 it’s pretty much the same same 🔥

[@davidm1563]

@ interesting mate. So question then if right now I have a Weber Q, Weber kettle and Gozney Arc what if any bbq would you be looking at next that’ll offer a new / better experience that also doesn’t take up massive amounts of room like an offset would? (Only have a small patio / usable bbq area)

[@maryfrancis3]

I agree with you re the less flavour in the pellet smoker. I have a pellet tube and fill it up and add it to the smoker. Or I use my wood chip box.

[@LownSlowBasics]

@@maryfrancis3 great idea. I see some pellets have a draw you can add chunks or chips in too.

[@maryfrancis3]

@@LownSlowBasics Omg really? Have I been asleep? Would you happen to know, off the top of your head, a brand? My pellet smoker is 4 years old now - still going great, but would like to upgrade. Thanks you champ! ❤

[@LownSlowBasics]

@@maryfrancis3 I think it’s camp chef brand 😃

[@sladewilson2379]

@@maryfrancis3 I finally gave up on my offset earlier this year and bought the new Traeger Ironwood XL. I use Lumber Jack Smoking Pellets (Supreme or competition blend) and I believe they make all the difference, and the results are amazing, The difference in taste between the offset and the Traeger is VERY little (most family & friends prefer the Traeger). I found the overall build quality of the new Traeger's to be noticeably better than the Camp Chef, , however a friend who went with the Camp Chef is very happy with it and achieve similar results.

[@DooverLackey]

Can i bulk buy charcoal? Those packs off shelves at bunnings costs a lot and i dont want to keep resorting to jumbuck lump charcoal

[@LownSlowBasics]

@@DooverLackey I’m sure there’s bulk available through some suppliers if you msg them 🙌

[@VBHB83]

Bought a weber kettle from Facebook Marketplace for $250 still using it 4 years later still don't feel like I want to upgrade. Just made the best pork belly on Xmas day in the Weber.
