Is the Goldees Offset the BEST Smoker on the Market?

[@AntsBBQCookout]

Additional Notes: - I just learned that the Franklin Pit's cost includes shipping, It cost me $500 to have the Goldee's smoker shipped to my house, so the price gap is closer. - Brisket cook will be out next week (So subscribe pls!) Hope you guys enjoyed this review, it feels good to be back at home cooking again. I haven't cooked in my backyard in almost 6 months! I'll be back on the road early next month shooting the next BBQ Story in NC, but it was nice to stop off at home and cook like the old days. If you guys enjoy this content, then please like, share it and subscribe! That way I know I should make more of these types of videos! BBQ Story featuring Bar-A-BBQ in Montgomery will come out first week of November, so stay tuned!

When I saw this pit I redesigned my current pit and this design works incredible. It looks like one of these but smaller amazing design!

[@AntsBBQCookout]

Yeah man, Jonny and the Goldees guys are really out of the box thinkers

[@edsmileytube]

This is absolutely the best independent review of the Goldees pit! The is an evolutional step compared to conventional offset pits. Great coverage of pros and cons to allow people to decide if this is the one for them. I would think that if you are spending this amount of cash, there would be no reason not to go with the Goldees pit.

[@AntsBBQCookout]

Appreciate it, Ed! I'm with you, at that price point I think Goldees is the one. The only other one I'd suggest is the workhorse because of the crazy value at under $3k

[@edsmileytube]

@@AntsBBQCookout Absolutely. The workhorse seems to be the unicorn from a pricing perspective. In my opinion, that evolutionary step of this smoker sets it apart.

[@oldcityoutdoors]

Interesting review. Although I have a good Shirley Fab offset, this was informative. Interestingly enough...you should give the Shirley Fabrication 94 gal traditional offset a look. It answers your every con and lower price point than the two you mentioned here. Been enjoying your channel's content for a few topics. Thanks for taking the time.

I talk about my setup and also the experience in the brisket cook video, but it's super easy. The pit maintains temps super well. First brisket I cooked took 12 hours (thinking of dropping a short on that cook) second one (vid out next week) was 14ish and both times it was chill

Great review and comparison video. Haven't used a smoker and your approach gives people the info they need to know about those smokers so they can make an informed decision. I understand more about an offset smoker now and some of their features. (build qualities) Finding out on your own is why people have had 8 different smokers (and not knowing how to use them or what they're good for) so I would love to see what's best for the novice that's not going to a competition on the weekends. To me from what I seen a cabinet smoker seems to be an easier pit to master but I haven't spent big money on a smoker yet so.. Nice video anyway, stay cool!

I think it's great! It's just a small version of their big offset which runs amazing. So I'm sure the backyard model will be awesome too I know it will be more expensive though. I can't remember exact numbers but I think estimate is between 5-6k

[@eleasartoledo7866]

@@AntsBBQCookout thanks for the info. Did it had their style heat deflector like how they have on there bigger models?

[@AntsBBQCookout]

yeah, the bypass between the firebox and cookchamber? If it's that, it was a smaller down scale. It was just the prototype though, so I don't know if theyll change it or if it works as good as the big offsets. We didn't fire it up.

Question, do you think that the Pipe going from the Firebox to the Smoker has potential to loose a lot of heat during cold or rainy weather. Great video.

[@lonestarsmoked]

Glad I found this video. I'm honestly impressed with the smoker

[@finishwizard111]

Thanks for your input on this. Unrelated question. Is your 250 a primitive? Thanks

[@thebiffer100]

The first thing I noticed on that elbow joint from the firebox into the cook chamber was that there must be a tremendous heat loss making this too inefficient to run especially if it is used in the northern climates. Another potential issue is the pipe exhaust into the cook chamber is concentrated and could use a diffuser of some sort to tame temperatures spilling onto the grate. One could say you can wrap that elbow joint in an insulated fiberglass sleeve to preserve precious heat. Yes, unique design as a conversation piece however all the other traditional "tankers" do not employ that method for a reason I am sure. Love to hear your comments.

[@frank_osuna]

This design works amazingly well. Only thing that would make it better is rounded ends by the smoke stack and firebox by the elbows. That would help eliminate the hot spot in the cook chamber and allow better smoke travel up the elbow exchange. Great job showcasing it.

Thanks Ant. Hope those smoke leaks disappear once you get some more cooks in the books. FYI the Franklin pit at 5k includes shipping whereas the Goldees does not. Anywhere outside of Texas that makes this more expensive (not discounting its larger). Edit - saw your pinned comment

[@AntsBBQCookout]

I run my fire super smoky first few hours and damper at 25%. Once I get it rolling in the later stages of the cook there's no smoke coming out of the cook chamber :)

[@smokescouts]

@@AntsBBQCookout Some smoke leakage isn’t a big deal at all. On my 1975, I close the stack damper 2/3 and it’s a huffing puffing machine with some smoke coming out the doors, grease drain, and firebox door. I can make brisket as good as I’ve had in Texas running it like that, but not so much when I was running it stack wide open with extremely fast airflow with no smoke leakage.

