How to add easy smoke flavor on charcoal barbecues using wood pellets - BBQFOOD4U

[@Beencouraged777]

Wow that chicken...beautiful!!

[@CookingwithKirby]

Hey Jason, nice to see a video from you brotha! You have me impressed with those pellets. I had my eye on using Pellets on my new Weber Kettle grill. You just confirmed my idea. Thanks for the tips. Cheers!

[@TheBarbecueShow]

Thanks so much Kirby! The pellets work great in all sorts of different setups on your new Weber. Just call it testing and go play around cooking a bunch of food. When it cools down a bit outside cold smoked cheese is a must try for sure. Have Fun!

[@CookingwithKirby]

The Backyard BBQ Show - BBQFOOD4U Sure will, thank you.

[@akssal578]

Great video. Very thorough for different grills. I am inspired and informed about using the pellets for smoke.

[@hoofhearted79]

Great info. Looks great. Was curious about the green egg and you nailed. Thanks!

[@tonydancefit]

Wow man. This video is amazing.

[@moocowdad]

good to see you back Kinger, hope youve been well and hope the city in the middle of a forest suits you, cheers and again great seeing you posting again-Dave

[@TheBarbecueShow]

Hey Dave! Thanks so much for checking it out. I think it time to move...maybe BC. You'll like the bacon cheeseburger potato recipe I just did.

[@HobiesGarageBBQ]

Great stuff! Glad to see you back at it recently. That is some creative ways to smoke very informative thanks.

[@TheBarbecueShow]

Thanks! I have some good stuff I've been saving for new videos.

[@teammartinez5745]

Damn this is a bbq wizard!

[@tomevans5458]

I've been waiting for more videos! Glad to have you back!

[@TheBarbecueShow]

Thanks, Tom! You'll probably like what's coming up soon lol

[@tomevans5458]

Bring'em on!

[@prl1197.]

Well produced, executed and informative video bro!! I've been using pellets on my Weber Kettles for a while now, but I picked up some great techniques here. You're absolutely right about the cost differential between pellets vs sticks/chunks/chips. When using pellets, I'll often bury a couple wood chunks in the charcoal if I need a deeper penetration on longer cooks (butts and briskets). Haven't tried "cold smoking" (fish/cheese) yet, but you've planted a seed.

[@yellowspike3344]

what about offset smoker? is it better to use a tube or snake method?

[@rootboycooks]

Good video tutorial! Going to try some of these techniques soon! Thanks, Jay!

[@TheBarbecueShow]

I can’t wait to see the good stuff you cook up. Rootboy Rocks! 🤟

[@ryanharrison2135]

I haven’t tried the kingsford pellets yet but everything else kingsford is quality. I have my kettle going with chicken and pellets scattered right now. They work great for fast cooking. Glad to see you back.

[@TheBarbecueShow]

Grab a bag and give them a try. Awesome to hear you have some BBQ chicken going with youtube on. Now that's cooking! Thanks for checking it out!

[@jonorisin73]

Nice dude. I like the variety of methods and options.

[@ericgalyean9051]

I’ve tried wood chunks and chips but not pellets. What would u say are the pros and cons of each if there are??

[@michaelmullins4372]

Great video! Saving this bad boy!

[@CookinWithJames]

im fairly new to your channel!! this video was awesome and i been thinking about using pellets on my charcoal grill!! Great video as well!!

[@TheBarbecueShow]

Cool James and thanks for checking the video out. Let me know how it goes when you do some test with the pellets on your charcoal cookers. I didn't even show cost per use but half a cup of pellets for smoke is only a few pennies and a 10-pound bag would really last a long time compared to buying smoking wood chips from a big box store. Thanks again for checking it out.

[@CookinWithJames]

good to know. because i thought they were more expensive

[@nj4308]

YES! Welcome Back!

[@TheBarbecueShow]

LoL You ain't see nothing yet.

[@frank-ls1sl]

Hey Jason great info. was wondering have you ever used pellets in a charbroil vertical electric smoker.

