      Thanks for pointing that out. I'm looking forward to pulling the trigger on a fridge 48 and debating whether or not that extra grand for insulated firebox would be needed for sure and I'm up in Central Wisc and plan on using year round or at least on the nicer winter days. Either way, its going to be about a year before I'd see one if I ordered today.

    That's a great smoker. The question is whether a less efficient horizontal offset smoker will produce an even better smoke flavor? Jambo seems to the the Rolls Royce
    of the smokers. That would be awesome. The best smoke quality that I have had anywhere, is from KBQ, Karubecue. I can use logs with 25% to 30% moisture content running
    clean smoke for the most amazing smoke flavor. It is hard to burn 30% logs on offset smokers, while generating clean smoke. Last cook I did was high moisture post oak, I was able to get the maximum biscuity aroma, characteristic to post oak, but also very clean. Also Mesquite is difficult to use in offset smokers, as one has to use small logs, and make sure to run ultra clean smoke. It is a piece of cake on the KBQ. Some people nag about the need to feed wood every 20 minutes or so, but I don't mind, cause the result is unrivalled.
    It also has a feature to dial in some dirty smoke, if needed, depending on cooking strategy and wood being used.

    I haven't heard of TMG, but I have heard of Outlaw and Jambo. It seems like you are more in the realm of the competition cookers. I recently purchased a Fatstack 120 gallon backyard cooker and after a nearly 3 year wait, I should be receiving it in a few months. It has that insulated firebox which will be nice compared to what I am currently cooking on. I appreciate the content! Love learning your perspective on bbq!

    • @GulfCoastSmoke
      @GulfCoastSmoke  Год назад

      I am most definitely looking at a comp cooker for sure. I think I’ll always keep the TMG because it’s great for pop ups and sample days which we try doing often! Outlaws and Jambos are so damn nice, but your Fatstack is gonna be awesome!

    • @harrythehorsebbq
      @harrythehorsebbq Год назад +1

      @@GulfCoastSmoke I wonder if there is a major difference in competition style cookers and backyard cookers in general. Maybe a future video idea/collab?? I bet the Outlaws and Jambos cost a pretty penny too, but they definitely seem worth it! Looking forward to continue to learn about the competition side of bbq from your channel!

    • @GulfCoastSmoke
      @GulfCoastSmoke  Год назад +1

      I think it’s more about the size of them and how they flow for larger pits! I’m not 100% sure but that would be my first guess. I don’t really think that we will see Outlaw’s or Jambo’s at a restaurant, you know? But I’m not 100% positive. I am hoping to bring more offset and smoker vids your way!

    Everything about this smoker looks great. (not that I have used one) I do agree the table would be inconvenient. Would be nice to be able to fold it down when you need to.

    Been looking at the very same one. I'd like something taller to hang and smoke cheddar jalapeño sausage but not quite sure that the hotbox addon/insulated firebox is worth the extra $2350 to avoid the heat from the firebox. Solid sexy smokers...you get what you pay for.
