Thanks for the video, I learned alot and I truly appreciate it. You are the kind of guy that we could have our families together and smoke some food for fun.

Thanks for that confort words at the end, gonna get it.

All steal pits will rust.... plenty of spray cooking oil will season them right up..... I spray mine before and after all my cooks..... it takes time too just so you know... from time to time you'll see a bit of rust pop up..... just use more spray.....pretty soon it will season up nicely......

I have a similar one, cheap. You chunks, I'm using small strands. Do I need wet pieces or just add

Amazon offers the NPT thread or the M8 thread. Which are you using there?

This is a fantastic cooker for the $. Yea if you got 7K burning a hole in your pocket go get a franklin. But smokers are like golf clubs....it ain't the clubs it's the player. If you slice w cheap clubs you're still gonna slice with the best. With regard to your cons, you probably live in a more humid environment which leads to your therm condensation. Usually it evaporates when you fire up. Can't explain the vent handle. Mines fine and you are the first to mention it that I've seen. Rust.....from day one you must coat any charcoal steel panted unit chargriller or otherwise...with oil inside and out....veg....canola...whatever. And it needs to be re-applied regularly. If you had done that iniitially you would have zero rust. These types of cookers require regular maintenance. If thats too much trouble than these are not for you. Backyard smoking especially offset requires time and some effort. It's not for everyone. Anyway the Grand champ has served me very well and I highly recommend it over anything at the price point.

I have the same one and i love it. It was a gift from my good old pastor and it's been an awesome smoker.

How come you didn’t run the temperature way up to high 300 to 400 to season it? This is the way I did mine and it worked really well. Just curious why you chose a lower temp. These are awesome smokers

Great video Boss. A few questions for you. 1) After I got her smoking I closed the vents not all the way just a little, and it went out. Not sure if it overheated and automatically shut off 🤨 2) Do you soak your wood chips in water? Thanks brother. PEW-PEW!!! Oh, btw, I found my smoker on the side of the road. Everything was there. Just needed a good cleaning.

Great upload, mate. I'm thinking of grabbing one of these bad boys to make jerky or biltong, that was a tiptop explanation video, cheers.

I just picked this up on sale for $198 CAD. Thank you for the great info.

I used to have some of those silver cuckoo marans! I bought these giant, silicon ice moulds and before work ,in the morning, I would drop the giant blocks into their waterer.

Thanks for the tips! I just bought a used one for $80!

thanks for the review dood.

Love what u have change what u dont like. With that gauge when u get it hot again that water will go away

I just bought this smoker. Thanks for the video. Do i have to do anything with the vents at the back?

How long did it take you to cook the chicken?

Just got a used one similar to this from a good friend for helping him move some stuff. Gonna be smoking some tomorrow. I'm running it tonight just to get it cleaned up and ready for use. It was sitting for a year or 2.

I've recently switched from Qstoves to Asmoke and I couldn't be happier! The convenience and versatility of the Asmoke grill are unparalleled. I love the ability to control the temperature digitally and the flavor that the wood pellets add to the food is amazing. Plus, it's so portable! I've taken it camping, tailgating, and on road trips. The fact that it's battery-powered and can be used wirelessly is a game-changer. With the Asmoke Essential, I'm not just grilling, I'm creating unique flavors and experiences for my family and friends. And the app makes it super easy to monitor the temperature and even share my favorite recipes. If you're looking to enhance your outdoor cooking, I highly recommend Asmoke. #Asmoke

As a former Qstoves user, switching to Asmoke has been a game changer for me. The precise temperature control on the Asmoke grill is phenomenal and has made my grilling experience much easier and more efficient. I appreciate the variety of wood pellet flavors available, it opens up a new world of taste for my grilling. Plus, Asmoke's smart design is perfect for on-the-go, making it my go-to for outings. The fact that it's battery-powered and portable is a huge plus. I also enjoy the convenience of being able to monitor the temperature and adjust it remotely via the app. It's these features that make Asmoke stand out for me compared to Qstoves. If you are considering switching, I would highly recommend Asmoke for its convenience, efficiency, and flavor-enhancing capabilities. #Asmoke

Love the vid! Helped a ton. I have the John Mclemore series. And this video is going to help alot. Appreciate the time youbtook. Thank You!

Bought mine at Home Depot, on clearance sale w/military discount it was $270! Added Lavalock thermometers (one left, one right), added stack extension, and baffle w/water pan, and tuning plates. Saw rust immediately, and quickly got worse, see photos! I do keep it covered but it’s Oregon. Painted it (twice) with ultra high temp paint (2000 degree rating), prepped with wire brush, still rusts! Best thing to do is treat it like your weapon, keep a light coat of oil on it after smokes! I love mine for the value & money! I will not paint it again. Drive it until she is dead. Well worth the value. Love the two shelves, front shelf….thrilled with my purchase! My smokes have been brilliant.

Thanks, great overview, got one from the fam and I’m excited to try it

Thank you i have own a smoker for two years know, i just but one like the one you have and i love it simple but gets the job done nice!

Thanks for the info . Appreciate it!

give it me

Thank you for your awesome videos. Please teach fall off the bone ribs too

Thank you brother bought a used one just like this can you do brisket in it or is it not recommended

What is the internal size of the smoker? W and high??

Hey bud! You have great videos here. Following you now…

What is meat church gospel?

So much to like … your own rub, epic beef ribs, the smoked vegetables, and a pool ! Why can’t I be your neighbor… I enjoyed the video. Looks like you are living your best bbq life.

I have one of these and just bought an offset. This little guy has been awesome for the past 4-5 years! Giving to a long time friend wanting to start backyard smoking!!!

Good info, Thank you!

I just received my Grand Champion for Christmas 😅. It will be a week or two until it's assembled. I have a couple of friends who are going to put it together for me. Mean while I'm watching videos and learning what I can. Your videos are well done and has given me a lot of useful information.

I’m going to say maybe the rainstorm caused all that. The gauge for sure. And the rust maybe?? Gauge will probably evacuate itself give it a month.

Well, how was the flavor? Smokey?

I've been tempted to try this myself. It's my understanding that oxtails absolutely need to be braised, because smoking them just isn't enough. Great job, brother!

Looks amazing

Don't forget you already paid $300 for it

Like mine a lot. A little more than "entry level" but not high end by any means. Fireboxes get hot and will rust and requires on going attention. Keep up with it. (Not unexpected.) The best thing they could do with this is to replace the cheep spindles and wheels with a through both legs bigger diameter axle and harbor freight nematic tire wheels. This would be a huge upgrade worth a little more $ IMO. Get the extra thermometers for the corners and a ash raker to remove excess ash on long smokes. The XD makes this easy to do with the full sized fire box door but they ash rake should come with IMO. Also, make a proper fit winter thermo blankie available to keep temps cozy in cold weather.

I like mine but find high fuel consumption. During long cooks, I am adding small splits or charcoal every 30 minutes, to maintain 250-275. Stick burners require a lot of attention, I get that, but this one keeps me busy. Still, for the $, you can’t beat it!

I don’t see the shelf?

Thank you for making this video! I just bought the Grand Champ XD and I was curious about the lava lock temp gauges. How have they held up since making this video?

Good stuff

What was the highest IT that you brought them to? I just did some boneless beef ribs that I brought up to just over 200° IT, and they were just a tad on the tough side, even after a good rest.
