Don't hate on gas smoker open your mind

[@charlesturner5195]

Just got my first smoker (propane) and this video has me feeling better about it. Thanks

[@mauriceford9117]

Nice video I just got a pit boss gas smoker couldn’t find any videos about gas smokers just a wood pellet ones mostly glad to hear that the gas ones work great

[@NatureByKiwi]

Hello Mark from New Zealand, starting to get into smoking meat and fish. Thank you for your review

[@DMATcyt]

Enjoyed your commentary. My Friend is building me a portable propane smoker. You definitely alleviated some concerns. GOD BLESS.

[@Imdustin88]

First of your videos I ever seen. Im tired of staying up all night and need the easy way . Thanks.

[@fb510m]

Hey Mark, you're doing perfect. I'm converting my smoker to gas for all the great advantages so I'm with you.

[@robertgivens3174]

Mark my brother!!!! I just purchase a pit boss red rock propane I can’t wait thanks for your tips time is important learning how to appreciate a quality piece of meat low and slow and the right combinations of wood and charcoal is the best.👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿

[@JohnC-kc5uh]

Bro them days of staying up and camping next to the pit, I'm like you them days are over when you got a smoker

[@achillesmarcos1717]

A tip : you can watch movies at Kaldrostream. Me and my gf have been using them for watching all kinds of movies these days.

[@emersongarrett3904]

@Achilles Marcos Yea, I've been using flixzone} for since december myself :)

[@Seaaroundus]

I bought propane because I can still use this when the power is out. Like several days after a hurricane. Same reason I have a propane generator.

[@gburcalow]

Mark, I really appreciate this video. I am about to purchase a new smoker. I had been tossing around the idea of getting an offset horizontal charcoal smoker or possibly a vertical. I am old school and know how to smoke on an offset with charcoal. But now I'm now leaning more toward a vertical gas smoker. Some of the best restaurant grade smokers in the world are built right here in Mesquite, Texas at J&R Manufacturing. They mostly run on gas and electricity but use wood as their source of smoke and flavor. And why not use a more stable form of heat in a backyard smoker like they do? The heat source is not providing the flavor, it's the chips, chunks, or logs you are heating up and smoldering! You can put anything you want in that wood tray. Why constantly battle trying to regulate the heat? In my household I don't have time to be running in and out checking a fire. I can just add some more smoking wood every 3-4 hours and check my temps while I am at it. Sounds like a more productive day to me. Thanks again and keep on 'queing!

[@jessescepurek4255]

thanks for this video I watched this and I myself have every smoker from pellet to off set but this just confirms what I've been thinking so I went to town this morning after watching this and bought the same smoker

[@christophervarela7699]

My friend gave me his charbroil vertical gas smoker 600, thats why I'm watching this video. Thanks for all the information, I'm sure I'll be getting alot of use on it.

[@anthonyvillarreal2686]

Thats just smart! Consistent heat with the same charcoal and wood smoke.

[@2010stoof]

I've got a master built pro 40". Not as wide as yours. It was a prize at work. Free is always good haha At the directions of many, I've added lavalock seals to it, added 10psi regulator with needle valve for lower steady temps, added grommets to side for my temp probes, and swapped out the fire bowl and put cheap grate on and use a 10" cast iron skillet (mine the fire bowl sits right on the flame) which allows for more smoke and less fire for my wood. Added bonus is if I turn mine to high with charcoal and wood in the skillet, it lights it faster than a chimney would.

[@gregpramuka4239]

I didn't know or think to put wood and charcoal into a gas smoker. I think I'll buy and try one now. I want to try them all anyway lol. I have a pellet smoker now.

[@dmaster225]

Man i never knew there was a stigma against propane smokers, but let me tell you once i got one, my offset smoker hasnt seen much use. Now i use it so much that Hank Hill would be proud.

[@joegamez953]

Always open to new ways to bbq. Coming from South Texas, its all made with mesquite. The best way! Love your channel Mark!!

[@Rubberglass]

Just got a Dyna Glo gas smoker from my father in law. This video made me so excited to try it!

[@georgekavalauskas7537]

Thank you for the insight and the fun and straightforward approach. Great info!!!

[@distantgalaxymusic1447]

My buddy bought a propane smoker/cooker like they use in Chinese restaurants. Cost about $6000. Best smoker ever.

[@ScottyD]

I just got the Thermotemp XL and really appreciate this video as I could not get my chunk wood to smoke without removing the heat shield and place the wood pan directly on the flame. I bought some wood chip and was able to get that to smoke with the stock configuration but don't want to have to buy chip wood as I have plenty of chunk hardwood in my wood storage. What is the starter device you're using to get the coal and wood chunks to start smoking?

[@cornwasher]

I've gas smokers for years without any complaint. I'd own a fancy vertical off set stick burner if one showed up on my doorstep but unless there was a compelling reason to use it like the guys were going to show up and drink beer for hours to watch the smoker smoke. Three or four hours is about as much smoke on meat as I want and that is what you can get on one cooking. Good job selling the gas smoker and I had meager success with my pellet smoker. Sold it and moving on....

[@patedwards8731]

I use a hark gas smoker and absolutely love it .. I only use wood chips but I soak them and use the smoker box that sits directly over the gas burner

[@gregblau8082]

I've had a charcoal/wood smoker for years and have been wanting to simplify. The advantages you talked about are pretty much the reasons I'm looking to change

[@burningstrawman2589]

The wife and I JUST bought a propane smoker and I already want a bigger one, and I haven't even got the propane yet, lol. Thanks for this video though, I almost regretted not getting several other ones. So, we'll find out how this is. Can't wait for the pork bellies, ribs, fish and BRISKET.

