Thank you for doing this in 5 minutes. I actually got my woman to watch this and now I can get her to smoke our brisket while I go fishing. You're a lifesaver man!!!!
I was just kidding,,,,,,,,,,,kinda. lol! But I do have a wonderful woman. She's the best. Ain't no way I can leave her behind when it comes to fish'n either. ;)
I don't get to smoke as much as I would like, but this is my go to refresher video each year, thank you for making a true quick to the point video without all the promotional bs everyone else does. It's very appreciated!
Bro, I LOVE YOU!!! I bought a Texas smoker this weekend and just watched 2 hrs of freeking USELESS videos showing me what people smoke, without showing me HOW to smoke! Thanx for showing me, and others, how I should actually use it, you are the best! No where online do they actually show you how to use the woodchips etc on the charcoal! Keep up the good work!
Thanks a lot that's exactly what I was looking for. A likeable guy coming straight to point without babbeling like soooo many others. That's what I wanted as a primer before I start smoking.
Got my new offset smoker today for Father's Day, and I'm super excited to start smoking on it! I got a new Chargriller professional smoker! This video was very helpful, thank you from Texas!!!
Not sure if I'm stoned or just in love with the way he talks and isn't very professional in the video but explains it exactly how I want to understand it. Not saying he sucks, I love this. It just makes me feel at home and it does it with low production quality. Gonna check out the other videos and hope he gets my subscription.
From the UK. This video is absolutely brilliant! I had my side smoker and used it once, crucified the meat. That was 5 years ago! This video tells me exactly what I need to do! Cheers dude, wish me luck!
Perfect instruction! Finally got the idea how this device works and Lol I realized missing to buy a firebox. Everything becomes clear for me when I hear military style narrative, short and to the point. Thank you .
DUDE THAT WAS PERFECT! Short and to the point. My wife just got me one for my birthday because she knows I LOVE smoked meats. I’ve been bar b queuing for a while but never smoked meats. Really intimidated and excited at the same time. This helps! Thanks
I'm about to order my first ever offset smoker for about 150$ and was looking for a guide that explains how it works. You're video came out the best, no 15-20 minutes long blah blah videos, no distractions - just straight to the thing. Thank you man, you helped me a lot :)
I got my first offset smoker almost 2 years ago and still haven't used it! I've just been using it as a regular charcoal grill. This video really helped give me the confidence to give it a try though. I have my first batch of bacon I just finished curing and I'm going to smoke it today with some mesquite chips! Thank you for making this a quick and concise video!
I had an electric smoker....and was really disappointed. I just bought my first side car smoker, and your video was the best for sure. It was like super short, to the point, and reinforced what I already knew. I am going to check out your other stuff. Thanks a lot!
Thank you I am glad you explained how to use one in a short amount of time. I had been looking at those at Homedepot and wondered about how to use one. So basically one compartment is where you put your charcoal/wood for the fire and the heat and smoke generated fills the larger compartment where you put all the meat
Great, great video!👍🏼 Also, if your temperature stalls, you can also move your fuel source (logs) around ,or even flip them for an even burn. It's all about practice and learning how your off-set smoker works.
Thanks for this video! Just getting back to smoker after 20 years, using a Weber 310 gas grill with a Weber Universal smoker box and a Cave Tools box. Trying to figure out the next step up. This really helps.
Very nice! I am BRAND NEW and just bought an Oklahoma Joe Longhorn...looking forward to smoking! This was a very quick and to the point vid. Thanks for the tips!
My brother, thank you for ur services in the United States Army!great job on the grill good technique.. I just learned something new so now I'm on the grill thanks man
Thanks for the video! I've had one about a month now and just haven't had time to watch a 20 to 30 minute video and then cook on it! This was exactly what I was looking for!!!
Sean Dixon man glade it helped, I was the same way when I first started out, didn't want to watch a 30 min video. I tried my best to get the basics in 5 min.
Thanks, I nearly totally screwed up my first attempt with a smoker, I thought it went the other way, lol! You just saved me a whole lot of embarrassment!
Wow, major flashback. I had this same exact model over 20 years ago except that I got it on sale ($100 out the door) at Orchard Supply Hardware and it was missing the firebox. I had no idea it even needed a firebox. I had no idea how to smoke meats. So I treated it like a Weber. It worked fine as a regular grill. I even did some indirect by putting a fire at one end and tossing plum logs on top of the charcoal. Eventually it rusted out and collapsed. Later I discovered smoked meats and wound up buying a vertical propane cheap at Home Depot. And then that rusted out. I'm in the market now, and having studied different kinds of smokers, I'm realizing that was I had would have been ideal. Funny how that works out. I'd like to build one.
