OFFSET SMOKER FIRE MANAGEMENT FOR BEGINNERS | How To Burn A Clean Fire | Fatty's Feasts

- Опубликовано: 9 июн 2024
- The most important thing when it comes to cooking DELICIOUS barbeque every time, is burning a clean fire. You can use the best woods, the best rubs, the best binders, etc, but nothing will taste good if you can't burn a consistent, clean fire. Fire management was something that stressed me out when I first started backyard barbeque. I seemed to always have trouble keeping the wood lit and getting consistent airflow. However, over the last few years, I've figured a thing or two out that has helped me become a better pit master, that I want to share with you all in this video. My hope is I can help you solve some of the problems you may have with your smoker. I also want to hear from anyone who has tips or tricks they want to share. Be sure to drop your thoughts in the comments! Thanks for watching!

Do you have any tips or tricks for beginners that I didn't mention in the video? Let us know below!
@@user-om2tm4fm7x I think my first question is what type of smoker are you using? It doesn't sound like it's an offset if you're using chips.
@@user-om2tm4fm7x Ok I understand now. If it's a very cheap offset, it would be tough to use splits like I did here anyway, since it's typically too small. Charcoal is the way to go for sure as the main source of fuel. But, I still would not use "chips" as those are for propane smokers where you can soak them or use them in a smoker box for a gas grill. In your case, could you get a bag of wood chunks? Those shouldn't be too bad to find, but I don't know for sure in your area. I'm assuming if you can get chips, you can get chunks.
@@user-om2tm4fm7x Yeah small baseball size is good. Slap one of those guys on every 20 min or so for that smoke flavor. The problem with the chips I have in your case is they just burn fast, at least from what I've seen on offsets the size you described. You could try wrapping in foil, but I think the chunks would serve you so much better.
I'm not a beginner, but I don't mind admitting that this is the best beginners and experienced BBQ lesson on fire management on the Tube ! Thanks so much for your time and consideration too keep our faith and motivation up when we may feel that our cooker has got a mind of it's own, because , brother you have given us BBQ brethren hope !!!
I’m so glad to hear you appreciated this video and it means a lot that you think it’s one of the best lessons you’ve seen! I know it’s so frustrating sometimes, especially on the cheaper smokers.
This guy is a beginner you are a grifter.
Let me say this, I am guessing you are a hell of a father because you are good at explaining and keeping a situation as common sense and as plain as it gets.
I am actually not a father but I'm glad you appreciated my talkative nature 😂😂
I gotta find a wood place. Hate buying it at the store.
@@FattysFeasts don't wait too long teacher
@@cfletcher1723 I'm waiting as long as I can 😂😂
Shag him
I too am not a beginner but always looking for new tips and tricks. This is one of the best videos/demonstration on fire management I have ever seen. Nice job!
Thanks man! Means a lot to hear that!
Awesome instruction. The corny jokes helped, too. Never thought I'd watch a RUclips video about a guy's wood, but here we are! 😁
Funny how life works that way right? 😂
One thing I picked up for pretty cheap to use when smoking is a pair of Harbor Freight welding gloves. Put those on and I can reach into the firebox and move coals and wood to my hearts content.
Oh hell yes! Harbor Freight is awesome first of all, but that's an awesome tip!
As a beginner I definitely think it’s easier to avoid temperature spikes by using small chunks of wood and adding them more often
You got the right idea! When I started, everything I saw said use bigger splits, but I just couldn’t get it to work well.
24 yr old just started smoking and messed up some chicken quarters for my first smoking cook. I was bummed as to why it came out so bitter tasting like complete smoke. Then I watched this video and realized it was bad smoke. Can’t wait to do some test runs knowing what I know now! Thank you, brother! 🙏
I just bought a smoker and this video was awesome. My confidence level has gone up exponentially, you did a great job. 🎉🎉🎉
Glad I could help. I'm sure you'll love it. Happy smoking!
Thanks for being so detailed and actually showing the fire as you explained managing it. I’m almost done with my first offset build and looking forward to trying to learn this all myself with your tips!
That's awesome that you're building your own! I wish I had the skills to do that. I'm glad I could help!!
This is by far one of the best reviews on the offset smoker i have seen. Thank you very kindly.