[@HeavyMetalBarBQue]

Hey Ja! All good tips for the Tubers out there. Easy and convenient to use. Gonna look into the price on these....always looking to try something new. Kingsford makes quality products......and the pellet game is growing.....can't blame them for jumping in on it. \m/

[@TheBarbecueShow]

Yeah! You do some cool stuff I really like and I'd like to see what you cook up incorporating the pellets in for the smoke on one of your cool cookers. Keep on experimenting because there are no rules in BBQ. Thanks for checking it out.

[@danielploy9143]

Wondering if these pellets contain any heavy metals?

[@HeavyMetalBarBQue]

\🔥/ 🍺

[@demetriagreen03]

Thank you for this info❣️

[@SmokingBears]

Wow great review video. Very informative and cool

[@TheBarbecueShow]

Thanks so much, Smoking Bears! Just subscribed to your channel. Keep on making those videos.

[@edwinlang2426]

Awesome! Very helpful. Thanks for all the info.

[@damonthompson7395]

Dang Dude you rock

[@jjseandxcefree]

can you use this on a propane bbq? like in a small metal box/tin foil...

[@emmettdriggers1602]

First time tuning in. Questions answered about pellets and charcoal grilling. Thanks

[@jcapezio]

Great video! How can I use the pellets on a char-broil infrared gas BBQ?

[@TheBarbecueShow]

Thanks! Just toss a foil pack on the heat diffuser plate over a burner. Place the cooking grate on and you're good to go!

[@danielploy9143]

Educational.... question if you don’t mind. Why not use wood chips or chunks. Do you believe you get better flavor with pellets?

[@wilchastang7536]

But do you soak your coals in charcoal fluid? If not how do you get them to burn without a starter?

[@Chilax]

The other lot coals light them it’s the snake method

[@ll_spud]

Thanks for the great tips. 👍

[@louisd7242]

Great content thanks 🙏 for sharing

[@GarPunktTV]

Great tutorial! :-)

[@TheBarbecueShow]

Thanks so much!

[@StraightOutOfOrono]

Nice to see a new vid from you. Never tried the pellets. Will give it a try. I see you have a new edition to your smoker collection. I went to Big Papps website. Those drums are quite pricey. Are they in Canada ?

[@TheBarbecueShow]

Hey Dan! Thanks for checking this one out. The BPS drum smoker I've had for years and I love it. It's truly a great cooker and they have kits starting around $130 and you can build that smoker with just finding a metal drum. The kit requires no welding or cutting to assemble. I'll you need is a drill with a few measurements to get it fully assembled. After buying a few cans of paint you have a competition smoker for around $150 which can't be beaten. I'm not sure if there have a Canadian distributor that stocks the kit but Big poppas are out of the US but they do international shipping. Shoot them an email to find out more.

[@StraightOutOfOrono]

I just see the original Pit Barrel Cooker is on sale with cover for $299 @ Canadian Tire. Think im gonna grab one. Thanks for the input.

[@TheBarbecueShow]

Sweet! Have fun cooking some good BBQ.

[@byronargueta3331]

when u were cooking the whole chicken . how open was ur vent in the bottom and top?

[@BoghyFL]

minimum 375F - all the way open!

[@darrellbrixey5341]

Thank you! 🙏🏻😇

[@stellacatfish]

What's the moisture content of a pellett? Dirty smoke.

[@julieparsons3216]

how do u light a bbq? i use brickckette coals but they never burn, usually add a liquid addition lighter fluid. it always goes out, wat am i doin wrong

[@TheBarbecueShow]

Try a charcoal chimney but a big factor is where people store their briquettes. Charcoal briquettes can absorb moisture making them hard to light and burn properly if kept in a damp place or depending on the weather they can be hard to light. Try a new bag from any store and I hope they fire up easy. A charcoal chimney is less than $10 and found in most outdoor sections in big box stores. A few pieces of newspaper and it fires up. Good Luck!