Thanks for the explanation !! Great video !!!

[@maxquigley9524]

I was looking for an honest review and demo of how to use this smoker. I'll take your word that it works well, but I need to keep looking for some reviews of the smoker itself.

[@dixieboy5689]

Alright. Good stuff. But not for me. I just called the local BBQ/Smoke shack take out place here in town. They will be here in 1/2 hour with the PIT BOSS SAMPLER PLATTER , Y'All !! At the door! They take EBT EBT , Dang. Gotta go and get my purple drank on. respect.

[@fieldtrailer]

The issue is on long cooks, you have to feed the smoke so much because it burns off quickly. I have seen videos where they converted the water bowl to a wood chip container. Seems you would want this minimal maintenance since you are using propane to give you constant heat for a long time.

[@Timrathmore]

Love the video. I'm actually going to purchase one this weekend lol

[@johnwesterhoff8377]

Propane smokers were made for people that are tired of constantly watching the temperature from an offsite. Best thing ever!

[@cornbread6520]

I just bought a propane smoker and I love it. The food is great

[@ryanchernochan9366]

I subscribed cause of this video. Been trying to find a nice balance between ease of use and flavor so I’ve been debating buying a “dual fuel” Smoker by masterbuilt to try and get the beat of both worlds but wasn’t sure exactly how it was going to work. Thanks

[@johnnysmith487]

Hey mark love the video, just wondering what type is that smoker i woukd like to buy the same one

[@-David_Knight-]

Thanks for the advice Mark! I just got the same smoker because of this video. I'm cooking some chicken and sausage right now. It smells so good!

[@banatserbia]

In the end its all about how it tastes. Not how you get there. I'm with you 110%. The easier for me the better. I got both charcoal/wood and propane smokers. I do more with the propane smoker now. It's a set it a forget it thing. But my other smoker c/w now is strictly for sausage.

[@Ladyredwingrider]

I just got a propane smoker today, looking forward to smoking some stuff for 4th of July.

Hi Mark you are doing great. All new good gages are there to make wherever we do easier.

[@Mixwell1983]

Not hating on gas smokers, I just ordered one the other day and its supposed to arrive today. Its a 36" cuisinart vertical smoker. Got a legit thermometer coming in from amazon to replace factory one!! Got 2 racks of spare ribs i pulled out the freezer to defrost and pop this smokers cherry after I season it. I beem using my charbroil charcoal offset for like 7 years and when I dont have time to babysit it i want something i can set and forget to do other things.

[@woodspirit98]

I use almost no electricity and I've done a huge brisket once yrs ago in an offset smoker using oak firewood. Came out perfect but I'm liking that propane. Don't have to cut a tree down buck it, split it, stack it or dry it. I feel the same way about pellets for cooking as you. Why not just use OSB or plywood if you're gonna use pellets. Im loving the propane idea at my offgrid cabin. Thumbs up.

[@nickalasstewart1249]

Can i ask what smoker your using I'm in Australia and I'm considering converting from the pellet smoker to a gas smoker and your smoker looks pretty bloody neat

[@chuckarock2001]

Thanks for your video. Regards from Australia 🤓🇦🇺

[@peteprizzi8508]

Thanks for being truthful about stuff. So after having a cheap off-set smoker ( 100.00) Brinkman, i just bought a Oklahoma Joe off-set rig. It's made well but i'm weary of fire management. It is a struggle to keep the fine line of "Good Smoke+ Bad Smoke! I just can't seem to shake that bad flavor. I've tried all flavors of smoke wood + even special ordered "Post Oak" but no luck! But i almost bought a "Master Built" propane when i was lookin' at the O J smoker. I read some mixed reviews on it, but i'm thinkin' of selling the O J rig, too much work trying to keep temps up. I don't believe in "Set it + forget it but i thinking strongly of gettin' a propane rig. I used my old Weber grill yesterday in a indirect cooking way + guess what once you set the temp it stays that way. I did beef short ribs + they were great! Also i'm finding out you don"t need that much smoke to get the flavor. Like "3-2-1 method on pork ribs, 3 hrs is much too long i feel. Everybodys different! So thats my story + good job on your video.

Converted mine to natural gas, hooked to main patio line, set and forget, just add some chunks once in a while. Nothing come close convenience wise.

[@garrettabcdefg4602]

Propane smokers are the best. You get constant temp and can burn chips or chunks which is literally just as good as any way of smoking

No hate just would rather stay Old School on smoking meat. Grew up in Texas Bro. Smoking meat was and is a Family Tradition. Still like Charcoal and Wood Smoked Meat the best. Granted temp control is easier on a gas cooker. Its just not the same. The smoke ain't the same, taste ain't the same etc.

[@ericbrooks9355]

pellets are fine. they are just extruded with high pressure. the natural resins from the wood make it stick together. you can also burn them in a smoking tube like incense. doesn't produce much heat but plenty of smoke for cold smoking things like cheese...

[@USA__2023]

I have 2 masterbuilt electric smokers. Digital electric smokers are pretty good at holding an accurate temperature. Most of them only go up to 270 degrees so they won't be any faster than a charcoal smoker. The only pain when using electric smokers is keeping a smoke supply. There are various ways to do it but it is something that you will need to add if you want to set and forget
