      @juliankirby9880 4 года назад

      I don’t know if you have checked into it yet, but check into the snake method. It helps you get a longer smoke at a lower temperature. It is generally used in kettle grills. But I don’t see why it wouldn’t work in one of these.

    • @juliankirby9880
      @juliankirby9880 4 года назад

    I have a grand Mac vertical smoker and I’ve watched a few videos, but have yet to see what the water tray sits on. The only thing I could see it sitting on is one of the grills. I only have two grills. So my question is, do you have a third grillor a way that the water pan catches inside? Mine will not catch anything. It will go straight down to the Kohl’s without a grill. Thank you for any help.

    • @andrewallason4530
      @andrewallason4530 11 месяцев назад +1

      You add more smoking wood every 90minutes or so. You only need to add more charcoal when you are smoking something that takes over 3 hours or so. The charcoal should last around 3 hours.
      Alternatively, you can use ‘manufactured’ briquettes that may last 4-6 hours.

    • @ogCANICA
      @ogCANICA 2 месяца назад

      I use a little of soaked and none soaked chips. I also definitely let my chips drain out more when I transfer them to the coals. Dripping chips will cut down the temp on the coals

Also, with my chimney....I am waiting 15 minutes....my coals look like yours when you pour em in...but I have trouble getting the temp above 200. Should I use more...I am filling the chimney...or wait longer? Or wait til the inside heats up..then add the wet chips....seems like the chips are cooling the coals when I add them.

    • @urcookin
      @urcookin 3 года назад

      Use the minion or snake method. You should get 8-10 hours. His method is good for quick smoking. Use 1/3 of the briquettes in your stack and let the charcoal that hasn’t been fired left alone in your charcoal basket. That method allows you to have a bunch of unburned lump so it will last way longer.

      +1 - Same here like Craig I don't see how more chips were added but not charcoal. Those mesquite burn super quick there's no way the temp remained after an hour never mind 90 min it would be all about gone. Hope someone can chime in on this

    • @IsraelTangaroaBirch
      @IsraelTangaroaBirch 7 лет назад +3

      get better charcoal and use the snake method and spread big size chunks of wet wood across the snake. You'll get 3+ hours easy.

    • @SilencedByYoutube
      @SilencedByYoutube 6 лет назад +1

      You don't add charcoal because in an enclosed environment like that, oxygen is restricted causing the charcoal to burn slower. 3 hours is nothing in that thing.

    @jamesahlgreen10 3 года назад +3

    this video is a joke to all who used it as a teaching tool .. once you get everything put back together for your cook you want to get the temp to 275° (do not use a shit ton of chacoal and wood chips as that will get you a high temp fire, start out using half a chiney and add charcoal and wood chips to raise temp) for chicken not 225° as its too low a temp for chicken .. for crispy skin put the chicken over direct heat for just a bit once IT has hit 165° (use a digital probe and check the chicken at thickest point of thighs) .. do not take the whole thing apart to add charcoal, wood chips or water as ypu will loose heat, that is what the side panel is for and only add a little bit charcoal and wood chips at a time or you will get flare ups in temperature .. meat absorbes smoke for only the first few hours so after that time frame you only need to keep an eye on charcoal and water levels .. these are not the "set it and forget it" easy bake ovens, i mean treagers or an other electrically monitored cooker, that you can walk away from once getting started .. they have to be maintained and watched so temps are maintained .. it will take some practice to get used to your cooker but in time some really good bbq will be hitting your table with great results and comments from family and friends .. sit back, have a beer or more and enjoy the process of making awesome food .. also dont over crowd the shelves like he did with the bottom rack of chicken .. you want smoke surrounding every part of the meat and touching stops that from happening .. if you are going to put quite a bit of meat on the racks then leave space between each piece so that the smoke as well as heat can get to all of it .. overcrowding the bottom rack will lower the temp of the upper rack as its blocking and absorbing the heat to cook .. invest in some S hooks so you can hang ribs from the top rack and fit more for larger cooks .. the only good advise this guy gave was not peeking (again thats why there is the side door to check coal and water level without disturbing anything else) .. good luck and i wish you all the best on your journey

      Guys: the door is not for adding wood. It exists to access the water pan and first rack of food. Thus, you have to unbuckle the bottom tray to access the fuel. Yea, I know, that doesn't make any sense.