Glad you enjoyed it!
One of the most informational video's I have seen for the regular smoker, THANK YOU!!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!!
Thanks for all the effort you put into this video. I've been working between a pellet smoker/grill (not a fan) and a weber kettle (solid, but small) and really want to get into an offset smoker next spring. Studying hard, and again appreciate your video here very much!
Glad I could help! You definitely can't beat offset smoking. It'll be a learning experience for sure, but once you get it, you'll never turn back!
I like the offset, vut it is alot more babysitting and storage for the wood.
@@chuckheinch It's worth the hassle for some great tasting bbq
This is a long video and I appreciate the length and depth you went into this. I"m new to bbq and I like to know exactly how things are working and why they are. This has been so great to watch. Thank you so much. Subscribed!
Glad you appreciate the attention to detail. I was the same way when I started. And of course thank you for the sub! Hope you enjoy some of the other stuff I have on this channel.
By far one of the videos, I have seen on this subject!! I definitely will be running test smokes to get my pit dialed in. Thank you!!
Glad you enjoyed the video and found it helpful! Happy smoking!
This is the best video on this subject I've seen. Cookout coach covered a lot of this in a short ammount of time, but this feels like the full course on backyard offset fire managment. Even though it's 30 minutes long not a single word is wasted.
Glad you enjoyed it and appreciated the attention to detail. I haven’t checked out his video yet but I definitely will!
I have found that using wood about the size of a Pringles container works best for me. I normally buy wood by the truckload and store it similar to the way you do. I bought a load that was supposed to be seasoned oak and hickory. I looked through some of it the next week and there was lots of pine and about half of the load was still "green". Never bought from that guy again. I even told him that I was using it in my smoker!!!
Oh my god…that’s a nightmare. I’d be so pissed if I saw pine in my load. I’m not fully convinced mine was completely dry enough either. Definitely is now but the first few months had me questioning it a bit.
There is such a thing as “too clean” a fire - and you lose flavor as a result. I’m not advocating heavy white dirty smoke, but no need to stress over every little puff of smoke. Throw a prewarmed split on and close it up. As long as you are not using splits WAY to big (as you pointed out) the process is quite forgiving in the long run.
You make a valid point. Thanks for throwing that out there!
This video is perfection!!!! Helped me to just go with your set by step and then just add wood or let it die slightly to try to adjust and get temp back. This was so helpful man!
Glad you enjoyed it and I could help you out!!
Definitely helped for a beginner man thank you for your videos
I’m sure you’ve watch chuds bbq. The dirty vs clean smoke is debatable. Jirby, Jeremy Yoder, and Brad have all confirmed you don’t want clear smoke for the first part of the cook. Once I saw that I was actually able to maintain a more consistent temperature and the smoke profile on my food was better. It also allowed me to use larger splits. And I control the temp by how I lay them in the coals. The splits are long enough that they can bridge over the coals perpendicular to the smoker for a little air gap and if it starts to run away I can turn it at a bit of an angle and burry it in the coals to varying degrees to bring the temps down a bit. Just another tool in the box for running that fire.
Maybe I came off a little wrong in the video, but I did mention it’s near impossible to burn a crystal clean fire at low temps and that burning a somewhat dirty fire isn’t the worst thing in the world. I have a brisket video coming out soon where I explain that a little better. I like your idea about the splits. I’ll have to give that a try!
@@FattysFeasts no I heard you say it. I completely agree that there’s a lot more forgiveness in a cook. What I was trying to get at is the consensus is changing to say that you want “dirtier” smoke for the first part of the cook. Not billowing white smoke but also not crystal clear. Looking forward to the video. I recently picked up a pecos so it’s nice seeing videos on something similar. I was rocking on old 1/4” Oklahoma joes before this one. Tough having consistent temps on a 30”x16” cook chamber. The pecos is way easier to run.
@@AlaskaBrisketCo I've heard great things about the pecos! Some days I regret spending up for this one 🤣 I just didn't want to take the chance with out temps up in the northeast.
