Fat Es BBQ How to Set Your Tuning Plates on Your Lone Star Grillz

[@sandycantu6830]

Thank you ✌🏽🫶🏽

[@m80HE]

I just started a cook and plates are set up somewhat as your. I have five plates and working with it. Temps are about 10 degrees difference. I appreciate you taking the time to make this video.

[@FatEsBBQ]

Yessir!! hope it helps out.

[@johnknapp6328]

Eric good to hear from you. The video was great thats the first Ive seen someone actually show the plates and show how to space them, for the cause and effect of temperatures across pit.

[@FatEsBBQ]

Thanks a bunch for the continued support!

[@GrillingNetwork]

Great Video!! I like the explanation!! Keep the videos coming!!

[@FatEsBBQ]

Thank you very much! I will keep trying to make some good stuff and getting better.

[@4seasonsbbq]

More videos please, I love you watch them they are very informative and entertaining.

[@crazymonkey9611]

For what it’s worth, I really enjoy your videos. You have a really good presence in front of the camera, you edit your videos well, and your background music is killer! Keep up the good work!

[@FatEsBBQ]

Hey Elliott and Shelley. I truly appreciate the kind words. Thank you for your support as well.

[@rodwhite9769]

Great explanation. I've never seen or configured tuning plates.

[@dereksque2367]

Nice video, I'm waiting on my smoker and cant wait. Chris is a cool dude.

[@FatEsBBQ]

Congrats!! you will love it. Chris and company are awesome people and very good craftsman.

[@fam_eats_4850]

Nice vid. Thx

[@FatEsBBQ]

Your welcome Fam Hope it helps out a bit.

[@texasdaze22]

Man you must of read my mind...was gonna request a tuning plate how to video. That's been my challenge. I think I'm going to get a fire going tonight just to dial in for my smoke tomorrow. Great video my man keep em coming!

[@FatEsBBQ]

Thanks Andre, I have been meaning to do this but always kept forgetting. Hope it helps a little.

[@raytrout8272]

I know this is a old video but I really like it I've been doing offsets for a while You know these are a little on the smaller side compared to the great big ones and they can't handle the big fires and I think if you run the tuning plates right you can run a big fire Is that right

[@Westsideauditor1469]

Hey Fat E's BBQ!!!! I'm a new subscriber and I must say, I'm totally hooked on your videos!!! I absolutely love how genuine and honest that you are, that's so refreshing to see on KZbin which is filled with so many FAKE people making FAKE videos!!! I've always loved to BBQ but I'm nowhere near your expertise but I'm working on it! Keep making these great videos bro and I'll keep watching. I'm planning on taking a trip soon to go visit my sister who also lives in San Antonio, I'd love to come by and learn some stuff from you while I'm there. Yes I know that sounds creepy, but I'm just a huge fan of BBQ and I love learning from people like you!

[@crazymonkey9611]

Just wanted to take a minute to wish you a happy thanksgiving Eric. Thank you for all the time you take to make these videos so we can be better pitmasters!

[@lookatmelookatme8974]

I just subbed yesterday...great channel, keep doing your thang homie...

[@rvpps]

Nice job Morpheus

[@FatEsBBQ]

Yea buddy!! thanks

[@buddylacey8673]

Hey nice videos. I have a quick question for you. I’m in process of choosing my Lonestar grill. My question is if you got the 24x48 again would you have the same setup or would you go with the box over the firebox. Thanks I appreciate the info.

[@ericmoreno6318]

Nice to hear from ya brother.......thought you had forgotten about us.......probably busy with life I get it but thanks for the videos

[@FatEsBBQ]

Yea I have been pretty busy with work and family stuff. I havent forgot about you all. You all have been crazy awesome with your support. Thanks again. I have a couple more I need to edit.

[@seguine32]

Finally got my plates, gonna try to set mine up the same

[@jasonguthrie2734]

Eric, from one Texan to another, great channel.... we need some more content! I’m looking into a “Dr Pepper” marinated, rubbed and smoked brisket. Can you try out a few for us. Thanks.

[@MooreMeat_KC_BBQ]

What’s up Fat E? Big Chris out of Kansas City. Are you running your firebox door and chimney wide open? I usually do but I’m still running a lot hotter by my chimney than my firebox. My next move is to shut the firebox door but leave the vents open. My only worry is less oxygen causing dirtier smoke. Trial and error method 🤞🏼

[@terrycrowder8430]

Very nice 👍

[@whatsgrowingon]

How wide are those tuning plates. what are the dimensions?

[@edawg0852]

Great content! Keep uploading loving it, also the fact we have the same name is great haha

[@jw15540]

I’m a new subscriber, and I really enjoy your videos. One question I have is, how do you clean your LSG after a cooked? In watching your videos, the exterior and your grates are immaculate. What’s your process? A video covering this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Bruh!

