We compared pellets to charcoal... and the results were DELICIOUS

[@Wattsonthegrill]

Very nice. Great channel. Can't wait until you guys get big. Cheers 🥂 from BRANTFORD ONTARIO

[@TBH-Grillin]

Thanks!

[@old_papa]

Another Canadian here. Just subscribed. Great video and channel - you can tell you guys have been friends for a while. I just bought a Searwood (not the XL) - long time Big Green Egg user. Haven't even done my first cook on it - raining today so starting tomorrow. I bought a DiamondKing 4"x4" smoker box and plan to put a couple briquettes on the bottom and wood chunks on top to get some extra smoke flavour. But going to do a few cooks with just pellets first.

[@Wattsonthegrill]

@@old_papa very nice. Cheers. Thank you

[@TBH-Grillin]

⁠@@old_papahaha yes we have! That’s awesome, we plan to try a smoker box as well to try to get that charcoal smoke flavor. Thanks for subbing!

[@radu1042]

What's the size of that Red Sauce bottle?

[@TBH-Grillin]

@@radu1042 I believe that was a 23oz bottle of Frank’s Red Hot, but you don’t have to get it exact. 1/2 to 1 stick of butter and a healthy dose of Frank’s in the sauce pan and you’re golden.

[@roondoggers87]

That Loot n Booty Gold Star is my favorite chicken rub. Good choices gents.

[@TBH-Grillin]

That is a good one for sure.

[@weskoons4820]

I’ve been looking for those baskets for my searwood but the only Weber baskets I find doesn’t show as compatible..

[@TBH-Grillin]

The one we’ve been using is right here: amzn.to/4eGRZuv

[@Redridge07]

15:25 Use a smoke tube in the searwood for extra smoke

[@TBH-Grillin]

Yes, we intend to do a smoke box soon.

[@RussWeeks-e8z]

What model Searwood were you using? 600 or 600XL?

[@TBH-Grillin]

XL

[@PsychopathicBob1]

How can you compare two different types of cookers?

[@TBH-Grillin]

We take the meat that comes off two types of cookers, taste it, and use the results to try different techniques for adding more smoke flavor on the pellet grill.

[@christopherlucas4805]

I bought the Weber basket but don’t have the rotisserie, what one did you use? I ended up buying the same smoker searwood xL 600.

[@TBH-Grillin]

Congrats on the Searwood! I am using the Weber rotisserie that is designed for the Searwood XL. Unfortunately, it appears to be out of stock at the moment. www.weber.com/US/en/accessories/accessories-by-grill-type/wood-pellet-grill-accessories/3400246.html

[@scottgardner1971]

Where did you find the rotisserie baskets for the Searwood?

[@TBH-Grillin]

Here you go for the basket - amzn.to/4eGRZuv I assume you already have the rotisserie itself

[@nmjhd1234]

Awesome wing cook. How do you go about cleaning these rotisserie type containers? Subbed

[@TBH-Grillin]

I put mine in the dishwasher which has a steam and high heat setting. Comes out almost brand new. Thanks for subbing!

[@TaylorMusic13]

FYI I just bought the Amazon baskets and 2 don’t fit my Searwood XL - the collar to collar dimension is about 18.5” so two are about 1” too long. I think there must of changed this product since this video was made.

[@TBH-Grillin]

Oh, very interesting. Yeah they must've changed it. We just got the Weber branded basket to try it out. It's much larger, but also almost double the price. Look for a video on it soon.

[@Dead_Aim556]

I have the same issue 😊

[@TaylorMusic13]

The Weber basket is much nicer for sure. I have that one too but obviously price is much higher. I modified the Amazon baskets by cutting the collars down and tapping new holes for the set screws. I will say I get a better results on the 2 cheaper baskets when I cook 4 packs of wings as the extra space in the separate baskets produce crispier wings. When I did 4 packs in the Weber basket it was just too much chicken and the wing skin came out chewy/soft.

[@Dead_Aim556]

@ I was thinking of doing this as well. How much collar is left after you cut them down?

[@TaylorMusic13]

Wish I could post a photo that I have comparing before and after. I don’t have it in front of my but I’d say I left about an inch for the collars. You might make them a little longer and try to locate the set screws such that they don’t clash with the basket or the adjacent basket set screw. Mine done hit the basket but they do overlap with the adjacent basket set screw

[@swpdds]

What neighborhood do you guys live in? I’m moving! Great funny videos. Just ordered 600 XL baby! Need baskets now!

[@TBH-Grillin]

Congrats on the Searwood! Are you moving to/within Virginia?

[@JohnDoe-if8nd]

Royal Oak charcoal pellets for your Weber

[@TBH-Grillin]

Plan to try it and do a video on it, but I have my doubts about whether it will produce the same level of charcoal flavor. What say you?

[@JohnDoe-if8nd]

Idk, will be interesting to see

[@MP-po4fp]

People saying the royal oak charcoal pellets give the same flavor as real charcoal are the same people that say their pellet grill gives as much smoke flavor as an offset does.

