How to set up a forentto basso 18" bullet smoker and a review - step by step - Great bbq smoker

[@johnpowell4415]

Thanks for making this video mate, much appreciated very well presented. Keep the bullet smoker videos coming! Cheers from Australia

I picked up one of these today. Was on special from local hardware shop. Been looking at them for a while, couldn't walk past the $100 tag and it was all pre-assembled. Absorbed all the info in your video, particularly about the plugs! Will give it a burn in three weeks time when I get back from work.

Just purchased the 18 inch Razzo doing some homework before I attempt my first cook your video was the most informative. So thanks and keep up the good work.👍

Thanks, I'll be uploading new videos soon

I got myself the 18" basso for Christmas, Ive had great success with wings and ribs, but not so much with brisket or spatchcock chicken. I'm still a novice and learning the ropes, it's been a lot of fun, really appreciate the videos, they're super helpful, thanks big Lez

Thanks for the demo Big Lez, I just picked one up 2nd hand. I can't wait to give it a go.

[@BigLezBBQ]

How are you getting on with your smoker?

[@plus_one]

Great Big Lez. I've done a couple of boneless beef roll things, a couple of lamb leg roasts and a chook, all without a thermometer (just the one in the lid). They were all just a tiny little bit overdone, but still soft. The chook was absolutely perfect. Yesterday I bought a set of new second hand Inkbird probes and downloaded the BBQ Go app. This will start phase 2 of my smoker cooking journey.

Great video. Currently debating between one of those modular smokers or a WSM.

[@UnitBeerMonsta]

So glad I got one of these as they no longer sell here in aus ,absolutely love mine, Wicked video mate!

[@BigLezBBQ]

Thanks really appreciate that, I'm hoping to fire mine up tomorrow for some ribs 😋

[@UnitBeerMonsta]

@@BigLezBBQ haha funny you say that thats why I had to watch your video have to touch up on me smoking its been awhile and this helped 😀

[@BigLezBBQ]

@@UnitBeerMonsta hope your cook goes well, glad it helped 👍

[@colinsimmons2913]

yes they do bunnings

[@regthegreat]

My wife bought me one for our wedding anniversary last year. Love mine. Only problem I have with mine if the clips on the lid have come undone. Other than that for under £200 it's bulletproof.

[@kevinwalsh2566]

I have that smoker and I love it, have you tried using tip top temp for temp control? I use one and find it very useful

[@BigLezBBQ]

I'll have a look thanks 👍, I definitely love how easy it is to use.

[@phil_d]

Cracking video Lez.

[@BigLezBBQ]

Thanks 😊

[@alexanderergatoudis8126]

Great vid, I'v got the Fornetto Razzo 18inch 👍🙌

[@BigLezBBQ]

Thanks 👍 how are you getting on with it?

[@alexanderergatoudis8126]

@@BigLezBBQ I'm doing great I love to use it almost every weekend although I struggle to get high temps with water pan in but I always seem to find a way

[@blackduckhomestead398]

Another great video mate, I bought the basso a few months ago and it's a great investment, I'm getting lamb legs on lock with this thing but want to change to using lump rather than briquettes, I have had issues with hot starts by lighting too much charcoal but getting there, the water pan really helps control the temp when I make a mistake 😂

[@BigLezBBQ]

Glad you enjoyed, hope it helps, I find Lumpwood the best fuel source and starting with a small fire helps you keep on top off the temps. The water pan is a great way to keep the temps stable definitely, we all make mistakes but I suppose that's all part of the learning process 😉. Year's ago when starting out I cooked a brisket that dry the dog even turned its nose up at it 😂🤣

[@blackduckhomestead398]

@@BigLezBBQ thanks for the reply mate, yeah I made a similar lamb leg, tried to get pulled lamb but ended up with boot leather lamb 😂

[@mykeyd5567]

Thanks. Great video.

[@itsdeeannaagain]

My goodness, how much does it cost 🤔. Smoke my Christmas turkey, yes!
