Really enjoy your videos and bought a Mini Chudbox after watching yours, Wilson's BBQ and Bradley's. These tips on fire management are great. I've been having a tough time getting temps up to 300+ and holding them. Using Fogo Black bag. Most videos show - 1 chimney of charcoal, top vent wide open. But never worked out - assumed that I needed more fuel and to choke down the heat exiting at the stack. Ran your recommendation and made some of the crispiest skin chicken. Thanks very much.

Liked the fire management tips (and the mop sauce!). One thing I have been doing on my direct heat cooker is pre-heating the charcoal inside the pit. I just keep couple of big chunks off to one side until I need to boost the coal bed. The benefit is less off-gassing of the charcoal. Similar to concept to pre-heating wood splits for off-set smoker.

Love the idea of preheating it on the side. I’ll give it a shot!

Beef backs are such good eating. It's the cut that got me in to bbq. My grandpa would cook them on his Old Smokey when I was growing up in Houston. Mop sauce is better than pre-made bbq sauce.

I made these the other day and used this video as a reference. It was good but I really wish there was more meat on there. If I do it again I’ll probably direct heat smoke it and then make some really nice stock instead of try to gnaw the meat off.
@swinebovinebarbecueАй бұрын
Yeah, some racks have more meat than others. I typically find the ones with less though. Butchers want as much of the meat to go to the ribeye as possible so it’s hard to find meaty ones in my area

Great video Drew - and thanks for the fire management tips as well - have you ever tried the B&B Char-Logs in your direct heat cooker? Keep the direct heat cooker videos coming - with football season almost hear plan on doing a lot of cooks on mine this fall

I haven’t tried the char logs. In my experience B&B charcoal has always sparked a ton while lighting. Not fun when you’re holding a torch close by

Love the direct heat cooking! I have a double pack of prime short ribs from Creekstone. Would those be a good direct heat cook? Or more of a low and slow? Keep the great content coming!!

You can’t go wrong either way. I say do both since you have two racks!

Nice video! Why not throw wood splits on the fire?? Is there a benefit of using only coals? When your at putting on a new new coals do u pre light or just throw it on cold?
@swinebovinebarbecue Жыл бұрын
Direct heat is more about cooking over coals versus adding smoke with splits. That said, feel free to add some wood if you want smoke flavor. Just be careful as it can lead to flare ups which can cause issues since your meat is directly above the fire. I don’t pre light coals when I add. I just throw them on top of the already lit coals and let them do the work.

As always, great cook! Where did you get the charcoal shovel/spreader, or what brand are you using?

Want a Chud box badly- but just can't justify the price- not now- maybe not even later. I can get pretty close with my UDS - no deflector, no water pan. I really enjoy your channel (and Bradley's). Appreciated /thumbs up and subscribed.

should of put the mop sauce in the smoker to get a smokey flavour.... then stick blended the mop sauce, adding gravy mix IF needed.... pour into silicone ice cube trays and there you go.... awesome smoke flavoured gravy whenever you need it.

Any fire bricks to protect the firebox since 3/16 steel isn’t necessarily bulletproof to have burning charcoals on top it.