[@ericramirez9240]

Cool video!!! Are you going to smoke any Turkeys or Prime Rib for the Holidays??? If so it would be awesome if you did a video on that!!!!! Your pit is bad ass!!!! Gotta see if Santa can bring me something similar to what you have for Christmas. Lol!!!

[@FatEsBBQ]

Thank Eric, Yes I will probably be doing a Spatchcock Turkey for Thanksgiving this year. Thanks again for the kind words... I hope Santa brings you some good stuff this year!!!

[@DavidGarcia-lb4xy]

Thanks brotha.

[@GrumpusOnFire]

Great video Eric. I’ve been sitting on footage on this subject for over a month, but I couldn’t figure out how to deliver it. Your explanation was perfect. Good job…

[@FatEsBBQ]

I appreciate it Grumpus. I know its not the most detailed explanation, but I kept telling myself I need to do it, but I kept forgetting lol..

[@williambrooymans]

good guideline! i have one question tho: what is the distance between your tuningplates and your lower foodgrade??

[@FatEsBBQ]

I am not sure William. next time I get a chance I will take a measuring tape to it and find out. Hopefully this video helps out a bit. i know its not perfect but it could give a good starting point.

[@whattheforkpitmasterbbq1515]

Very informative video. Ordered the 24" vertical and can't wait to get it! Which HEB carries B&B Post oak in SA? The ones I've been to seem to carry everything but Post oak.

[@DrtySprckt]

DE CEE check any local Academy. I know none of the HEBs I’ve checked here in Houston have the B&B oak, but all of the Academy’s have it

[@whattheforkpitmasterbbq1515]

@@DrtySprckt thanks brah!

[@FatEsBBQ]

I find it at the Potranco HEB plus and I find it at the Alamo Ranch one. I would really love to buy my own cords, but I just dont have the space here yet lol. You will absolutely love your Lone Star Grillz bud!

[@whattheforkpitmasterbbq1515]

@@FatEsBBQ thanks brother, I'll hit them up. Wish I had the space for my own cords too!

[@moeesco36]

Just started watching your work. Looks great and the video quality is good as well. When are you coming back out?

[@Alamopiper]

What is the model number of your grill/ smoker do you have? Your turkey video from 2017 was great!!! I just found your channel today and subscribed! I live in Selma, TX. So we are neighbors.

[@FatEsBBQ]

It is the Lone Star Grillz 24 x 48 with 24 in vertical offest smoker. Give them a call they are incredible people.

[@deardante4454]

Sup neighbour. Looks like im first view and comment. Awesome lol

[@FatEsBBQ]

AWESOME!! thanks for your support! thats too funny you got it right away. Super cool. I have another 2 videos coming soon, I have just been swamped with work I havent been able to edit.

[@Hashslingingslasher-]

We miss ya videos E, I hope you're all good mate

[@crazymonkey9611]

Where ya been bro? We miss your videos. Hope u r well.

[@laxdfns]

Quick question, whered you get the tuning plates?

[@FatEsBBQ]

They came with the Lone Star Grillz pit when I bought it. I’m sure you can buy separate from them if needed.

[@AddictedFishing1]

What's the height from top of tuning plates down to the pipe chamber @ CL of pipe?

[@shugakayne]

Hello Boss. Love ur videos. Quick question. Wanted to ask how you transport the LSG if you wanna do.a cook out off premises? Do you drag it using its own wheels or you lift it into something else on wheels?

[@There-are-bats-everywhere]

Hello there Fat-E, what brand of wood is that in the background? I have a Lonestar in transit to my house right now and I am looking for a good quality wood.

[@Hotloads69]

Had one of these and noticed too much radiant cooking above the tuning plates. Proper drafting and top flow eliminates the need for tuning plates.

[@gregjones8453]

Hi Fat E, when you are managing your heat, do you try to maintain 250 the entire time, or do you take averages?. For instance, do you get the heat up to 275 and then let it drop to 225 before you add another log?

[@ritoluis4903]

Where did you get them from?

[@tinyturbo317]

Brooooo wussup with the vids!?!?!!

[@mikejimenez322]

Why did you stop making vids? Do you have another channel ?

[@TylerTrill]

I’m from San Antonio how much for you to make me a brisket!!!

[@terrycrowder8430]

Where’s the Likes people! 😃👍

[@davidduffy9806]

Great vid! The only issue I have with your otherwise outstanding vid is your heavy Uzbekistani accent. Maybe you could remove the dialogue from your vids and feature vignettes of traditional Uzbekistani folk dancing? Also for a folk dancing channel, I don't quite comprehend why you spend so much time on cooking. I love ethnic cooking but maybe less cooking and more dancing.

[@PainKillersHell]

Consider changing your camera positioning, or blurring. I can see your house number and a bit of surroundings, watch out for creeps!
