[@rmccauley78]

Your daughter is the sweetest!! Thanks for sharing your cooking skills. God bless!

[@SDSBBQs]

Thank you so very much!

[@CuffNStuffBBQ]

It’s nice to know your smoker well enough that you can get some rest and trust that it’s going to do what it supposed to !

[@SDSBBQs]

Oh yes... but Vicky and I have come to an understanding over a great deal of time and many... many hours of fussing and frustration.

[@DeadBrokeBBQ]

I am such a big fan of Vicki!! Real soon I will a vertical pellet smoker and I am so excited to just have that extra space to do big cooks finally! I really just want to smoke the weeks food for the family and stop having to use to cookers all the time! I am filming on one cooker and in the garage another one is running something else sometimes and that is food for the family during the week! But someday I will have a nice vertical that runs on wood and charcoal!! The hinges look great brother!!

[@SDSBBQs]

Thank you Sir... She still has her limitations but man I tell you there is something about being able to cook 75-80% of the things I need in a convenient cooker. I am looking forward to seeing what you could do with a vertical smoker! Thanks man for watching.

[@TaylorsFSCooking]

I always enjoy watching your process, nice video bruh

[@SDSBBQs]

Thank you Sir!

[@blackhornet25]

Always enjoy your videos that show you lighting the fire on the larger smokers. It appears like the shelves still have remnants of a previous cook. Do you clean them beforehand?

[@SDSBBQs]

I do scrape them clean and get the big debris off but I didn't steam them clean this time. I deep clean the smoker about once a month.

[@trevor69er59]

Really enjoyed this!

[@SDSBBQs]

Thanks for watching and commenting 🙂

[@cedricoubre6120]

Nice !! Can' t wait for the follow up .

[@SDSBBQs]

Thanks, Next video will be uploaded on Thursday!

[@bigstevessmokemchokembbq8746]

I use that same set up...charcoal for heat and wood chunks for flavor. Do you get white smoke(not thick)but light and steady(not thin blue)? If so is that coming from charcoal igniting? Or lack of oxygen?

[@SDSBBQs]

I think more so that is from the charcoal getting lit... any thin white smoke dissipates rather quickly.

[@MamaRayRayInTheKitchen]

This has been the best video I’ve ever seen on barbecue Vicky must be awesome to your life you can actually put your food on and get some rest this was very awesome to watch which was an amazing video and thank you for sharing keep having fun grilling and I will keep watching your channel you have an awesome channel hear BBQ

[@SDSBBQs]

Thank you so very much for watching, unfortunately I didn't get back to sleep that morning but the option is there at times.

[@MamaRayRayInTheKitchen]

Brother all I know is that I love the video that’s like a viral video to me to see something grilling like that was absolutely especially the chicken wings amazing for me thank you again for sharing such an awesome video one day I will have a Vickie that absolutely phenomenal

[@GrumpusOnFire]

Vicky seems to be a real work horse. Very efficient getting all that meat to fit. But, aren’t you afraid your brisket will taste like chicken? Hahahahaha… just getting my jab in at other comments! You are absolutely correct in your reply. Oh… is it too late to place a wing order for a party on Nov 4th? Imma gonna need a mess of wings… right wings only please...! 😂😂😂

[@SDSBBQs]

She really is, such a solid cooker. The size restrictions can be a gift and a curse at times. As you can see I have to get creative at times. November 4th... Right wings... Hmm... that might be a little tough BWAH! I've never had anyone say the brisket tasted like chicken, LOL. Thanks Grumpus for watching and about that comment... LOL I'm not worried at all and thanks for confirming that I was right.

[@CookingwithStephennJacklyn]

Aye yoooooo Dash! Two things are you using a new camera, cause video seems to be much better and the second thing don't for get to,paint the hinges. Big cook right there waiting for pt2 and you know I love me some wings . You and the family have a wonderful week and stay safe. Cheers!

[@SDSBBQs]

No not a new camera... the lighting in my garage is amazing. All LED lights in my garage and it shows. I noticed it too... when I am on the side of the house it's dimmer and not nearly as bright. Especially at night and there is no sunlight to fight the light in the garage. Thank you Sir... I will be working on the edit for part 2 tomorrow, so it can go up on Thursday! Wishing you and your family the same, thanks again as always.

[@victorbenner539]

Glad you did a vid on Vicky this week. Your reasoning for using Vicky was the primary reason I made my final decision to go with the insulated vertical smoker myself. That thing call " sleep ". So happy to see you opening and closing the doors with ease,very nice. And I'll join in the fun. Paint those hinges 😄 . Lastly, you should have dug up your sweet potatoes by now. Despite the deer issues I was wondering how you did? I expect you still got some. Oh, and congratulations, I understand your Eagles are now the top team in their conference over the Cowboys. And the Seahawks are #1 in our conference, although we have only lost one game so far 😁 . Just ribbing you. Still WAY to early in the season. Have a great day. (Still can't believe that one fellow said what he said about the placement of the chicken) Oh hell, one last thing really. You said you had more " right wings" then " left wings". I thought we agreed to always keep politics off this channel? Sorry, couldn't help myself 😆😅🤣.

[@SDSBBQs]

So... since I can I am going to address this first... I was cracking up at the right wing left wing thing while I was editing this video. So yes I wanted to get some sleep but did I... nope. By the time things got going I was up and there was no point in trying to get back to sleep, it was a VERY long day. This cook was for 2 different events and the second was a party I was attending. I've usually waited until the first frost to pull the potatoes to give them the most time to gorow as possible but I will be pulling them this week most likely. Thanks for the reply on those comments... some people think they can say anything and deem it constructive criticism. Ugh... Anyway... yes the Eagles are doing well in our division and that's all I have to say about that, LOL. Thanks as always for watching and commenting!