@@FattysFeasts you are preaching to the choir I’m up in anchorage Alaska. I ran my pit at -20 this last winter. I don’t think the pecos will be able to keep up in those temps. The pecos is a place holder till I build an 80 gallon pit out of a couple 3/16” tanks I have. If I had the opportunity to pick up a brazos I would have done it for sure.
No such thing as clean fire.
You're going to get injured splitting your wood in that position. Never put yourself on the side of the splitter like this.
If I were using a bigger splitter, I would agree, but I don’t believe these splits are big enough to do any damage.
I agree with Josh McBride. I have a small splitter like yours and I've had some small splits fly off the end and land 20-30 feet away. Those were mostly dense thick branches and not big log splits but I would err on the side of caution. The kinetic energy of some of those are surprising.
@@FattysFeasts Until a log goes POP and clubs you right in the nuts.
Thanks very much for the video mate. I really appreciate the time you took, plus your way of explaining everything was easy to understand. Great stuff 👍
Glad you enjoyed it and found value! Cheers!
You are super entertaining and knowledgeable. Keep up the good work. High quality, fun and informative video.
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you, this is what i was looking for. very precise and on point teaching for the beginner.
Awesome! Glad I could help out. If you have any other questions, don't be afraid to ask!
Omg
Yes, yes, yes 🔥loved you talking about your wood, size , and thickness
And of course making sure we all stay clean, adjusting our wood position while keeping the
Fire going🧘
What wisdom bro
Thanks it was truly good for me!
You are the grill master 💯
Can’t wait….
Definitely going to feed many a whole lot of amazing Meat!!!
Glad I could help out! Happy smoking!
Perfect video for a beginner like me who is using an affordable offset smoker... Thanks brother.
Glad I could help! Happy smoking!
Thank you, very informative. Every one always talks about the finished product. Lots of questions answered, and I thought I had all the answers.
Thank you! I try to always show all the important parts. How you get there is way more important than the finished product, in my opinion.
Absolutely amazing informative video! Great info! I sincerely appreciate it
Glad I could help and you enjoyed it!
Thank you brotha
Loved your vid!!
Im a first timer getting ready to put together my first offset smoker!
I love to bbq and this going to be a challenge using this
But like you said learn by trial and error!.. Appreciate what you do for the bbqing community😊
Keep doing what you do!🤙
Nice!! So glad I could help! If you have any other questions, don't hesitate to reach out!
Dude, my first smoker experience was a nightmare. Giving it another try tomorrow, and will employ a lot of this information. Best one I’ve found, so thank you.
Hopefully it went well!!
This was fantastic. I appreciate the help. Going to try the extended stack for sure.
Awesome! Let me know how it works out!
Thanks for the advice! Great video. The wood size helps alot.
That was one of my biggest struggles in the beginning. Glad I could help!
I am not new to smoking in a general, but new to offset fire box smoking.
I learned a great deal from this video. Thank you!
Glad I could help! It is definitely a different animal!
Thanks for the great, informative vid! I just got an old country Brazos and really appreciate your advice on fire management. Soon as I got it home, I took out the heat baffle, threw away the tuning plates, and extended the smoke stack, which really improved confection and promoted better evenness in the cook chamber.
Nice! Glad I could help! Have you done a cook on it yet??
This was the best video I’ve watched so far on smokers. You deff deserve to be gifted a new smoker from that company you mentioned. Thanks for all the tips !
HAHA I wish! Glad you enjoyed it!
Fantastic video! I finally have a much better understanding of fire management. Thank you!
Awesome! Glad I could help!
I have been grilling n smoking for a good while and am a RUclips nut. This is by far the best video I have ever seen on fire management. Well done sir!
Glad to hear you enjoyed it! Happy smoking!
I’m a beginner smoker, and look forward to using your tips and tricks. Very well explained.👍🏼
Glad I was able to help!!
Amazing video thank you
Thank you for the video just got my first offset smoker and trying to learn how to smoke with it vs what I'm use to doing on my charcoal grill. Your video has helped me with not freaking out over a little white smoke.
Glad I could help! Yeah it’s definitely a major change when you start using an offset. I used to freak anytime I had a little smoke also but at the end of the day, it’s no biggy 😃
This video was awesome….saved for sure…I am not a first timer, but recently bought an offset after 13 years away from one. Need to rebuild my fire mgmt capability. Keep up the good work.
