[@HeavyMetalBarBQue]

What else can one ask for........the Mrs. was happy and You were happy! That was wild.....Doritos as a starter! Nice....a couple HMB techniques! :-) Hope you found them to be beneficial for your cook. Next time I wouldn't waste rub by putting it on the membrane if you are going to pull it. Another tip would be......don't leave the lid open longer than you have to. Get that lid Closed as fast as possible and even close your intake damper when opening the lid. Doing all that wrapping and prepping.......you had flames shooting out of the pit.......that's wasting fuel and temps had to be Spiking! No wonder the smaller rack was done so quick. Nice Coke glaze and the second rack was perfect! 👍 Thanks for mention Brother! Smoke On!

[@meatcranium4280]

Heavy Metal Bar-B-Que I mainly seasoned the meat on the back, but yeah I don’t need to put anything on the membrane. You are a Great BBQ MIND and you make a lot of sense with the water and leaving the membrane on, It makes a huge difference. I do need to keep the lid open as little as possible on these Barrel type cookers. I don’t really think of the spikes to Much cause the temps settle down rapidly. I knew the one rack would get done sooner because of its size, which was perfect for my wife, and the other allowed me to mail it perfectly. Overall I was extremely happy with this first cook at hanging Ribs. Thanks for the support and watching Brother. Metal On!!🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@sheilahtaylor3005]

Love you dropped Jesus(Yeshua) on everyone. What a blessing. 1st time viewing your channel. I learned SO MUCH! Those ribs looked MARVELOUS, Icould taste it...honestly. My mouth is watering ❤

[@grumpyfacebbq3916]

I hang ribs in my barrel house all the time and it is by far my favorite way, great flavor every time. Never lost a rack yet, and amazingly have never burnt them either; I do pull the membranes. I am still honestly shocked they do not burn, but there is something to the whole convection thing I guess. I have never thought of using coke as a glaze, may have to try it. I do like my sauces, so maybe a tough transition. Love the Doritos hack.

[@meatcranium4280]

GrumpyFace BBQ Thanks for the comment Brother. I am pretty shocked too. These were in the top 3 best ribs, possibly best ribs, I have ever made. DrPepper makes a phenomenal glaze too, and both are fantastic on chicken wings as well. Thanks for the support and watching Brother

[@TheRealJoeyB]

Both racks looked great, like them either way, liked the water only and pulling membrane of later, have never wrapped food while over the heat source, only after the cook...like the smoker as well...most chips have grease and can be lit for fire...so there ya go...

[@meatcranium4280]

The Real Joey B I haven’t seen you in awhile. This cooker is pretty awesome, and the Doritos hack was fun and makes sense, however most people don’t think of it. I am thinking simplicity is the way to go. Thanks for the support and watching Brother

Nice... I just can't pull the trigger on a barrel type cooker yet. But some of the Walmarts are already marking them down to $99. If one around me drops to that price I will be coking on a Bronco.. My wife loves them no bone ribs also. I joke and tell to go to McD's n get a McRibb. But I also know who butters my bread so 1 rack fall off the bone done... Great video. I like your no BS way of thinking...

Daddy Dutch BBQ I knes that Second one was going to be spot on. Thanks for the support Champ

[@tonyvisconti8018]

Hung my first two racks for lunch today. They came out fantastic!! Better than my stick burner hands down. Packed full of flavor and a slight crust all over from the rub and spritz. Spritzed with JB Apple Bourbon and smoked over lump, apple and cherry. Removed the membrane and they held on just fine. BTW, I double hooked each rib just in case. Two issues I've had with this cooker, a stubborn leak on the left side that tightening of hardware won't cure. Called Char Broil and they said to use a bit of sealer for BBQ's. They also offered a bag of hardware if I felt the screw was stripped. The other issue is my heat diffuser warping, so they're sending me a new one. Their customer service is top notch. Really liking this cooker and just may replace my horizontal stick burner for small gatherings.

[@meatcranium4280]

Awesome video, definitely trying the soda glaze. I'll say this, the first time I smoked ribs on a drum smoker it made me rethink how I've done ribs in the past. Drum smokers made some excellent ribs and it's so easy!

[@meatcranium4280]

Big Red's Outdoor Kitchen It is quite amazing how great the ribs turned out. The fact that I didn’t burn them was another surprise. The Coke glaze or Dr Pepper glaze is a must. Thanks for the support and watching Brother

[@robprator5890]

Big fan of your work. I have smoked a few times a week since a purchased the Bronco on April 1st. I just wanted to throw something out there... Tonight I ran out of wood chips when I was smoking some burgers and bacon, so I decided to clip a few sticks of fresh rosemary from my front yard. It was actually pretty damn good. Had the sweetness of mesquite, and was low maintenance as far as prep goes. If you have the opportunity, I highly recommend it

[@meatcranium4280]

Rob Prator Throw a onion in that bad boy as well. I have done the Rosemary thing as well, but by accident. Maybe I’ll do a video of alternative things to burn besides wood to get flavor. Thanks for the support and watching Brother

Doritos. Who knew? So what would be the difference between cooking them on the rack in the smoker and hanging them? Man those look good. Solid work sir!!!!

