be honest w me have u ever actually gone to internetshaquille.com
i have now
No, literally never. Sorry Shaq, I just love that pretty face.
hell yeah I have! just because I was curious about your day job haha
No one has
oh I also went there because I wanted to give you that sweet sweet amazon affiliate money when I bought the towels you recommended haha
This isn't a guide to choosing a smoker, it's a guide to choosing everything
1 minute of Shaq = 10 minutes of any other educational content
@@buffkangaroo3765 really like 20 hrs
Right. I felt that camera shopping section in my soul. As a recovering min/maxxer research fiend, I came to the same conclusion as Shaq (there is rarely an objective max and half of the features you debate over are ones you never have or never will care about again).
so true
Every industry on RUclips needs a creator like you. It's very refreshing not having a facade of perfection. Keep up the great work!
thank u mr beaulne :)
What do you mean? This is perfection!
How are his content and magnificent delivery not complete perfection.
You never do anything half assed and this video is no exception. Thanks for going into the little things that most people wouldn't think about like delivery costs and grill covers. These are the things that separate you.
He is incomparable. Similar to a
@@itskelvinn Bo strikes again!
Why did I watch an 8 minute smoker review if I live in an apartment and in a state where I can only comfortably cook outside for maybe half the year? Because Shaq's videos are just that good, even if he sometimes puts on cute little thematic costumes.
It's because it's not actually about buying a Pellet Grill. It's about buying anything.
You can smoke in uncomfortable temperatures, you spend 10 minutes outside twice, and the rest inside while it smokes
Bruh. Im from south asia and im allergic to beef and pork. I still watched everything.
I don’t give a damn about smokers, and will probably never buy one, but I enjoyed this video just because of how well it’s made. So well thought out!
Killer video! This should be the gold standard for equipment reviews. You take into consideration all aspects and are honest and upfront that everyone has different needs and preferences, and one thing isnt simply the best. And you took the time to do a long term review. That is invaluable because using a kitchen tool for a week wont tell you or us the audience if its durable enough to even last a month.
Thank you for the time and effort. I will definitely be referencing this when I decide to get into smoking more.
Internet Shaquille? A consistent upload schedule?
Impossible
Keep it up!
The companies who have been waiting 8 months for my thoughts on their product are less impressed with my pace
@@internetshaquille who cares what they think? Its only money, contracts, and reputation that you have to lose from them.
@@internetshaquille 😂
@@internetshaquille:
People don't tend to like thorough examination...
Like an employer that says they pay you to read the employee handbook and contact.
Another couple things to consider, like I had to recently, regarding practicality:
- How reliable/available is your power? These require a power source, so do you have an outdoor outlet near by or will you need to run an extension cable? Does your power have a tendency to go out during storms? The oven/stove might not be working, but neither is your grill.
- What's your area set up like? Will it allow for enough airflow to keep smoke from lingering/building up? Are you in a townhouse where the smoke will waft into your neighbors area to an offensive level?
Here are a couple of tips that make assembly slightly easier ruclips.net/user/postUgkxCx5fHawkK9OoV-ojFrY8JLnZrFwAmvUt . 1) One person can assemble, but if you have a buddy to help, it will make it go faster - especially steps 1-3 and 8 (the legs aren't heavy but can be difficult to hold while screwing things in). Step 8, 1st part will take some time unless you have two more hands OR are really lucky. 2) Use a socket wrench! 3) Step 7, 3rd part - the flame carry over tube has an open side, MAKE SURE THE OPEN SIDE IS FACING THE FRONT. If it's facing the back, the tube won't work. 4) Step 10, 3rd part - if you don't have small hands (I don't, they're gigantic) getting the nut on is really difficult (but not impossible). It took me about 4 hours to assemble, but I took a "union break" every 60-90 minutes and ate a quick lunch. Also, I'm really OCD so I took my time, looked at the instructions carefully, and cleaned up as I went.
B-roll and ever-swelling circumference XD. I really like shaq's banter
Yeah the writing is unmatched
This resonated with me so much lol. Deciding on a pellet smoker was a struggle - way too many different options and features. I actually ended up with a camp chef woodwind, just because of the easy ash cleanup and the sidekick
I appreciate how thoughtful you were in putting this together. You made an effort to highlight what factors are actually important in choosing a grill (or whether you should even get one), instead of bombarding viewers with trivial stats that you'd see in Amazon comparison tables. Those tables aren't useless, but most people who are new to smokers don't even know what to look out for. I hope this video does really well.
I've been watching for a while now, and every single video is a banger. Short, chock full of information, and very well spoken! Very excited for 500k, keep it up Shaq.
Loved the video! Great content! Refreshing narrative.
Never thought I would care about this topic but compelling video with great delivery
What an absolutely impressive and creative piece of content !
