Is there peeling with this smoker? I been watching this one but the reviews don't really give me much security

[@tony2sips105]

So these arent for things like cooking burgers and stuff like. Strictly smoking meat? Sorry first time home owner newb here. I bought one of these and after watching this video not sure if i made the right choice.

[@GrumpusOnFire]

I’d be willing to bet most of us smokers started out with cheap, thin, leaky pits. You will look back one day and see this pit as the “one” that taught you how to: A) Manage fire, B) Manage time, C) Learn the characteristics of different woods, D) Wood/flavor profiles, E) …. You will also see the long-term value of the more expensive pits, and how much easier they are to operate. This smoker is the start of your offset journey, and I’m glad you’re sharing this and letting us all be a part of it.

Right on!

And mines different?!? Like same size same offset. But the shelves and handles are red colored wood. It is a bitch and a half to build so I didn’t even get to see if she’s leaking. But this video is also 4 years old so I’m HOPING (fingers crossed) that they’ve improved on there inexpensive smoker. Monday is going to be my first cook so we shall see.

[@christophertarsitano269]

Update ok yea she leaks just as bad ahahaha im gonna do the mods you posted in the other video. But she cooks great ,temperature builds quick and as long as you dont open and close her a bunch she holds temp great. Very happy with my first cook on it. But she needs mods for sure

Happy Father's Day CJ!!! Great video on this Offset. You can definitely mod this up to make it work for you, just takes some time and experimentation but that's part of the fun. And the best part is, since it was inexpensive if in 3-6 months you decide this is not the grill for you at least you can say you got some experience with this style of cooking and you can just donate the grill to someone. Hope you and your family have a great day!!!

I got a grill and ofset smoker just like that one for my bday last year broh, never got to use it. Well last week my girl told her family that i would smoke a brisket for Christmas

[@HeavyMetalBarBQue]

I've been waiting for this one! Yep......don't you hate putting these things together.....always turns into a half day project. I think this will be a good pit to get your feet wet on trying to tame one of these beast! There are a lot of Mods and upgrade Vids out there for these kind of smokers that may help you. Sealing the cabinet is a good start for you because what you want and need is to have proper draw through the pit. It needs that airflow for it to burn the splits properly. Having thick metal really isn't necessary in a pit if you have good airflow. The next thing you need to think about is controlling temps by the amount of wood you are burning. When that log finally ignited for you......I can guarantee your temps went through the roof. Also before it ignited you probably had a ton of thick smoke. So what you need to do is add smaller splits more frequently. You need them to catch fire and burn clean as fast as possible.....or you are gonna have some barbecue that tastes like a house fire. I recommend watching my latest video on Fire Management. I guarantee it will help and give you the information you need. With the pit you have it's not gonna be easy.... but I believe you will know what to do when you do upgrade to something better. Hope this helps. Metal On! \m/

[@CookingWithCJ]

Thanks brother! I just watched it. I was telling Mrs CJ I need to bring an axe out back because of it. You were right about the temps going through the roof. I’ll get it down for sure. Thanks for stopping by. Cheers!

[@digitalayon]

Hey Ken.....I am having a custom one built this next month bro....3/8 thick!!

[@HeavyMetalBarBQue]

[@digitalayon]

Heavy Metal Bar-B-Que yup yup....going to be a month or so and still tweaking some ideas. You know me....doing stuff that’s different. Might as well call me that “one-off” dude. I want this to be a versatile smoker. Wife wants me to consolidate down. And she is right. I will be letting go of one of my 1/4 inch Brinkmann smokers that Roger Davidson built. Don’t get me wrong because I love the 16 inch diameter units. BUT I have been selling BBQ out of my back yard the last two months. Utah allows this with a new enacted law to sell food out of a home without a Kermit. So this would be a stepping stone to a smoker trailer. But I want this to be a unit to use for multiple things. Running ideas by the builder. I just could not get what I wanted with the stuff from Texas. This will be a 800 plus pounder for sure.

[@HeavyMetalBarBQue]

[@tomsfoodfactory5086]

I'm anxious to watch the mods video. I started on a very similar smoker (Brinkman). The two issues I always struggled with were leaks and ash management. Went through a lot of charcoal because of the leaks and then ash buildup would start smothering the remaining charcoal. Getting the ash out during a cook was a nightmare.

[@CookingWithCJ]

Yeah I’m thinking the ash part is going to be a pain too. I’ll figure something out. Have a good one! Cheers!

[@BigLewBBQ]

Happy Father’s Day CJ. How were the ribs? Yeah you can fix the leaks or you can just deal with it. It may not last that long. I had a cheap off set when I was young man back on in the nineties it didn’t make it three or four months. The fire box rusted through the bottom. That was my irresponsibility, I didn’t clean the ashes as I should, I let them sit in there between cooks. It did ok ribs and chickens but I really screwed up a brisket with it. My advise is clean the ashes every time, within first 24 hours after cook. Good luck with it.

[@CookingWithCJ]

Ok thanks for the tip! Will do. Hope you have a happy Father’s Day too!

The ribs turned out pretty good considering the temp roller coaster ride... lol

How cheap?😎

[@ItsallabouttheRack]

Good way to start, cheap, and see if you like it. Next thing you know you'll be begging the wife to spend the cash on a big rig.. Lol. Have fun with her CJ!

[@CookingWithCJ]

Lol! Ya probably! Have a good one!

[@elenafitzpatrick1311]

Why would we want a grill that has so many leaks?

[@gabrielmagallanes5513]

why not? 🤣

[@CodyAndBrookeOutdoors]

I bought this and it's hard to keep it going and keep the temp up

[@CookingWithCJ]

Cody G12 I did a mods video on it. The mods really helped. This is probably the cheapest offset you can buy, but doing these mods will make it run better. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fGK0gqGuZ5qLmrs

[@CookingWithCJ]

Cody G12 much appreciated! I’m doing all my BBQ on my Second channel Cj’s Que now, check that one out too. Thanks again!

[@SuburbanBBQ]

OK ... THIS is what I like. Mod that thing! Anyone can sell a kidney and get a high dollar custom pit. Those are nice to see, but not many people have the room, budget, or understanding wife to get one.

[@CookingWithCJ]

Lol! Thanks Jim! Appreciate it brother!