Glad to hear you're back in the game and glad I could help!
Great video. Thanks
Extremely informative! Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank-you sir, cut and dry honesty. Smoke on!
Glad you enjoyed it!

Excellent. I needed this.
Thanks man.
Glad I could help!
Thank you for a very thorough video for beginners, at 61 an old dog can learn new things ! Appreciate you
Glad you enjoyed it and I (a young buck as some say) could help!! 😁
Ahhh hahahaha lessss go!
I started smoking with an off set stick burner about 30 years ago. I no longer have that smoker. Since then I've used electric smokers, propane smokers, ceramic smokers, my trusty 22" Weber and finally pellet smokers. I'm proud to say that i am not the owner of a Oklahoma Joe off set. I'm like a kid on Christmas! I'm happy to come full circle. This video is the bomb; so much great information! I heading off to watch all of your other videos.
Can’t beat the flavor of the offset! Glad you came back to one. Also glad you liked the information in this video and I hope you like some of my others!
The video popped up for me on youtube so I clicked. I was pleasantly surprised when I saw this was a great video on fire management. I'm not a rookie but you gave me a couple tips like putting another temp probe by the stack and building a larger wood fire first rather than using charcoal. Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thankyou Sir, for your detailed explanation. Much love from Australia
Absolutely! Cheers!
Straight up forward thank you sir have step my game up.
Glad I could help! Happy Smoking!
That was really helpful, thank you!
Glad I could help. Happy smoking!
The wood 🪵 part. 😂 as soon as you said John 🗣 John has great 🪵😂
Glad you appreciated that 😂
Thank you for the tips! Excellent content.
Thank you!
Great, great tips! Thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it!!
I am really glad you made this video. I think we have the same exact set up down to the water pan that you are using. I was looking for content because I have been getting the temp swings mainly when I add wood. I'm gonna try the smaller pieces. I am using almost the same diameter splits but they are longer. Thanks for the advise.
Glad you found it! I did the same thing at first...Thin splits that were way too long, because that's what I saw other people doing. It really comes down to trial and error. Let me know how it goes!
I'm really glad u made this video just started smoking and I need all the help
Glad I could help! If you have any other questions, let me know!
Dude, great vid. I have a VERY similar smoker and I agree with this entire great video. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
thank you for this video , i learn a lots of new tips , im a 72 yrs old men who loves to cook out or smoke it , and a appreciated all this information , blessings and good luck
Thanks and I'm glad I could provide you some tips!!
Thanks for this.....excellent advice!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I’ve watched so many fire management videos but this 1 has been the most beneficial. I learned the biggest issue I had was my coal bed. Today was the most stress free cook I had thanks to this video
That's awesome! I'm so happy to hear I made fire management less stressful for you. Believe me, I know it can be a complete pain with just one thing not going right!
@FattysFeasts Not to sound like a total Duh, but what is the benefit of using a coal bed? I'm fairly new & using a smaller vertical gas smoker. It has a small tray that rests slightly above the "burner" that allows me to put a small amount of wood on. I use commercial brand chunks & chips. I have a terrible time w/dirty smoke. I never seem to get to that light blue phase. Either my wood burns too fast or too slow. I maybe get about an hour out of it. I definitely need gasket tape, it has gaps & rarely do I get it up to 275°f. Because of this I bought a bag of charcoal hoping it would help up the smoker temp when I cooked. The few times I tried the charcoal, I didn't seem to notice any difference, not in the temp, the wood burn, or the flavor. Was I not using enough maybe or was I doing it wrong?
Great video ….I’ve learned a lot,everything was explained very well…Thanks alot
Very glad I could help!
@@FattysFeasts he

I never even thought of being the pit master at a bbq. But your explanation has given me a new goal. Thanks
Glad I could inspire you!! Same thing happened to me. It's a lifestyle, but a fun one for sure!
Good material and information!!! Appreciate it.
Appreciate you!
Thank you. Awesome insite.

Thanks Chris. I'm in the market for a offset smoker and your video helps loads. I've used charcoal bbqs and got good flavor. Looking forward to great.
Glad you’re looking to upgrade. You won’t be disappointed!