Those comparisons at the end were chef's kiss
Have recently been looking into pellet grills and was overwhelmed with options, you’re the goat Internet Shaquille 🙌🙌🙌🙌
I feel like this video will be very sucessful. Thank you Mr. Shaquille for your valuable work!
Your deliveries. Impeccable.
Always top notch content! Fast, funny, and thorough! I totally hate getting into "gearhead" kinda discussions/debates and your framing of the this video set some great ground rules!
Would recommend
I live in a city where it’s below -30 Celsius for 3-4 months of the year, yet I watched this entire thing. As always, you make insanely good and shareable content. Thanks.
Highly recommend springing for a PID controller, especially in cold climates. I bought an aftermarket one and it made my cheapest-one-you-can-buy pellet grill actually a pleasure to use
I spend way too much time on RUclips and this video can't be considered wasting time... I am probably 3 years away from buying a pellet grill because life but I'm going to remember this. Best comparison video I have ever seen
Been watching my boy for a while. The honesty in the videos is a refreshing change to the facade that has become the internet. Honesty is gold. Always.
Thorough and well-made. Not that any of us are shocked.
Glad I found this! By far the most entertaining review with breakdowns. Thank you, good sir.
Most people have said it better than I can but your videos are so refreshing. This is what product reviews should be and I wish you did more! Love my pellet smoker so much.
What an overview! I'm going to have to share this with my customers. I sell a lot of smokers and grills and this is the type of overview I would tell my salespeople to give any customer. You even start with the budget
That last brisket analogy told me everything I need to know. Thank you. Best review I’ve seen
Very practical questions to consider. Love it.
Found you through a short, this seems like a real solid channel
this was very well made, as usual with netshaq videos! i appreciated the honesty when discussing the price points, really shows that he really want to help people to make decisions.
I just bought my first pellet smoker. I really enjoyed this video. Thank you! Keep it up!
This is the best review for anything I have ever seen. I got a cheapo pellet smoker two years ago for black Friday and it's one of the best purchases I've ever made!
I'm using these questions whenever I make any purchase
I haven't even remotely considered purchasing a smoker / grill, and won't in the foreseeable future. But you still made me hit that like button and genuinely chuckle while trying to follow the fast paced ending of the video.
Great work as always ! Thank you
I don’t want one of these, but I watched the whole video. Entertaining and informative.
Bought a pit boss 550g with the wifi expansion and I love it
You’re the best, Shaq. This channel needs to blow up.
Love the channel bro. The ‘stache gets me every time. Where the bbq at?
Legit question for rural Americans - How do I kill the 30-50 feral hogs that run into my yard within 3-5 mins while my small kids play?
I could introduce you to my uncles...
An AR
The classic answer is an AR but since there's 30-50 of them charging around in the yard, just a single AR wouldn't cut it. Get yourself a surplus machine gun and a few belts of ammo and you'll be good.
Here in Texas, feral hog control can and does escalate to no-shit shooting at them with machine guns from helicopters. I know this sounds like a shitpost but I swear to God this is 100% true. "30-50 feral hogs" is an inherently hilarious phrase but they're no joke.
Get your kids some AR's of their own to help their pop's commit war crimes on those fuckers. Hogs kill kids and occasionally adults all the time, they are no joke. Stay strapped or get clapped.
Another great video Shaq! Learned a lot.
You're the dad I didn't know I needed
I could listen to you talk about anything for any amount of time
bro throughout the whole vid i was so confused why you were wearing a that carhart over a hoodie in arizona weather and was all i could think about and you go ahead and actually address it. A+
Your videos are always fire.
I respect your views and opinion on this subject,,, I researched this to death about 6 years ago and went with the RecTec 680,,, heavy gauge,,, all steel,,, I've been happy with it for what it's worth...
Excellent advice thanks. Cheers.
Internet Shaquille videos always top shelf
The camera bit perfectly described what I went though buying my first high-end headphones.
Great guide! Short, sweet and covers the absolute essentials as always! One thing I'd add is if you want the option to grill WITHOUT smoking, look carefully. Depending on your space/needs/budget, you can also consider a vertical pellet smoker in conjunction with horizontal grill model, or a charcoal grill/offset smoker. But again, your actual space/needs/budget plus the other tips here are crucial to avoid wasting time and money.
I'd personally recommend the brands Chargriller and Pitboss (pending location) as decent budget brands. Not the only ones out there, plenty I don't know about or have access to here in Aus at least but it's a start for those curious.
I bought a Traeger knock-off. I like it. It's very small, but suits our needs fine. Good job on the video.