[@TBH-Grillin]

Right. We know it doesn't, but we gotta try to maximize what we can while keeping the convenience of the pellet smoker!

[@wadeabbey4940]

get a chimney for the charcoal, will be ready way faster. cheers

[@TBH-Grillin]

Bob hates the chimney for some reason. Plus he just got a new torch gun!

[@dlgoetz]

Great video guys.

[@TBH-Grillin]

Thanks, cheers! 🍻

[@jibronCee]

I like everything you guys are doing, but we drinking Truly out here?? Great video!

[@TBH-Grillin]

Haha yes. Seltzer on the menu so we can drink and stay hydrated!

[@jondoezz_]

Good stuff gents! Those wings look 😋

[@TBH-Grillin]

They were! Especially tossed, in my opinion.

[@mdamiano88]

Check out Cameron’s professional flip smoke box. Learned from Mad Backyard, you load a few coals in it and can load wood chunks in it and reload as needed

[@TBH-Grillin]

Thanks for the suggestion. Going to check it out!

[@mdamiano88]

I take that recommendation back. My own R&D has shows that the 6x6 diamond king smoke box is the superior item. I lit 3 briquettes until ashed over and added tons of chunks twice, for a total of 4 hours to some ribs I was doing. MAN. Perfection.😊

[@TBH-Grillin]

⁠@@mdamiano88I was just looking at the diamond king! Will order.

[@smrdmr1]

WOW! They all look delicious. My one concern is that you spent a fortune on the Kamado, didn't you have enough money for store bought starters? LOL

[@TBH-Grillin]

Haha good question. Always gotta save where possible!

[@PsychopathicBob1]

Two different types of cookers can't be compared. As they will cook differently.

[@TBH-Grillin]

You can still compare the results!

[@SchoolHardKnocks]

You can absolutely get charcoal flavor on your Weber Searwood… Royal Oak Charcoal Pellets. Plus you can blend them with hickory/other wood pellets. I use them on my Weber SmokeFire for hamburgers, hotdogs, brats, etc

[@TBH-Grillin]

I’m skeptical but we are going to try it and do a video. I hope you’re right!

[@SchoolHardKnocks]

Looking forward to your review video of the Royal Oak Charcoal Pellets. A couple of notes: they seem to burn hotter, produce smoke at higher temperatures than wood pellets, and they are resistant to moisture (can leave in hopper without fear of swelling like wood pellets). My go to pellets are Smokin Pecan Shell Pellets (best for smoking low & slow), Knotty Wood Almond Pellets, and Royal Oak Charcoal Pellets.

[@danma6197]

Please try this. Wonder if they sell over in Europe

[@TBH-Grillin]

@@SchoolHardKnocks Sounds good. What's always confused me about the "burn hotter" thing is that it shouldn't apply to a pellet grill, because the pellet grill would adjust how many pellets it's dropping into the fire box based on the temp inside the pit. Is the point just that it will use less of the charcoal pellets than it would standard wood pellets?

[@TBH-Grillin]

@@danma6197 Will do. Maybe you can get them on amazon.

[@a.c.3024]

Can you say, "This is the way" more frequently, please?

[@TBH-Grillin]

Yes, we will try 😄

[@BBQ-n-Pigskin]

Apparently someone likes the Mandalorian too

[@TBH-Grillin]

Yes indeed!

[@slimshady2022]

This is the way

[@TBH-Grillin]

@@slimshady2022this… IS… the way

[@michaelgartman4320]

I got a basket and did wings. The rub all came off and stuck to the mesh of the basket and became cement like in consistency as the grease from the chicken wings baked it on. I soaked it in a tub of soapy water overnight and then used my high pressure setting on my hose nozzle. Still couldn't get it all off. Will probably retire the basket for everything except vegetables. If the rub hadn't come off I'd probably be willing to forgive and forget. What a mess.

[@TBH-Grillin]

That’s exactly why Bob said in the video not to season prior to the cook. I guess he was right. I put my baskets in the dishwasher on the highest setting and they come out clean as a whistle. Can you try that?

[@michaelgartman4320]

@@TBH-Grillin i would be scared to try, it was so much crud. But if yours worked ok, maybe i will try!

[@TBH-Grillin]

Make sure to empty the trap at the bottom of the dishwasher when you are done!

[@jameswatson7218]

Use charcoal pellets and you will get that favor

[@TBH-Grillin]

We did in a later video. Very good but not quite the same tbh.

[@PsychopathicBob1]

Tongs are tongs dude.

[@TBH-Grillin]

I'll have to disagree on this one. These tongs are the best.

[@rockon856]

Take a shot every time you hear money

[@TBH-Grillin]

Haha, there’s a recipe for alcohol poisoning

[@MrPhoenix1800]

Apparently they make charcoal pellets I believe sambos place KZbin channel uses them. You could also use a smoke box to try and get more smoke flavor.

[@TBH-Grillin]

We tested out the charcoal pellets last night as a matter of fact. Video coming out soon!

[@MrPhoenix1800]

Cool watch it when it does
