While there are definitely times that the pit can make a difference, it's up to the pitmaster to overcome: in other words, to not make excuses. Now, this little grill has a relatively shallow cover. There is a limit to what you can cook. But, if you size appropriately, I think we demonstrated that smoking is a hobby that can be enjoyed by anyone who has a bit of outdoor space: even if their budget is limited. Thanks for watching!
Wow, thanks a lot man. I’ve been doing ribs, burgers, pork chops, and bratwurst, but I’ve been wanting wanting to do this on my little cheap grill at home, but I really wasn’t too confident in my abilities to do this unless I had a much more expensive grill set up.
Appreciate you for this video sir! Just bought the expert grill yesterday and made some good ass burgers this afternoon. Your video really helped me out since I never grilled before. Cheers bro!
Great video. During my RV Full Time Living days I had The Suitcase Grill. Square with folding legs. It had top vent and side vent with four holes on the side opposite the side vent. I used metal tape to seal the four holes. When smoking, I used the Snake Method. I did a lot of Pork Butt's & Chuck Roasts. Snake method provides 8 hours of low and slow temps. With minimal lifting the lid.
Glad I watched. I have been learning grilling and a majority of the success seems controlling the temp using vents. Now it’s practice, practice time on my Weber portable charcoal.
Thank you for using the expert grill brand I'm new and in an apartment so it just has to be small and cheap. I was going to get the bigger seventy five dollar one and get fancy. Thanks again.
In case anyone was wondering, the formula for converting standard burgers to metric burgers is (Standard Burger * .75) + 1.39. If you weren't wondering, at least now you know. What cuts of meat would you like to see cooked on this tiny grill?
Appreciate the kind words. I think we’ve all kind of “been there” regarding buying cheap grills and just starting out. Hoping this appeals to those folks.
Nice cook out on the cheap grill. I used to have one of those flat grills but I loved to smoke meat. I couldn't fit a tall enough meat for that grill. That's a hassle to clean up the used coals ash from the previous cook.
If you understand the general concept of bbq-ing, you can cook a great tasting piece of meat just about on anything. But part of bbq-ing is buying the gadgets, grills, tools, accessories, etc, tweaking the recipes… It’s fun using different methods of cooking your food.
Another perfect example of how it's the pitmaster and not the cooker that makes great BBQ. Well done sir.

You are EXACTLY the kind of person we'd hoped to reach. I'm very glad your burgers turned out. Happy grilling!
underrated channel, very well made video, love it
Glad you're enjoying it!
Really great primer on charcoal cooking! Wish I had seen this ages ago.

Glad you enjoyed it. Yep, this little grill is about perfect for apartment living, I'd imagine.

Why you didn’t put the vents over the meat instead of over the charcoal
This was a fun video. Great idea. Keep it up. Cool content.

Yeah, I had the same issue here. Had to pick a smaller piece of meat. This wouldn't be my first choice as a smoker, but it works in a pinch!
Great video
Thanks!

Do a Maryland pit beef and/or wings on this little grill
Planning on doing wings soon!

Exactly: the experimentation is what really makes it a lot of fun!
Carne asada 👍🏻
I believe brisket is the limit. Not the sky as so stated.
Fair dues.
So what was the total cook time?
Total cook on this one was just shy of 5 hours, I believe.
cheap brisket is $60 nowadays