I don't even own or plan on owning a pellet girl but this video was still mighty solid. Every shaq video is always perfectly edited and written like there's not one part of a video that doesn't contain useful knowledge
This is great! Good stuff man… informative and hilarious. Btw I’m like the brisket at the grocery store type of guy
I've thought about getting one, I currently have a Weber Genesis gas grill and a Weber Performer charcoal. I can't justify a third grill since I can do simple smoking on my charcoal grill ( I added a gasket to the lid so it seals real good )
After extensive research in early 2021, I purchased the full stainless Maverick 850 from Pitts and Spitts last summer, it is an incredible beast and built unlike any other, especially in the full stainless. P&S, MAK, Memphis and Yoder amongst the best imo
the most underrated cooking/life channel anywhere on youtube
I got an RT-340 last year and it was probably my best purchase. I used it for smoking a brined thanksgiving turkey and I can never go back to oven baked turkey again, it was so beyond delicious. 20/10.
wow that was a lot of info very fast. Still it made sense and I appreciate the effort and organization that went into it!
I have a Weber Smokey mountain and have no intention’s of buying a smoker to replace it anytime soon. But every time you put a vid out I must watch it. You are great at delivering info and your vids are just so damn watchable. Can’t explain it, maybe because I’m an idiot from Kentucky lol
Man you make the best videos
Camp Chef ftw IMO. I love mine.
Always loved your content but this is the video that made me say, “am I subscribed to this guy? Cause if not, I gotta be.” Smooth flow. Go AZ!!
I have a rectec that I modded the camp chef side burner to. That thing is amazing does it all
I need to do that with my 340. rectecs are super easy to use and mine has been flawless
HAHAHA BEST PELLET SMOKER GRILL VIDEO EVER!!!!! Hate when i click on a video and their smoker is shiny AF, not even used and they review it..... This felt real and honest. The world need more ppl like u man, keep up the good work
I don't know if this is the right way to say this, but I feel like this is the most moral RUclips channel. The way he handles sponsors and reviews is refreshing
Also, sick dad fit for what is easily your most fatherly vid
I just use a good ole Weber Grill/smoker. Super simple but requires some technique. It's a great lil tailgater too. A pallet smoker is on my list for sometime in the future.
I truly appreciate the feral hogs reference. Your references are out of control, everyone knows that.
Great video!
Just an Awesome review
Keep blowin' up my friend. One of the most interesting and funny cooking shows I've ever seen.
easily my favorite food / cooking content creator on RUclips
I WILL say BEST
And don't forget about the insulating blanket if you live in a cold climate and want to grill the winter!
I won't ever buy any of these but good to know that you personify your grills. Do you name them too by any chance? 🤔 🧐
finally, I've been in the market for something to smoke my recently butchered 30-50 feral hogs and this has been invaluable
Love the review especially when we got to "This Guy". You may want to look at the Lone Star Grillz Pellet Smoker. It runs like and off-set, but has the capability to Grill and use Charcoal with added accessories. It's only a few 100 more than the Yoder too.
i'm confident this video will be invaluable in three years when i fully transmute into a grilldad
Sometimes I don’t feel cool enough to watch our man’s vids. But I always watch them anyways as a little treat to myself.
I live in a house in the UK with almost zero outside space but if there's a Shaquille video out, you know I'm watching all of it
😉👍 Once again you nudge me towards culinary creativeness... for me a whole new way to try NOT to burn dinner.
Love the "this guy... this guy..." analogies.
Looking good in the carhartt jacket
My man with the voodoo ranger hat. Keep up the unique content
This SOB somehow managed to improved his already perfect format. WTF.
I have no interest of this gear nor the intention of buying it but enjoyed the video nonetheless. The metaphor you used really wraps up the video neatly! Thanks again for the video!
unbelievable you sneaked in the feral hogs reference - love it
Pit boss is a great budget option imo, I've had 2 of them now, and my new one seems higher quality than traegers, which are twice the price.
Why 2? Did it wear out from over use?
You tha man!
LETS GO SHAQ FULL TIME RUclipsR NOW MY BOY GOING UP YALL AINT READY
My opinion is a Alton Brown style large flower pot with a couple pie plates and a hot plate in the bottom. Can’t grill but I live up north where I’m only going to smoke something like once a year, makes good pork and is cheap as hell.
In your analogy, I use pans made of heavy duty tin foil.
Me as a vegetarian.
Nodding 'yes that is important Mr Shaquille'
"don skip this introduction"
wouldn't dream of it shaq
The only oven I can use in the AZ summers is a toaster oven... Everything else goes on the stovetop.
Also, Shaq: Have you ever looked into sun ovens? They concentrate sunlight with mirrors to cook food. It's kind of a gimmick but might be fun to play around with.
Those Pellet Grills though!
I don't even grill but I'll still watch
This channel is the capital B Best
I got a used pellet grill off of Craigslist for a damn reasonable price; that thing has quickly become the best grill I've ever owned. I actually had to RTFM to figure out how to work it, but once I knew what I was doing, it's been extremely reliable and easy to get great results.
I don't even own a yard, but I watched this intently. 👀 Great video as always!
This video made me hit the bell icon.
