Vision Classic Kamado Ceramic Grill Review
It's time for another grill review! Or is it a smoker? Or an oven? Kamado grills are a bit difficult to pin down. Ultimately, they're extraordinarily versatile cookers that fit a wide range of methods. While a good kamado grill tends to be expensive, the Vision Classic Kamado (by Vision Grills) is a value play in this market and that's the unit we're reviewing today.
Is it worth the money? Actually, I'm just going to spoil it for you. Yes. Yes, it is. In particular, I got a pretty good deal on this one, but even at retail it's a great value option.
We're going to go through features and functions and then do a test cook. Our inaugural cook is a beef tri-tip roast, which perfectly complement...

Are 3-2-1 Ribs a Waste of Time?
Просмотров 149Месяц назад
I've made a lot of ribs, but I've never tried 3-2-1. It's a really popular method for backyard barbecuers and I thought it was time to put them to the test. Can they compare to restaurant quality? If they're not as good, are they still a viable solution for low-maintenance ribs? If they're not a viable solution...do dogs like them? Let's find out!

    I only use lump in my ocgf. Never had it bridge or had a problem with wood chunks burning. Once it gets fully saturated with heat the chunks catch more from that than the embers. Smoke flavor is always good. Just break up the large pieces of lump.

    buy a replacement charcoal pan on day 1 and it can be 10 years of use easy. this was my first grill and it went 5 years until the charcoal pan disintegrated... but some of that was probably negligence on my part. i absolutely love this grill. the warming rack is why i keep not getting a kettle grill... i just did 18 drumsticks on my new grillmaster this week and probably could have squeezed 6 more... only had space for that because of the rack gave more space off heat the charcoal pan was shot one the side i usually put heat on after 4 years but I switched sides on the last year until it also succumbed to time

    Good job, great video -- my only question is; I saw how much wood you used on the offset (as in all wood, for many hours), but not how much wood you used on the gravity fed. The smoke ring on the offset turned out beautiful, where there was almost none on the gravity fed. I believe you could have achieved the same smoke ring on the gravity fed if you would have used the same amount of wood you used on the offset, or at least quite a bit more than you used.

I used metal tape to seal the four holes. When smoking, I used the Snake Method. I did a lot of Pork Butt's & Chuck Roasts. Snake method provides 8 hours of low and slow temps. With minimal lifting the lid.

      More or less right in the middle. Now it's hot near the firebox (expected) and another spot a few inches from the stack. Though the main benefit of the stack extension was temperature regulation of the entire cook chamber: temps recovered quicker after opening the firebox and held more consistently over time.

    I don't really think there is a secret to smoke a perfect brisket. It's all about knowing the tools you have available. I smoked my first brisket (20lb) which was a substantial investment and I was determine to make sure that i would be successful the first time around with no room for failure. To me trial and error was not an option, and to date my first brisket was the best based on research, preparation with a calculated approach. At the time my smoker of choice was a Oklahoma Joe Highland with minimal mods consisting of gaskets and clamps. Currently I have a Pellet smoker, Electric smoker and propane smoker and non of them compares to the consistence quality I've been able to produce with a sub 400 dollar stick smoker. I am considering on investing on a gravity smoker based on sheer convenience, but I'm skeptical that I would get better results with a 1500 dollar gravity smoker versus a 400 dollar true and tried offset...

      I definitely wouldn't expect everyone to learn by trial and error with something as expensive as a brisket. That's part of the reason we do it here: so other people don't have to waste money. Now, as to your consideration of a gravity smoker. I hope you get one and enjoy it. The convenience factor is fantastic. Will it be my go-to for brisket? No: I, too, prefer offset cooking. Can it deliver a brisket just as good? For me, at least in this go around, it did. Sorry for the long winded reply!
