Does size really matter? Well, let's run a few test and find out....
In an offset smoker, the fire creates the heat, but the smoke stack is engine of airflow. If it's too short, too narrow or too small, it hinders the smoker's ability to create good convection. Join me as we seek to find a way to improve the airflow, convection and use of a $400 Old Country BBQ Pits Pecos with the help of a $12 piece of stove pipe and a clamp.
Stove Pipe - $11.98 from Lowe's Hardware

I did this mod to my Pecos after watching your video and it worked out great. Not only were my temps more "even" across the grate but I also never had an issue with "dirty smoke". Every time I got ready to add a stick it just lit right up and carried on no problem. I was even able to shut the door and I had more control over the temperature without "dirty smoke". I think Old Country BBQ should seriously consider extending this stack on future models. Thanks for making this video!

Fantastic video! I bought the newest version of the Brazos called the Brazos DLX. Big brother to the Pecos. Installed 2 tell-tru thermometers at grate level. First burn was to season and check for leaks and I had a lot of leaks. Got them seal up but noticed the same temperature differences you experienced. I struggled to smoke a chicken on it. I did the stack extension just like you and made another test run yesterday morning. I was amazed at the even temperature distribution. I used a digital probe for the middle section and was seeing less than 5 degrees difference across all 3 probes. I fired it up yesterday afternoon and smoked a chicken and it was perfect. I did find that building and maintaining a good coal bed was critical to minimizing temp swings. I'm now ready to try a longer smoke, maybe move up to ribs. Thanks for this video and all your effort!

Very insightful and helpful. I too have a Brazos DLX and this is just the ticket to even temps that I’ve been trying to achieve. I did remove the baffle first thing and that helped then I slid the tuning plate over in place of the baffle and its a perfect water pan spot. Thanks man. Keep up the good work.

Recently purchased a Old Country Wrangler. Noticed that there wasn’t enough draft. So after watching your video, I copied your extension to pipe. Added additional 6 inches and pit now works great. Thanks
@ThomasBrucefye
@ThomasBrucefye 3 жыл бұрын
Damn good video. I like explaining the draft by saying the gravity from the earth is pulling down all the air, that's how we get air pressure. Since the hot air is less dense, the cold air gets pulled down past it. Keeping the hot air in the pipe keeps it from spreading out into the ambient air and makes a pressure drop, the longer you make the pipe, the bigger difference in pressure you get up to a point.

Don’t worry about having a perfect finished product, there’s something about learning along with you that’s super helpful. Watching Franklin is great, but everything he’s going to show is perfect... I’d rather see someone who is starting out and is showing what works and doesn’t work because that’s more helpful for beginners. I’ll be expecting an awesome brisket video very soon!

Another factor to consider is that the air draw depends on the temperature. You cant have it balanced for both 200 and 400. I use extended stack, drilled-through baffle and a water pan (even empty) and I move the pan depending on my temperature. I end up with short hotspot close to chamber entry (where I dont cook) at high temps and nicely even distribution at lower temps.

Removed the baffle plate, insulated firebox w/ firebricks, and extended the stack 16” as per your recommendation…. WOW! The draw on this thing is amazing. I’ve been cooking on this thing almost every weekend since February. After the modifications it has made fire management so much easier. The fire burns longer per piece of wood and the temp is much more controllable and steady. This has greatly improved the functionality of this smoker. Thank you!!

You’ve got a new Subscriber. Great job on the video. Just bought a Pecos 2 weeks ago. It’s my first true offset. First thing I did was add the stack extension, I added 16” to the stock stack height. Have you trimmed your stack height down or are you still running at the same height? I found that in order to stay around that 220-230 mark I had to dampen the stack quite a bit because it just wanted to run way too hot on the stack side. I managed to run a clean fire but it just seemed to me that I was having to run the fire really small. Any thoughts?

So I’m 6 hours into a cook. The hot side definitely flipped to the stack side of the box. I’ve noticed that running with the door completely close the increased velocity of air through the fire box will pull the temps up quickly on the stack side of the box. At about 1/4 to 1/2 open I’ve gotten the best ignition on new logs. My brisket temp has come up steady at 159 last time I checked. I’m running around 275 to 270 as a target. I’ve had highs in the 280’s and then slowly settle back down adding wood when I hit 265. This has certainly changed the air flow. I want to try a little shorter to see if that holds temps across the chamber even better. Right now I’m at 34 inches with a 40 inch cook chamber. Great cheap mod to play with.

Ok, I gave this a run today on my new Brazos. Like any good experiment, it needs to be able to be reproduced. The control was much like you would expect, hotter at the fire and cooler across the grate. I had a 25-30 degree temp difference. I added the full 24 inch pipe which did switch the highest temp to the stack side of the chamber. With the chamber being 40" wide, taking off 6" put it at the right proportions to the cooking chamber. This did level out quite a bit, but the fire burned very dirty with the door closed, and with it open, the temps ramped up quickly. Now a note, I believe some of the pieces of B&B post oak splits I used were retaining quite a bit of moisture. And the splits were pretty big and nearly impossible to cut down due to being so wet. So I feel I'll need to repeat, but I did the the temps level out across the grate when I was able to control the fire with the right amount of fuel. Also my OC thermometer was reading about 25 degrees LOW compared to my electronic probes, which tells me I probably have a bum thermometer. I'll repeat this to gather more data.

For me this was a the game changer. I was saving the money for a brazo now there up to 1199 from 999 but if I can do this much with the pecos and and enjoy the science and food then this is the video that made it for me. Thank you

Well, I will tell you it’s not full proof. You can watch my first Brisket cook video on the Pecos and see what I mean. It may require additional mods. Thanks for watching! I appreciate your support!

Very cool! Be sure to see my baffle removal video. The extensions did improve airflow, but consequently left a hot spot in the left of center which burned the underside of my brisket. The removal of the baffle solved that problem.

@@RaleighSmoke Thanks, I've got a LSG, so no baffle, but now I'm curious about stack length. Haven't had any real issues with draw/draft, but good info to have anyway.

Great video!! Now I’m in California and can’t get myself an old country bbq, so I’m stuck with modding a big box smoker for now. This is great information and I appreciate you putting the work in to test. Maybe I’ll order a pecos and pay the shipping

Thank you sooo much for making this video!! I did this mod with my Char-griller XD. I love my smoker but this was definitely an improvement. I have a 5" inch stack. I made it so I could slide the tube for tuning. My smoke chamber is 40" so I have my stack 36-40". You can actually here the fire roaring. Splits light quicker and fire burns cleaner!

Great video. I had an Old Country Brasos which is essentially the same smoker, just thicker walls.I got the same concerns from Franklin's book. I'm totally sold on your solution. I have already located a section of stove pipe at my local Home Depot. Will try to get this installed this weekend.

Thank you so much for this video! I have this exact smoker that needed a firebox rebuild. I built it huge compared to stock and it seemed to do really well as far as temp throughout the cook. My problem is draw. The stack looked like a dang freight train as it was smoking but when I opened the firebox door the smoke choked me because there wasn’t enough draw I’m thinking. I’ll add some pipe and see what happens!

Dude this is fantastic! I've got a Lyfe Tyme that's VERY similar to the pecos, I'm gonna give this a shot. Way cheaper than a tuning plate, and I've also questioned the tuning plates. Can't wait to give it a shot
