This smoker doesn't have a damper as it's just stove pipe I attached when I deleted the stock exhaust and moved exhaust to be grate level

Ok, I wondered as I have a char grillar grand champ and have trouble getting the tip top temp to fit……thanks

Awesome! Thanks for posting. That is great! Happy bbq and camping

Yep I just got these on Amazon (affiliate link) amzn.to/4e7oTnb

Mileage does vary but I roll with vents 100% open top and bottom

Can of worms opened.

I replace them every few years

@@3GTBBQ Ok I'm about to get some my 22 leaks little ..thanks good video

I was gonna say I use the Weber Heat Controller and mine are done in 25 every time. Not sure how they’re completely unable after that much time with the vortex

Man so sorry to hear that about the grease fire! I've had some big grease fires while cooking with my kettle and the one thing I've noticed in common with all of them is that there is a build up of grime in the bottom of the grill. So I typically will just scrape all that gunk out after a few cooks. If your grill was spotless when you first started cooking those thighs it could have been fat dripping overload. Wings shouldn't have some much fat on them and should be a cleaner cook for sure. I would give the vortex another try! Chicken breasts, drumsticks, wings etc

@@3GTBBQ thank you

Thanks for the kind words fam!

I bought this set! amzn.to/4cawlg8

@@3GTBBQ Thanks - which is the size you use? just prefer to buy 1 if possible, the diameter and height :D

I just measured the one I use for Jumbo joe. It is 8 inches across and 3 inches tall

I've acquired a taste over the years but venison is definitely more on the mild side of the gamey taste. Can easily be avoided with a good brine or combo of seasonings. Given your history, I would take a small bite or mix some beef burger in with it if you have ground venison 😂

Not enough for me to notice for a 45 to 55 minute cook. The heat rises and then bounces around in the chamber until moving toward the exhaust damper. This is effectively a convection oven. Give it a try with your next batch of chicken wings!

Awesome! Magnets have worked well for main chamber. For the firebox I combo firebricks and ended up just draping some felt over as the heat is too much for the magnets

@@3GTBBQ That's great! I was so bummed out when I realised that I need like 3x-4x the amount of wood/charcoal for my offset smoker than for my previous small bbq grill - and then I realised "I need to insulate that damn thing". I mean it's so obvious, it has like 3x the surface area in comparison to a small round bbq grill. I just couldn't figure out how to do it without making it look too ugly (plain mineral wool).. and how to make it non-permanent. So, thanks for that inspiration! :D

Toss them in whatever sauce you like..

Thanks fam!

Unfortunately the last time I tested it it still had to be manually switched. Luckily it's not that difficult with the app

Thanks for the comment Bruce and thanks for the awesome invention! I recommend it to followers, friends and family all the time!

I do not. I just keep it simple and it cooks evenly by the convection

Night and day difference if your smoker has very thin metal. It should benefit any smoker but I feel like it will most drastically benefit cookers with thinner metals.

@@3GTBBQ do you notice smoke from the felt or degradation? cuz those fireboxes can get very hot..

It seemed like initially there was some sort of gas being released. I believe it might have been factory oils. Fabric seems fine after use. I've probably ran this smoker 3 or 4 times with the insulation on now and everything is holding up. I'm probably going to use safety pins to bind the fabric together and drape it over the firebox instead of magnets since they can't hold up to the heat. I used safety pins on my WSM when I fabricated an insulation cover for it and it has held up great, granted we aren't looking at anywhere near as extreme heats. It's a fun experiment.

Great idea!

You should make an Instructable about it! I love homebrew projects like that.

+1 for highly efficient, long burning wife.

Great idea!
