The Old Country BBQ Pits Over and Under 1 Year Update

[@EddieWrightBBQ]

-- There is nothing like a great used pit. The character this unit has is amazing. You have truly used it and it shows. The integrity of the metal and paint is solid. And furthermore, thank you for not polishing it up. Shows the natural essence of a grill. Its not always going to look showroom ready when its used consistently. Keep rolling smoke brother

[@CharlieMaveric]

My man!! Yeah. I thought about polishing it up for the video but I was like man, I gotta cook right after this video so naw!! Lol. I super appreciate your comment, big homie 💪🏿👊🏿🔥

[@TDubb-BBQ]

Great review! You left no corner unturned and kept it 💯💯

[@CharlieMaveric]

Thanks man. I plan to keep this out around for a long time.

[@BigLewBBQ]

Thanks for the info. This is one I’ve had my eye on for a while.

[@CharlieMaveric]

I say go for it. No matter the conditions, you can figure out a way to crank good food out with this thing.

[@OutdoorsWithGeoff]

Great review Charlie! That pit is getting good use and this is a thorough review that gives an honest review on a good cooker. 👍🏾 Keep that content coming bro.

[@CharlieMaveric]

Glad you enjoyed it my man! Hell if it wasn’t for your recommendation, I wouldn’t have found this one. 👊🏿👊🏿✊🏿✊🏿

[@mamaandpapajoe]

Cool update on a very interesting cooker dude!

[@CharlieMaveric]

Thank you! It grew on me for sure. At first I didn’t know how it was gonna turn out. Lol.

[@raylin5905]

Thanks for this video. Ive been eyeing the pecos for a while and im caught between this one and the pecos

[@CharlieMaveric]

The only thing I don’t like is it’s not fuel efficient. Other than that, it’s a champ.

[@DavidBridge-u8d]

I have this one and a bravos model and I use this one more Cooks very good for a back yard model I love it

[@CharlieMaveric]

I totally agree. When it’s dialed in, it’s a cooking monster .

[@DavidBridge-u8d]

@@CharlieMaveric I like my little traditional style but that one is big enough to cook the amount I usually do yet designed to cook very evenly The firebox is oversized which is great for me I can cook hot if I want I even have a Treager but I love my over and under Eventually I wanted to build a brick smoker

[@TheMissp83]

Awesome video

[@CharlieMaveric]

Thank you my love.

[@enyceofnyc]

Great video. I am considering getting one. Do you keep it covered? It looks great. If I can keep it looking that good without a cover I’d skip a cover.

[@CharlieMaveric]

I did not keep one on there all the time but I do now since this has been a very very rainy year. I also keep under a gazebo when cooking cuz I kept getting caught in the rain. Just keep it oiled up and cure it when you can and it will stay pretty for a long long time.

[@foodonfire3662]

Nice unit. Very similar the somewhat larger "The Good One - Marshall".

[@CharlieMaveric]

Yeah. Same design concept.

[@TxBoi4891]

What are your cons on this pit? I just saw this in academy today and it just so happens, I got just about fed up with my offset this weekend. I'm new to the over under design, so I'm really curious about the cons, in your opinion. The video is a great review.

[@CharlieMaveric]

Thank you for watching. The biggest con for me is heat retention. It is not efficient at all.so you will be feeding the monster. I tent to do hotter temps and get really good results and the food is done faster. So I open it up and try to get 275 to 300 and get er done.

[@rwc275]

I have been looking at getting the Over And Under for years. My concern is the lever on the side. On the earlier models, the lever would stay up on its own. On the newer models I have seen, they don't. Not sure why or what changed. If I get one, I might try attaching a counter-weight from a rotisserie kit attached to the lever.

[@CharlieMaveric]

I thought about that but that lever is way too heavy. The cords is the best way I have found so far with the suggestion of my buddy. The other thing you can do is have a stick with a fork like ending to prop the lever up. I have no idea why they changed it though.

[@rwc275]

@@CharlieMaveric I pulled the trigger and bought one today. I will try your suggestion. Thanks.

[@CharlieMaveric]

Happy cooking !!! Let me know how you like it

[@NeenertinsBBQ]

Could I honestly use this as a first food truck/ market set up smoker how many briskets or ribs could I put on this bad boy?

[@CharlieMaveric]

I agree with the food truck setup. I’ve made some big briskets on there so I am thinking 6 10 pounders depending how you space them.

[@superb9151]

How many briskets can you fit in there ?

[@CharlieMaveric]

All depends on the size. But I am thinking 6 with both racks in

[@superb9151]

@@CharlieMaveric 👍👍 I’m looking to get a smoker that I can fit more than one brisket. And it seems like old country bbq pits has a couple of smokers with that capacity

[@CharlieMaveric]

@@superb9151 oh yeah. They have so,e really great smokers. This one is super versatile as well. I love smoking ribs on this bad boy.

[@jordanwilliamson1892]

Do run fat up or fat down on briskets ?

[@CharlieMaveric]

Since the heat is coming from the bottom, I run fat down

[@chicago75-so9vs]

Does anyone know the thickness of the steel on this smoker?

[@CharlieMaveric]

It is seems to be similar to the Pecos offset

[@chicago75-so9vs]

Thanks!

[@jackwebb5917]

Did you say $6,700????

[@CharlieMaveric]

Naw. Lol. 6 or 700. Lol.
