I BBQ’d in a Blizzard- Here’s How It Went | Is This The Best Smoker For Cold Weather?

[@blumpk1n973]

Finally someone with balls who BBQ's with a foot of snow on the floor. I live in iowa and the winters are brutal but I still go outside with coveralls and some meat and smoke it!! Its nice I am not the only one!

[@Merricks_Meat]

Hell yeah man! No such thing as “bbq season” 💪🏼

This is the difference between a 2-5k offset smoker and a $199 offset smoker. People don't understand how the challenge of maintaining constant temperatures when you are dealing with cold temperatures. A cold wind is actually worse. There are very few year around BBQ restaurants in the northern part of the US and Canada. It can be done, but it's a far greater challenge. I live in Montana. I'd love to have an expensive, ⅜ steel offset smoker... Great post...

[@Merricks_Meat]

Couldn’t agree more my friend! It makes all the difference. Appreciate you watching! If you live in Montana….3/8 is a must!

Fellow New Englander (not native, Bills fan here from Buffalo) but I enjoy smoking and grilling all year round here in MA. Cheers bro, just subbed

[@Merricks_Meat]

Awesome man just subbed your page as well! Won’t hold the bills thing against you 😂. Always awesome to run into other BBQ fans up north!

[@georgehall2345]

I’m inspired 😀

[@dk9696]

Awesome real world demo of the Patriot Pits 120. Apparently, it performs as great as it looks! Subbed.

[@Merricks_Meat]

Awesome, thank you very much! It was a fun cook!

[@jamesmahoney1606]

Beautiful smoker. Subscribed

[@Merricks_Meat]

Thank you! If I can get back into editing mode, big surprise on the smoker front coming soon!

[@Mrhandfriends]

Great video !! Beautiful smoker !

[@Merricks_Meat]

Thank you very much! Lot of comments on the smoker lately- I’m probably going to do a quick walk thru video in the near future 👍🏼

[@jallen717]

I Love the bbq in a blizzard concept.

[@Merricks_Meat]

It was pretty peaceful out there in the quiet of the snowfall and the fire crackling! Won’t be my last time!

[@jallen717]

@Merricks_Meat I'll bet it was fun. You can stay warm tending the fire. Sounds great to me.

[@chrishough5834]

Go Pats!!!

[@Merricks_Meat]

Let’s gooo

[@georgehall2345]

Great Job In Snw😃😃👊🏿

[@Merricks_Meat]

Thank you!!

[@PlanktoniusRex]

Loving that smoker. I smoke more in winter than in summer. The summer heat in east Oklahoma is way worse than anything else and the humidity and bugs are miserable. I have no problems being out at 20 degrees, but others can have those 105-degree days. We celebrate the 4th with a cookout in January.

[@Merricks_Meat]

Thanks man! I lived in Oklahoma for 7 months when I was in the military at fort sill. always thought about retiring back out there. Bugs and humidity aside 😂

[@wardad5628]

Here in central western OK. almost into great smoking weather. Already had one long smoke.

[@toddpower4674]

Just got my first offset and lots of wood. Winter is coming soon, and i will be trying this also.

[@Merricks_Meat]

Heck yeah!

[@jameshundley8725]

Nice smoke on the pork belly those ribs looked awesome aswell

[@Merricks_Meat]

🙏🏼 Thanks for watching!

[@toddschultz7477]

Good stuff

[@Merricks_Meat]

Thank you! Was a good time!

[@VernBigDaddy]

Great Looking Rig. Love the counter weight to handle bar work. Like it! Lift kit and Golf Cart 12” wheels!

[@Merricks_Meat]

I wanted this on a Cart pretty bad just for the look initially but no way I could move it around the yard with how much it weighs. Not to mention bringing places to cook- I think you’re on to something!!!

[@harrybarker1408]

good vid dood!!!

[@Merricks_Meat]

Thank you! 🫡

[@BrandonCarder]

BTW that’s a sweet pit!

[@Merricks_Meat]

Thanks ! Love this thing!

[@Trumpetmaster77]

That’s a really good going smoker! New subscriber here!

[@Merricks_Meat]

Thank you! Much appreciated 🙏🏼

[@Two_Bit_Smoke]

New sub here! That’s a badass smoker, those ribs and pork belly looked fucking delicious! Those temps on the smoker from left to right were very even which is impressive!!! Smoke on, brother!

[@Merricks_Meat]

Thank you sir! Very much appreciated 👊🏼👊🏼

[@Jason315NY]

Nice looking bbq! Do they put some kind of seasoning on the outside of the pit too keep it from rusting?

[@Merricks_Meat]

Thank you! Yes I believe the finish is a coat boiled linseed oil. Surface rust is inevitable with it being exposed, but this thing wouldn’t rust through in 4 of my lifetimes! For the surface rust, I’ve just been spraying with pam before a cook and it does a decent job without wiping or scrubbing the outside of the pit

[@Jason315NY]

@@Merricks_Meat nice pit!!

[@BBQPITDOG]

That's a great smoker! Good job on those meats!!

[@Merricks_Meat]

Thank you sir! 🙏🏼 Absolutely love this pit!

[@LyftedDieSeL_Wv]

I have the workforce 1975T and as you said a quality smoker, makes all the difference in a cook well done, sir

[@Merricks_Meat]

Absolutely does! Thank you 🙏🏼
