How many briskets do you honestly think you can put on here successfully?
Hey Nate! I’ve done 2 at a time with no issues. With a shelf I’d suspect 3
B&B mesquite lump is my go to. I'm down in South Texas, just stumbled upon your channel. Enjoyed your video. Just a question, have you removed the baffle from your smoker? I removed mine first thing after my purchase. Added a stack extension and because of this, I quit burning the point of my briskets. My entire smoker is within 5° now as opposed to 30° difference with the baffle.
@@luv2smell I did remove the baffle. Glad you found us! I’ll be back making more content soon, life has been crazy this year. I’ve don’t a lot of mods to this pecos, check out our playlist for all of them! 🍻
Great video, just have one query and is I was watching one of Cowboy Kent Rollins posts on RUclips and he says not to use charcoal briquettes for cooking because of the carcinogens and glue that are in brickettes. Are brickettes safe to use for cooking?
The charcoal he was talking about does have harsh elements in them. But now adays, only kingsford still does that. The rest are compressed lump and good to go! B&B for me!
@@BrisketMedic thanks for your reply, when I saw his post I was a little freaked out as I haven't been charcoal grilling for all that long, thanks for the clarification
Good stuff Zach. 😎
I'm really fortunate to have a ton of wood here, so my method is a little different. I'll do a chimney of lump and then I'll throw on 3-4 thin splits and let that settle in as the base. I'll close it down earlier also just to get the temps going.
Takes about an hour total, but once you have that nice coal bed ready it means you're going to have a real smooth cook.
The coal bed is everything. 👊
Absolutely! When I was in central Texas we did similarly. But, for most backyard cookers, they’re buying firewood and cooking 10-15 times a year. I forget that often and wanted to reach out to them and show them how it can be done, and hopefully get them past the trepidation they may have about jumping into stick burners. 😎👍
@@BrisketMedic I'd definitely love to see more people using stick burners over pellet grills. Whole different level of BBQ.
Realistically it can be really difficult depending on location. Hope you can reach some folks and get them on the right path! 👊
Great video great information well presented thanks for sharing
Thank you! I hope this info can help!
Great information Zach! One of these days I'll fire up that old rusty offset I have!
Get after it! Lol thanks!
Great stuff Zach.
Thanks brotha
Thanks for the management tips , iv got a sq36 meadow creek off set smomer an really like, but I do struggle with dire management thanks again
Glad we can help out! Keep it up, every pit runs a little Different but once you get it down, you’ll have a blast!
Great tips thanks
@@BBQ_JerrY glad to help!
@@BrisketMedic I picked up a 2020 pecos cheap last week looking to
Get back into stick burner after years of hasty bake , primo , drum ,Gmg set and forget smokers I like to tinker. Outta all your mods what would u suggest to get her rollin best.
@@BBQ_JerrY I would say the MUSTs for me are- stack extension, firebricks in the firebox, baffle removal. Oh, and good thermometers !
Zach great video!!!! Tons of great info here. I wish I watched this before I bought my Brazos it would of saved me a lot of time. I am going to share this video with my friend that just bought a offset. Keep these videos coming you put out great content brother.
Thank you! I hope it can help new comers ease into the great world of BBQ!
Stumble on to your channel. I also have an old country. I am struggling with fire management. Your video had a lot of great tips 👍
Hey John! Glad it could help. Welcome!
Like your videos. Talking about fire management safety I notice you
use the top of your firebox to prepare your splits,
and a lot of them at one time. please be careful that it doesn't
catch your roof on fire. be safe!
Thanks for the compliment and concern! You bring up a good point, those splits do get rotated often to keep them from igniting! Now that I’ve insulated my firebox, I don’t even use it this way any longer.
Good info , but I have to disagree with your comment on kiln dried wood . I've been using it for 3 years and have no trouble establishing a coal bed out of it when it burns down .
Glad it works out for you, but in all facts/ it’s takes much more of the kiln dry wood to establish the same bed for less used otherwise. If that makes sense
I’m sorry how long do you wait after lighting the charcoal before throwing in the wood?
I ussually wait until it’s all burning, but before it’s all ashed over. So, it can vary but I think 30 mins is a good target time depending on coal bed size.
NIce tutorial Zach.. good info!!
Thank you! Hope you’re doing good
Very cool. Definitely some good info. Will come in handy if I ever pull the trigger on a offset.
Good stuff! Thanks brother
Great video! I'd love to see a video on fire management, tips & trips for your UDS setup. How do you prevent temp swings on windy days?
Windy days are absolutely fighting days. There’s two major factors to heat control- air flow and coal bed size. I’ll be coming out with fire management techniques and styles for multiple coolers, to include a UDS very soon! Thanks!
Very helpful information, Zach👍
Thanks! Glad to help!
With your fire bricks and Pecos, how often are you adding splits yourself?
I was adding a 3”x8” split every 30-45 mins. Still loading same amount of time, but smaller splits and less fuel consumption
@@BrisketMedic thanks! In between the Pecos and Brazos. Naturally prefer the thicker steel but was curious if it’s worth saving $500 for a few mods on Pecos.
@@ChristopherGonzalez-lo5zr if you have the money, spring on the brazos and do the same mods after cooking on it a while. I’ve got a few friends who did this and they’re very happy with the results
I have that exact same pit and never thought to shorten the sticks like that. Thanks for the video!
It has helped tremendously with fire management! Glad it can help, keep on rolling smoke my friend!
You got some good pointers here my brother
Thank you!
Awesome tips and info! -S
Thanks!

Thanks! We are just grinding away