[@laceyturner6413]

I buy kingsford matchlight the only kind I can get to work

[@xTHEPIPERx]

Cool add video!

[@HobiesGarageBBQ]

Nice job!

[@ghidfg]

I didnt know what I was doing and added a bunch of pellets to the charcoal chimney in the middle of the charcoal and it smoked up the entire neighborhood!

[@sohappytogether353]

😂😂😂

[@Crazywaffle5150]

This is exactly how I do it. LMFAO.

[@sandyblue4235]

That's a good looking chicken.

[@convolutedconcepts]

How long for a turkey?

[@drupe3000]

Has that Miami Florida tan

[@hoanghuynh8160]

Dont need for charcoal become amber?

[@Trd2020]

Aren’t the wood pellets more expensive than regular wood?

[@TheBarbecueShow]

Price per pound for smoking wood from a big box store in the BBQ section, the pellets destroy them on price and cost per use when used this way. A bag of smoking wood chips I've seen from $7 to $14 which was only a few pounds. 20-pound bags off Amazon is $19. I didn't weight out a cup or half cup of the pellets but it's hundreds of cooks from just a bag. The cheapest is going and cutting wood but for some people, that's not an option. Give it a try!

[@tootal2pp]

What was the brand name of those pellets again? hehehe! So, for smoke on a gas BBQ we need a pellet box? Sounds reasonable.

[@donhgr]

Every HomeDepot sells smoke boxes for next to nothing over in bbq about the size of an old match box. Mine has lasted years and was under 10 bucks

[@TheBarbecueShow]

For sure. I do have one of those around that would work great and a little cast iron pot with a lid. Just trying to keep things easy and I even just tossed a handful in the corner of the coals. Thanks for the tip and checking out the video

[@romansthirteen-four8626]

Dude - you’re terrible!! You’ve GOT to have a disclaimer that you’re going to show DELICIOUS looking food smoked right there on screen !! Now ma’ mouth is watering (literally) & I have hunger. Thanks for the techniques - I’m now a (starving) fan!!

[@81Garret]

I'd be worried about using charcoal that isn't fully lit adding bad flavor to my meat

[@Chilax]

Everyone been smoking like that for awhile all seems tasty

[@giovannacruzfritsch6789]

Great video for pros, not for beginners. There are some valid questions that you didn't answer. about the charcoal fluid. I haven't seen you put any. I thought you need to wait the charcoal is some yellow color to start cooking the meat

[@poisonduckee]

He probably started it with a torch. If you use fluid, you want to make sure it's all burnt away prior to putting food on. I would strongly urge you not use fluid, a canister starter is super easy to use and you don't have to buy fluid and you'll never get that chemical taste in your food. He has a thermometer on the grill. All that matters is the temperature is high enough to cook. You don't want a lot of wood chips/pellets burning at once. Have them either in the foil pack or add just a small amount to charcoal at a time. I hope that helps ✌️

[@deniserowe6528]

Please be careful. I did this and the hot pellets fell through the bottom of the weber kettle and started a big fire. Half of my BBQ was on fire and the flame were like 3 feet high. If hadn't gone out to see it, it would have started the house on fire.

[@Sola_Scriptura_1.618]

Lmfao....that was the funniest thing I have ever read! I can imagine the energy pellets hold! Thanks for the PSA!

[@jeffreyschmidt3997]

I'm sure you'd be laughing if your house burned down 😒

[@susanlovesjava4961]

Why was the bbq so close to the house?

[@Senseiquan1900]

Just salt and pepper lol

[@0749-c4q]

All you need bud

[@TheMrPloppy]

This is an ad.

[@HobiesGarageBBQ]

No it's not. He's been a YT BBQer for years.

[@hermar3656]

Those pellets need to burn down some . Or else you'll get bad smoke. Can't substitute a fully lit log under full combustion. Been trying for years

[@johncarroll3370]

Nevermind it took you too long to explain

[@j.a.1785]

Maybe TicTok or a KZbin short is more your speed since you have the attention span of a toddler.