[@meatcranium4280]

Jaime Hyatt I can honestly say it would be a guess. I think the Fat dripping onto the coals gives an added flavor. It’s hard to describe, but hanging them produce a great product. Laying them on a rack doesn’t give the added benefit of the drippings onto the coals unless it’s in a Drum type Cooker. Thanks for the support and watching

[@jaimehyatt7977]

So I have a Weber Smokey Mountain and did my first rib cook on it last week. Came out very nice. I am going to invest in a rack that I can suspend ribs in that. The added benefit of more volume along with the elusive flavor benefit you talked about I am looking forward to. Thanks for the feedback.

I just pulled the trigger earlier tonight. Wal-Mart is on clearance right now at $184.00 plus tax with the fixed air intake tube. From what i gathered on the internet, people who got the Bronco in the shorter retail box (about 24" tall box) got the defected intake tube. Wal-Mart retail box is about 40" tall, and the drum body is already put together.

[@tonyvisconti8018]

Thanks for posting. Very informative as usual. Larger rack looked awesome. Love the mid-way through membrane pull hack. If you had to do 3 racks would you stack them when you hit the rap stage? Also, you mentioned the 4th line being somewhere about 350°-400°. Is there any way to achieve temps up around 500° for a couple pizzas? Hmmmm, would you consider doing a pizza video with the Bronco.

[@meatcranium4280]

Tony Visconti OMG what great questions. I think the bronco could achieve temps at 500 or more if the dampers were wide open, and or the lid was partially open for more airflow, you should then get a lot higher temps. I have not thought about making pizza on the bronco, however it is a great Idea. I would modify my rack and use another 18 inch rack to go on top with clearance. Thanks for the support and watching. Once again, awesome questions

[@tonyg.3696]

So between Coke and DP, which do you prefer? Can you tell the difference? I plan on trying this recipe, thank you for sharing.

Pork isn’t my favorite either, but it’s so simple to cook, however my favorite protein to eat is Seafood and fresh water game, including the Ducks that swim in it. Lol. Thanks for the support and watching Brother.

[@vanq884]

Thank you for your detailed run through of this cooker. I have been looking for a drum type to take on the road with me to the Moab and other destinations

[@meatcranium4280]

Brian Van Quaethem you are most certainly welcome. I’m glad to help. Thanks for the support and watching Brother.

[@Jules-sm6eb]

Look into the Weber Smokey mountain! It’s light weight and collapsible

[@meatcranium4280]

Jules that’s my favorite cooker that I don’t have. Lol. Does that make sense.🤔

[@Jules-sm6eb]

MeatCranium BBQ AND REVIEW I just got one myself lol it’s awesome but this bronco looks pretty cool I seen it at Lowe’s the other day

[@dalehelmstadter4871]

Doing this tomorrow. Thanks. How often do you use the deflector plate. I have the bronco pro.

[@meatcranium4280]

Dale Helmstadter I use it for everything but Beef and pork. I want the pro. I’m jealous. Lol

[@dalehelmstadter4871]

When if ever have you used the deflector plate. I lucked out and bought the pro in a Amazon auction for $140.

[@meatcranium4280]

Dale Helmstadter Damn your lucky

[@stephenranti173]

MC what size Oklahoma Joe is this the 18 or 22?? Thanks!

[@meatcranium4280]

Stephen Ranti This is the 18, I have hopes, dreams, and aspirations of getting a 22. Thanks for the support and watching Brother

[@stephenranti173]

Yeah, I couldn't believe the difference in pricing between the 2! I'm still trying to decide between one of the barrel cookers and a WSM. If I had the $$ I think I would get a Humphrys Weekender!

[@meatcranium4280]

Stephen Ranti I haven’t seen that one yet. I need to look it up. There’s a huge difference between the 22 and 18

I don't own an OKJ Bronco, but do own a BHC, I always remove the membrane before I hang the ribs and have never had any issues. How strong are those rib hangers? How many racks of ribs would you do at one time? I like the coke glaze.

[@meatcranium4280]

Russyl Royer that Coke glaze works amazing on chicken wings as well. I don’t know how many Ribs the racks can hold, however the racks are very sturdy. I have a BHC as well, but it’s heavily modified, I haven’t done ribs in them yet however I would imagine they would come out similar to these. Thanks for the support and watching Brother.

[@stewpidasso288]

A like and a comment to help the channel.

