Jeremy thank you so much for not only teaching me how to run and offset and cook an awesome brisket but most important being an awesome friend. You my friend are the BEST!

I just made my first brisket. Took over 40 hours. I did low Temps and kept all the fat on it following your video and another person's video who left everything on it... Blew everyone's mind on how delicious it was... I've never had anything better! Thank you

[@DZ4295DBW]

40hrs? Lol what

[@PWCVegas]

@DZ4295DBW sounds crazy... but yes smoked 180ish for 10 hours upped it at 200 for 6 hours Then 250 for 4 Then, I wrapped it for another 4 Rested it at 150 for 16ish hours Amazing

[@jrf9198]

Bro way to long you wasted pellets or wood. Cook hotter. Start at 225 then crank it up to 275. To finish

[@PWCVegas]

@jrf9198 probably... but I had work for most of it and it still came out as the best brisket I've ever had

[@brandonin_ny]

@@jrf9198you gotta be careful giving out general temps like that. Temps depend on the specific smoker and specifically what size it is. I have to cook with much lower temps on my backyard smoker than I do my 500g.

You two guys are my absolute favorite bbq KZbinrs. Seriously. Your commitment to experimentation and your humility stand out among the rest. In my opinion, you guys + Harry Soo are the best teachers. Thanks guys. Please do more content together.

[@RyanRYFA]

I like how Jeremy went from preaching (for years) about keeping a clean fire/smoke at all times, to now having "dirty smoke" on all his cooks! He knows he's a great cook but is humble enough to keep an open mind and willing to learn new things.

[@skfboiler]

Someone, please explain the concept of having dirty smoke now during this cook.

[@Brandon-yq1tm]

@@skfboiler after a few tests he found that having a dirty smoke at the beginning of a smoke or after wrapping doesn't negatively affect the taste of the meat.

[@kevinprzy4539]

what is dirty smoke? @@Brandon-yq1tm

[@BibleBreakout]

Jirby strikes again

[@BibleBreakout]

@@skfboiler”dirty smoke” is the white smoke that exists when wood initially burns. As wood blackens and dries the smoke becomes “blue”. White smoke increases the bitterness. The idea is overload with white smoke for the first 4 hours and then back off to reduce the bitterness while maximizing the smoke flavor.

[@bryanparsons7207]

Awesome colab and I love the more natural way Guga was talking and asking questions. I'd love to see more of this on both your channels

[@dallhoc2895]

Jeremy, have you tried the offset for smoke, and then the pellet grill for heat. I tried this this past summer in 112-degree Tx heat. It turned out great. I save wood and time with this method.

[@saaskwatch5537]

Way to talk about the fire without showing the fire. Amazing. Very educational! Good thing most of us already know how to lay a fire.

[@cjcoleman7372]

It would be nice to have you do some type of testing with smokers/grills that don't cost as much as a used car. I would love to have any of the high end smoker's, but those are really made for the competition guy (basically), retired and cooks couple of times a mth, or the look at what i have, guy. Sorry.. no offense. I feel that there are guys like myself who want a quality built and cool looking version in the $1000 +/- ballpark. The couple to few times a yr I cook but I still take it all seriously. I just looked, and this 1975 is a $4500 gril, and I won't spend that much for no more than I cook. To be clear, I am not knocking anyone who would, and it's not because I can't afford it. Trust me, I get why someone would, though.

[@TimvanHelsdingen]

Why do you put on the mean before making the fire? aren't you going to get a lot of white smoke which is going to influence the taste of your brisket? I always heard everywhere you need to wait for the blue smoke to put any meat on.

[@debbiep268]

I remember years ago, before wagyu was heard of, and English butchers were selling Wagyu steaks. it was slightly more expensive then the normal rib eyes I use to get, but was the same weight, plus I read the reviews and everyone was 5 star and people saying it was the nest steak ever. So tried it. it was just like this one with the marbling of fat all the way through. It was gorgeous. reallly melt in the mouth, and the flavour was really nice. Blew the rib eye out out of the way. Not long after it was discontinued. I cant afford the other Wagyu on the market. Btw, love guga and you have my sub now :)

[@donscott6431]

Had a lotta years cooking on a, really piece of s*•t, smoker, but I know it WELL. This is a “boxy” 250 gal. offset, bought from somewhere in Alabama. My BEST cook, using this dinosaur, is on an overcast and misty morning. (I LOOK for them). High humidity and heavy barometric pressure. Using post oak and cherry, I can obtain a medium PURPLE smoke trail from the stack. Really IS magic!! The smoke exits, then flattens out and disperses maybe 2 feet above the stack. MAN!! The first time I luckily ACHIEVED this.. Spoiled me, for life. Been working with this “burn” for almost 2 decades: the old offset had to go. It had “warped” more times than the Starship Enterprise😅😊😊 ONE thing I found out..ground moisture entering into the firebox, through the air inlets, matters; but barometric pressure goes hand-in-hand I gotta be some kind of crazy, but I SWEAR…… I do have iPhone videos, JUST to show my cook-buddies.. I’d say the look of that purple smoke, the barely visible mist entering into the firebox grate AND the early morning light is as close to “mystical” as you can get

[@josephcampbell007]

[@1NIGHTMAREGAMER]

time for a test what experiments can u do with offset

[@underourrock]

Great job. No surprise there given the quality of educator and judge there. Guga, check out ThermoWorks Billows and Signals devices. They work together to manage air flow on a fire. If you don't want to have to watch a smoker too closely there are very easy things you can do to make them more efficient, more automated, and maybe just tend to it 2 or 3 times during the day and once or twice at night on long cooks. With a few tweaks and tools you can make an offset smoker pretty convenient. Seriously: a few or more bricks act like thermal batteries storing heat and decreasing recovery time needed after opening the lid. I'd expect the quality of smoker you have to not need a stainless steel baffle over the firebox opening into the main smoker area, but if it doesn't already have one a 8 to 10" long stainless steel plate, bend the edge over 90 degrees, drill 3 or 4 holes, use stainless bolts and lock washers / nuts and bolt that plate over the opening going into the smoker.... It will push the heat to the middle and decrease the temperature gradient across the width of the smoker. I doubt this is needed on yours, but is a huge help to more consistent offset cooking. Being able to choke down the fire so that it has plenty of fuel but can't burn too fast means you'll have a very long lasting fire and only need a few pieces of lump charcoal or a new log very infrequently.

[@cuppasandpuppas]

Oh wow, no binder before seasoning! I thought that was a pretty necessary step. Learned something new today!

[@L.Scott_Music]

Some time ago I commented on Jeremy's channel that I'd love to see he and Guga get together. They probably had the idea already but, wow, this is great. So, this wish came true. Now to get the wish working on the lotto!