[@AntsBBQCookout]

I feel like a lot of smokers are putting effort to redirect that front blast of hot air coming from the fire box recently. Makes me feel justified with my cheap Old Country smoker where I kept the baffle plate, but put a piece of foil a few inches after the baffle to ramp the air back up. I need to do a biscuit test at some point to see if it actually helped even the temps, or if it's just in my head...

[@bodeine454]

I can't help but believe that there's a way to eliminate or almost eliminate the hot spot in front of the heat/smoke entry point but I'm not a smoker designer. Still, I would like to experiment with different entry baffle designs and possibly add pieces of steel/shields in other areas if needed to try to more even out the flow of heat at that point. I have a couple welders and metal cutting tools so this would probably be something I would attempt if I had one of these high end backyard smokers. If none of my attempts worked as hoped I could always cut out the added pieces and go back to the original design. I would look at it as a challenge since it seems to be one of those things that hasn't been perfected yet. Also, if I had the Goldee's smoker I'd cut the smoke stack at a reasonable height in order to push it into a storage place/garage and fabricate a hinge and weld it on so that the stack could be folded. Many welders are affordable these days and while the cheaper ones most likely couldn't weld 1/4 inch steel for structural purposes I'm sure they'd be plenty good enough to add the things I've mentioned. I'd also fabricate and add a shelf on the front while I was at it.

[@AntsBBQCookout]

That would be interesting! Yeah wish it had foldable stack or like a bolted removable one.

[@chriscarter7182]

This can easily extend into a very overly long winded reply! I am also in the process of rebuilding my burned out smoker. it's only 30ish years old and is pretty much burned out on the fire pit. I've seen the Goldeez and really like the concept. The one thing that really frustrates me is all of these smokers have the opening to the end on the right hand end. I am going to rotate my fire pit so the opening is to the front, and instead of using an elbow, I am making a rectangular duct, for the throat, from the fire pit into the cooking side. I do expect to need to install future deflectors, but I won't know for sure until I have my first fires. I will continue this later, "more on the news at 11:00".

I know the sns insert is useful, but if I can buy that for $100 and throw it in a webber, I'd still be saving money. let me know what you think

Does it cook as good as your 250 (or like a larger pit)? From what Jeremy says, the Franklin and Fatstack pits cook like larger offsets, providing a restaurant quality product. What are your thoughts? Gonna do a comparison with your 250?

[@AntsBBQCookout]

I cooked with them side by side for an event last Tuesday. And it ran noticibly better. I think it's because of the stack, the stack is the same width but taller on the goldees so the draw is nuts. Even at 25% closed damper it was rolling beautifully. Holds temps way better too. I think people are gonna be blown away by the brisket cook that I'll post next week. This smoker is amazing, I love it.

[@davidchavarria2992]

@@AntsBBQCookoutThanks for the insight. Not to belabor the point, but did the briskets taste comparable? I’m asking because I’m really curious as to how airflow affects quality. This seems to be a different cooking style than Franklin, so there’s much to be investigated prior to dropping nearly 5 grand after shipping. Thanks again man.

[@AntsBBQCookout]

You can run this pit like a Franklin. Just open the damper and the door. The design just gives you more capacity in that "golden convection space" in the cooker. It would just take way longer to cook since the heat would be rushing passed the brisket. The damper let's you keep the hot smoke in the cook chamber cooking it faster and giving you insane color. It's almost like turning it into a less hot version of a cabinet smoker if that makes sense.

[@davidchavarria2992]

@@AntsBBQCookout Very interesting. I appreciate you sharing your knowledge. Do you think you’ll use this more than your 250?

It's not subjective, Cost - Goldees, capacity - Goldees, controllability - Goldees, attention to detail - Goldees I am sure when you order the pit you can upgrade the wheels, a shelf and a foldable stack. Even if the price becomes comparable to franklin's the goldees pit is still better.

[@brisketwizard8004]

Cool pit design and great review. But I don't think you're giving Aaron Franklin the credit he deserves for his design. He built it so that you can't (hopefully) screw up a cook by playing with the stack damper and the firebox door adjustments. Just maintain temps with good fire management, as Jeremy stated in his comparison video,. On my Moberg 250, the area closest to the firebox is the coolest area unless I crank it up to 300 -350 degrees to finish a cook or to smoke chicken. You (and others) should review the Moberg backyard pit. #gottagetamoberg.

[@AntsBBQCookout]

I said those exact things in the video. It's a beginner friendly design. Just the franklin and the goldees are dummy proofed like that. It's a positive feature for beginners. I would love to man, I have no biases towards any smokers, I'd review them all if I had them.

[@excaluber23]

Nice video as always Ant! And a great review of the pros and cons, thanks for that. What gives the Goldees more capacity than the TMG? The TMG cooking grate is 52”x27” where it looks like the Goldee is 50”x24”. Or are you doing something like factoring their hotspots into the equation? Either way, it seems like it’s probably close.

[@AntsBBQCookout]

Thanks man! The TMG capacity was solely based on Mad Scientists comments in his review. Im guessing thats because of the hot spots? But I have seen the vollunteer in person at TMG, and that thing is a monster. It's noticeably bigger than the goldees pit if I remember correctly.
