[@Cuarenta]

love the rain in the background

[@gsteve3945]

Thanks for the recipe. Another 10 out of 9. Set it and relax for the next 16 hours. Comes out perfect.

[@BBQandBottles]

Great to hear Steve - Hope the whole family enjoyed it!!

[@I_playpillars]

That little guy can really put it away , WOW !!!!

[@BBQandBottles]

You speak the truth :)

[@joshgreen9708]

Great results 10 out of 9!!! Fantastic lol only way to do one relax and it does all the work. I'm impressed with the komodo

[@BBQandBottles]

Yeah, I was pretty impressed with how low effort this one was. And of course the 10 out of 9 score... I mean I couldn’t be more humbled to get that score from my nephew 😁😁

[@DevinzYT]

Nice man. How many pounds was that, and what was the total cook time?

[@RonynLoneWolf]

10 out 9 wins everytime! 👍

I’m so up in the air on n a new smoker I have a wsm and love it but it’s getting to the end of its life it’s like do I spend money on replacing and upgrades on it or go with a new one ? The kamado Feels so well built and looks pretty straight forward on simplicity . Would love any suggestions

[@danimarino5653]

Very interesting cook with a great result! 👍

[@carlosmtravels]

I didn’t see any smoke? Looks amazing either way!

[@renaej3796]

That looks AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS!! And your nephew is a real cutie pie.😊

This was a great idea fora video..

Another great video.

I’m about to attempt my first butt on my big Joe. I have so far done 2 briskets, a duck, burgers, chicken and steaks on it. I will try this method and it should be ready for dinner tomorrow night! Thanks for the vid! Also, Cam should start a channel making condiments for your BBQ. Cam’s condiments. Make bbq sauces, make horseradish sauce for prime rib, et cetera.

[@BBQandBottles]

Thanks Joseph! I’ll let Cam know 😃

[@BBQandBottles]

Good luck with the cook by the way! Let us know how it turns out.

[@JosephPerrigoue]

BBQ and Bottles thanks! Will do!

[@JosephPerrigoue]

BBQ and Bottles I would like to know if more smoke would penetrate the meat if you had set it fat side down? I thought the whole concept of the smoke deflector was to drop the smoke down from above?

[@TheMcdred]

How was the duck, btw?

[@dustin829]

How hard is it to add wood chunks to the smoke? Does it really get enough smoke flavor from the lump charcoal? I am used to offsets where I keep adding wood to get the deep smoke flavor. Thanks everyone for any advice as I may need to pick one of these up in the near future :)

[@BBQandBottles]

It’s really easy. You can just add two or three chunks of wood on top of the charcoal.

[@dustin829]

@@BBQandBottles but do you have to lift up like 50 attachments to do that? There is no side door right? No direct access to coals?

[@BBQandBottles]

Oh, no you just remove the grill grates and the deflector plate and you can add wood. Easy peasey

[@dustin829]

@@BBQandBottles thanks! I'm gonna get one. :)

[@desertweasel6965]

I pick up the entire divide and conquer rack and that lifts everything out at once. I've only done that a couple times to check the charcoal. You really only want to have smoke for the first 2 or 3 hours of a long cook. That's when it adsorbs the best flavor. Don't make the same mistake I did and kept adding wood, because it makes your food taste acrid and like you're eating a burnt piece of wood from a campfire.

[@leightonmouse9191]

Does air get in with the probe wires on the gasket? Or leak smoke?

[@BBQandBottles]

No, there’s a clamp at the front that keeps it sealed tight

[@dustin829]

Next question... classic 3 or big joe 3? I cook mostly just for my wife, 2 kiddos, and my self but do like to entertain on occasion. Can the big one run just as long on the same fuel or does it have a larger charcoal area and need more fuel for the same 12 hour cook? Thanks!

[@BBQandBottles]

I’d stick with the classic 3. Big Joe is just too large for 4 people and yea it will take more charcoal too.

[@davidrussell631]

No wood chunks?

[@GrillinWithDad]

Great looking pork butt. One of my favorites to cook at home

[@r8drvr819]

Ninja gloves are interesting!

[@insanemakaioshin]

Ninjago Lore for the nephew

[@ronniesolomon5235]

How do you do more charcoal if needed while cooking for 12+ hours?

[@BBQandBottles]

You can just pull the grill grates out of the grill (using heat resistant gloves) and then add more charcoal in if necessary.

[@desertweasel6965]

I cooked 7 hrs and never needed to add any. There was some left over and i didn't even fill the fire bowl to the holes.

[@davidzimmerman7770]

I'm new at this komodo stuff but I'm stunned at how little of the charcoal is needed to keep these things going

[@josevega6254]

Nice, that was killer and low maintenance no less! Put him on a kamado Jo jr and coach him!😁🤤

[@robertstitt1232]

I nearly died when he threw away the fat cap......I cant believe you did that. Fail.

[@robertstitt4004]

@Thebuckstopshere Right here Sucks to suck

[@brewsterly2927]

@@robertstitt4004 Some folk don't like fat, or think it makes you fat, nothing could be further from the truth. My body thrives on ketones and I am slim and feel 10 years younger than when eating all those carbs and sugar.

[@davidrussell631]

I wouldn’t have added it either, since it never crisped up, and I don’t know why it didn’t. Guess just a combination of cooking so slow, water in pan, and cap being too thick.

[@dirtrider88]

4:22 that was real smart. unscrewing the ignitor right above burning coals when you knew it was going to leak.

[@Swizzenator]

Smoking is for the big boys. If you cant handle a small explosion then get out of the kitchen🤣
