    Thanks for posting these videos. I've been smoking meat for 20 years and it's been hit or miss (mostly miss) until I started following your guidance. I have a few tips too: stab your meat multiple times with a fork before applying salt/spices; finish your smoke in a turkey pan instead of wrapping in paper or foil - it's much easier to collect the smoky fat and gelatin from a pan than it is from a wrap.

    Anyone wanting to understand the difference between temperature and heat needs to only experience the difference between a home heated with a wood stove versus conventional central heating system. With rooms heated to the exact same temps, the one heated with wood will always feel ten degrees warmer. It is a much warmer heat even tho it’s the same temperature

    Good stuff Jeremy! I remember you did the same test with your Brazos. Maybe you can do an experiment with the Brazos by extending the smoke stack like the Franklin pit and do a comparison on cooking temp throughout the chamber. Then do another biscuit test on the Brazos with the extended smokestack.

      Jorge, I have an Old Country Brazos (because of Jeremy's videos) and I extended my stack about 30 inches and now I get MUCH more even cooking across my smoker. the temp about 6" from the stack and the temp about 12 inches from the firebox end are within 5 degrees of each other most of the time. I haven't done the biscuit test on mine, but according to the thermos's it is far better than stock. Also, it has enabled me to leave the firebox door cracked open about an inch (with the damper open as well) and still keep the temp I need. From my experience it is a major improvement. Just my 2 cents. Happy smoking!