[@meatcranium4280]

Stew Pidasso I do appreciate the support Brother

[@marathon1951]

Seasoned the OKLA Joe Bronco this Am. The factory thermometer and my bluetooth remote read 50-60 degrees difference when they were 2/3 inches apart 1,2 hours in with the lid closed. But I later did the boil test looking for 212 degrees and they were identical. anyone with any thoughts, or know what I am missing? thanks...BTW,, great looking ribs.i

[@meatcranium4280]

Steve C I appreciate it. It takes the temps gauges a little while to get calibrated. If you got it this quickly your doing Good. I have seen 3-4 cooks before the temp gauges will react accordingly. You are going to love this Cooker. Thanks for the support and watching Brother

[@stevehei8035]

Also cook around 225-230 degrees low and Slow

[@meatcranium4280]

Steve Hei If I go between 0 and 1 I could probably get those 225ish temps, but I rarely cook anything less than 250. Thanks for the support and watching Brother

[@jakeunger5996]

You mentioned where you set the intake to get certain temps. Where do you have your exhaust temp set? Is it wide open all the time or do you vary it depending on what temp you want. I’m having a hard time maintaining temp.

[@meatcranium4280]

Jake Unger generally the exhaust is open all the way. Temps can take up to 30 minutes to react to a change in the intake/exhaust, be patient and don’t chase temps. Another factor is your elevation, higher the elevation, the more air flow is needed. I have adjusted my exhaust from time to time but generally it remains 3/4- fully open. I hope this helps. Thanks for the support and watching Brother.

[@handcannon1388]

That was interesting. I had never heard of just reducing a pop (probably a soda down there) for a glaze; though I did make some Cheerwine BBQ Sauce that incorporated cherry soda into the other ingredients. I think I would rather eat the Doritos than build a fire with them; though I'm not surprised that they burn well. Along those lines, if you are lacking a long-reach match to, say, light a pilot light or a gas lantern - try using a piece of uncooked spaghetti - same principle. The ribs looked great, but it looks like your place has a bbq gremlin. At least she's happy; that's always a good thing. Have a great week.

[@meatcranium4280]

handcannon My bbq Gremlin steals Q from me all the time. The spaghetti thing is good to know. That glaze is amazing on chicken wings. Thanks for the support and watching Brother

[@jonathancarrion3982]

Can you teach us to hang ribs on the WSM . I’m having trouble with how much charcoal to use . I’m doing it in the cold weather . From Connecticut .

[@runescapeMadnesskill]

What are you usinjg to track the temperature with that app?

[@meatcranium4280]

Austin .S the Ink Bird. Thanks for the support and watching

[@BabyDiego10599]

Great video and those ribs looked great! I noticed you didn’t use the diffuser. Any reason why? I just bought one of these Broncos and I’ll be hanging some ribs too. I usually use the 3-2-1 method so I’ll probably have to finish them in the oven since I can’t fit 3 racks of ribs back in the Bronco in foil. Keep grilling!

[@meatcranium4280]

Vincent Rodriguez the Ribs are too long and will hit the diffuser, and as the ribs cook the drippings fall on the coals and give and added flavor. The ribs will shrink enough that you should have no problem, wrapping and placing on the rack. I hang brisket too, I only use the diffuser when I’m not wrapping. Thanks for the support and watching Brother.

[@BigLou956]

Those ribs look fantastic brotha... The look 👀 you gave your wife when she was picking on your rib🤣🤣

[@meatcranium4280]

Luis Palomo LOL!! She almost pulled back a nub. Thanks for the support and watching Brother

[@jonathancarrion3982]

Now we know what to do when they get stale

[@meatcranium4280]

Jonathan Carrion glaze um.

[@marksgarlata3387]

What pot are you using to put it at the bottom? I have the same smoker if you use the one that it shows with the hook it has no bottom how do you get it down there

[@meatcranium4280]

mark sgarlata I’m not quite following you. I’ve read your comment 3 times, and it makes no sense. Sorry, it’s probably me overthinking.

[@zeebass2690]

Could you cut the racks in half.so that you could use the diffuser?

[@mishapesic9323]

Not sure if anyone asked this but whats the lowest temp you can go without putting the fire out? Just wondering if it can go around the 150 mark like the WSM i have seen. Looks like a decent smoker

[@meatcranium4280]

Misha Pesic Great question; I haven’t gotten it that low, however I have got it to around 175-200 and I do that by getting everything up to temp, top vent full open , intake at the half mark, watch temp, then make adjustments like moving the top vent, you should be able to get 150. Thanks for the support and watching.

[@mishapesic9323]

@@meatcranium4280 thank you so much for the reply. really considering this smoker. and around 200 is a good temp for what i am looking for. thanks again for the review.