[@victorbenner539]

@@SDSBBQs so I'm very happy I gave you something to chuckle about. The moment I what you said about the chicken 🐔 I knew what I was going to say. Hell, it practically wrote itself. About the idiot who made that poor comment, we truck drivers have a old saying " everyone is 10 foot tall on the CB". These folks would never talk this way to one's face. They are petty little cowards. The great news is you have a lot of great viewers. Now about the sweet potatoes. I have not grown them before but with my horticulture background and every thing I checked out how others did ( mostly the homesteading folks) first frost works. Most wait until the vines start to die back,kinda like regular potatoes. And they have been harvesting the last 2 weeks so I figured you might have. Im looking forward to us a little garden throw down on the sweet potatoes. It would be great to get others in on the action. Kind of like when Justin of BBM did with trick my bbq. Starting with getting the folks to even start their own slips from the potatoes ( it looks REAL easy and cheap) ok I gotta go, I'm going on a bit to long as normal, later.

[@brickeyj123]

Great video I will start watching more of your videos.

[@SDSBBQs]

Thanks in advance! Hope to see you more in the comments of past and future videos.

[@BBQJOE]

I know it's not a big deal to prop the door open but have you tried leveling the smoker..? If my mobile smoker isn't perfectly level my doors will act up. Oh and don't forget to paint the hinges.. Great video dash..

[@SDSBBQs]

LOL... glad it's not just me and if I turned the smoker in a different direction it wouldn't be an issue but I had it that way for filming purposes. Thanks for the reminder!

[@roelgarza3870]

Add a little more space by wrapping wing tip around wing drum

[@SDSBBQs]

So I like cooking them open like that be cause they cook better. When you fold them, when unfolded they look almost raw.

[@Geile_Currywurst]

Hey Dash. I am looking for a good vertical smoker I can use to cook with splits like my offset. Any recommendations?

[@SDSBBQs]

[@enyceofnyc]

Super helpful. You and DSki Grillz both suggested LSG so I think I'm going to go with that. I hope I can find one locally and skip the wait!

[@chillz0052]

Don’t forget to posting the hinges 😄

[@SDSBBQs]

Good looking out ... thanks!

[@markn2904]

Does the quantity of meat you cook impact the overall cook time?

[@SDSBBQs]

Don't think so... I think the size of the meat has WAY more to do with it than the difference between choice or prime brisket.

[@joearispe775]

Looks great, but all that chicken is going to drip onto the brisket? Will that take some of the flavor away from the brisket, or add flavor to it?

[@SDSBBQs]

I haven't had ANY complaints either way about the chicken being over the brisket. IMHO it helps but who knows.

[@ALCAM001]

Is that a homemade smoker of can you buy them? It's a weapon! Love it!

[@SDSBBQs]

It's homemade.

[@karljones136]

Hi, yours is the first smoker I've seen that uses water too. Is there a big difference with having water in your smoker?

[@SDSBBQs]

I believe so. It really helps keep the temp even and also adds moisture to the food while it's cooking.

[@karljones136]

@@SDSBBQs thanks for the reply. I'm just building my own 👍

[@firegrillin365]

Thanks!

[@timpetherick6696]

What temp were you cooking at?

[@SDSBBQs]

The top of the smoker was running closer to 300 while down at the bottom near where the brisket was it was closer to 250 or so.

[@dsquebackyardbbq217]

Hey, paint your hinges fam 😁 It must be really nice being able to repair things as needed. Way to arrange to maximize space. It felt like I was watching a puzzle. My big question of the day... Disregard cooking capacity. Who you going with? Vicky or Bernadette?

[@SDSBBQs]

Thanks for the reminder, it is except the repairs are most often at the worst times, LOL. I am really good at Tetris, but don't have the patience for puzzles. Prob rocking with Vicky, I've cooked and put WAY mo re fires on that cooker and I "know" how it cooks.

[@jscott09js]

Let’s be honest you used Vicki to show off those new hinges! 😂

[@SDSBBQs]

BWAH, I swear that wasn't my intention lol 😂

[@venezuelanchef]

Great videos. Love what you do. Only one constructive criticism. For food safety reasons you should never cook chicken on top of any other food. You run the risk of contaminating the other food with salmonella.

[@SDSBBQs]

This is such a common misconception that I promise to do a full blown video on it. Cross contamination is when you have raw food that can / does come in contact with ready to eat foods that are not cooked. When you are cooking both meats and especially when the beef in this case has a higher finishing temperature than the chicken there's no problem. The point is to get rid of bacteria and make sure the food is cooked to safe temps. When you do that you kill all bacteria.

[@csl9495]

Wow... a damn flame thrower haha

[@SDSBBQs]

Indeed you too need to get yourself one!

[@sirthames]

​@@SDSBBQs what is the name of that flame thrower again? You reviewed it when you got it but I cannot find the video. I got one of the long handled deals from the big box store. But it's too big. Thanks.

chicken dripping on the brisket🤔🤫im just sayin

[@SDSBBQs]

When the brisket has a higher finishing temp than the chicken... the brisket will cook way longer and anything that would drip on the brisket from the chicken will be cooked off and killed germ wise. So Yup... chicken over beef.

[@barackjohnson9926]

And thats your theory... try that at any professional establishment and you probably won't do that again....have you ever taken a food safety class might want to invest into that before you cook chicken again. NEVER EVER CROSS CONTAMINATE CHICKEN WITH NO OTHER FOOD ,ROOKIE MISTAKE IF YOU ASK ME.