Very very helpful. Thank you
Glad I could help!
Thank you sir. Have kamado sussed now moving to offset. The firebox open on new logs was great advice. Much love 🤙🏾
Glad I could help! Happy smoking!
Thanks for the knowledge
No problem!!
Great video mate... Very helpful information here.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I have been cooking on a stick burner for at least twenty years and your video is right on you have done a fantastic job especially on dirty smoke is going to happen and it's ok and pointing out that not all smokers are the same just like beef or pork no two pigs cook alike again I certainly do appreciate your time in making this for the beginners I know it's very hard to get it right and some give up after one or two cooks that's a shame hell even I make mistakes after twenty years of BBQ it's all bout what you learned from your mistakes thanks again
I appreciate the kind words. I'm all about transparency and no one is perfect, especially when it comes to BBQ. I was extremely discouraged when I first started and it took a while to get everything dialed in, but once you do, it's second nature. I actually just made a video yesterday cooking a brisket and the bark was NOT good and I have no idea why, but I'll still be posting it since I want people to see that it's not always going to work out perfect!
Thanks Triple F! Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Excellent video
Really helpful, many thanks. Looking to get the same smoker very soon
Nice! Let me know if you have any questions when you get it!
Mate, this video was awesome. I did my first cook at the weekend (leg of lamb) and it was gorgeous but I was constantly creating dirty fires, this has helped me understand why and taken the stress I felt away. Nice one
I’m glad this video could help you out! I had the same struggles originally and won’t lie, still do from time to time on this smoker. Hope the lamb turned out awesome!
Great video! Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Been getting better with each smoke!!
Hell yes! Glad to hear it!
Thanks for all the good info
Any time!
What a great video. Thanks man!
Glad you enjoyed it!!
Great job and nice tips for beginners. I think the most important tip you shared was the size of the wood. Like you, I first thought that bigger was better and it drove me f'n insane. Huge temp spikes, dirty smoke and constantly fanning the fire to keep it going. So like you again 😁, I bought a wood splitter and already had a miter saw in my wood shop. Game changer!!! Again, nice job and keep up the good work!
Glad to hear someone else had the same problem! It was definitely extremely frustrating. The saw and splitter really do make life so easy!
🎉THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND EFFORT THIS IS JUST GREAT 👍🏼 VIDEO !!!
I have smoked about 3 to 4 times, and this video explains alot of what I went through, ill be a pro after watching your video!!
BIG THANK YOU !!! 💥💯💯💯
Hell yeah!!! Glad you enjoyed it and learned some things! Let me know how your future cooks go!
Very helpful thanks
Glad I could help!
I learned some thing tonight Thanks

I agree with Joe! Great video !
Glad you enjoyed it!
This was a awesome video. Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it!
I've grilled with charcoal all my life, but got an offset smoker and was so excited to do my first pork butt. I made the rub and smoked it for about 7 hours and the texture was perfect. Made the sauce from a friend's Carolina recipe which tasted awesome. Tried some and it was horrible. Thanks so much for the informative video because my problem was dirty smoke. Didn't realize that smoke billowing out when I added wood would totally ruin a great butt. Now I'm going back and watch more of your videos and subscribed so I can keep up new ones. Thanks so much for this!!!
I too thought the whole "more smoke is better" thing originally, before I really started digging in. Glad I could help! Let me know if you have any other questions!
Awesome job 👍 love your wood you use...
Thank you!! 😁
Great video. I’ve been spoken for about 15 years and still love to watch a helpful video. You use smaller splits than me and I’m going to try your method tomorrow. 12 pound brisket and our weather is in the teens in west Texas tomorrow but I ain’t scared! Thanks. SMOKE ON!
That’s awesome man! I’m glad I could help. I’m the same way. Love seeing other people’s methods. Let me know how it goes. Up here in CT it’s actually very mild but I know in the next few days it will be brutally cold again 😩
@@FattysFeasts Just finished an 11 hour cook. Started the day at 12 degrees finished at 24. Used smaller splits and liked it. Thanks! Merry Christmas!
@@jhyde321 Ahhh that's a nice warm smoking day right there! Glad it worked out. Merry Christmas to you as well!
Great video thanks
Alot of great info