Dutch, thanks for keeping it simple. I have been using a Charbroiler gas BBQ and a Weber kettle for years and years. I enjoy outdoor cooking , now I want to do it 'the right way' since I am retired and have the time.Saw a Char Broiller Smoker Champ at Home Depot today, and the price is right. The Weber will be shit canned soon.I've talked to so many people about BBQ and Smoking and everyone is an expert with too many complicated rules to BBQ and Smoking.Your video hits the point and is 'to the point'. Thanks.
Got a "hand me down" smoke hollow ,, I'd never used an offset rig before BUT, I love it,, getting better with practice but,, it's all been AWESOME, holds bout 200* to 210*, smoke rolling the whole time,, put in a couple o sticks every 30 min or so, love it ❤️
Awesome video man! I have used an electric smoker for years, but just got a new grill that had this option. Can’t wait to use it! Thanks for taking the time to do this!!
@@nocando5365 I found that the usual briquettes I bought didn’t get enough heat but lump wood was far better. I bought a box of big pieces and they were superb with some wood chunks for heat and flavour. Also bought some probes so I could get more accurate temps which saves me from opening the hood too
@@asmarcrawford7880 Wood blocks can get the temperature up and seems to burn longer than charcoal but I did figure out how to regulate the temperature.
Ive watch alot of videos looking for the right info, I have to say mate this is the best and most simple and too the point. Thanks alot From Australia :)
Hey Dutch, thanks for this video. It was more informative to me, someone who has a smoker (just bought a Char-Griller 5050), than most videos I have seen so far. I have zero experience with *cooking* on a smoker, but I have experience eating smoked meats (he he). Anyway, I think I missed an important detail or explanation. You explained: 1. Charcoal in the smoker box, then after they turn white-hot, 2. Add wood that produces the smoke (can you add soaked wet chips to this side on top of the white-hot coals?), 3. WHY add the pan of water to the charcoal section of the grill? 4. Also, is there hot coals on the charcoal section - that's the detail/explanation I think I missed. Thanks in advance. Warron
Yea you can add wet chips if you want. I use logs or split logs in mine and they produce plenty of smoke. When I had an electric smoker I used wet chips all the time. Produced more smoke and got longer burns.
For some reason I am just now seeing this response; and you clearly replied back 1 year ago. I finally found 2 videos, and I am going to see if I can find a couple others. For me it about the perspectives and making sure I cover the bases of knowledge I really need. Thanks again.
So many folks try to make it complicated. It ain’t rocket surgery! I’ve cooked fine meals in trash cans, barrels, rusted out grills, camp fires, you name it. Just keep an eye on things and adjust accordingly.
Great video help me out a lot with my offset smoker I just got from Home Depot I don't have the same model that you had or have in this video but it's similar same thing and I like how you call about the vents on the side of the grill help me out a lot thanks again
Thanks for the explanation! I've been looking into getting one of these for a while but I've never quite understood how they work. The rib potential seems good lol
Good video. To the point. I don't know how ling I've had mine. It's a lot thinker metal than the ones they sell now. I cook/ smoke all kinds of stuff on it. Right now there's an 8lb ham on it. Temp is easy to maintain. A note, make sure to keep your thermometer probe clean otherwise it can give you a false readin. Love mine.It's in constant use. Did pork loin chops on it last night.
Perfect video.
Adrian Hopkins thank you
Thank you for doing this in 5 minutes. I actually got my woman to watch this and now I can get her to smoke our brisket while I go fishing. You're a lifesaver man!!!!
KB hahaha heck yes
KB You got you a good woman there🤠
I was just kidding,,,,,,,,,,,kinda. lol! But I do have a wonderful woman. She's the best. Ain't no way I can leave her behind when it comes to fish'n either. ;)
KB LoL good to hear. You know couples that fish together stay together 😃
Reminds of me the Brad Paisely song, "I'm Gonna Miss Her." Sounds like a great woman.
I don't get to smoke as much as I would like, but this is my go to refresher video each year, thank you for making a true quick to the point video without all the promotional bs everyone else does. It's very appreciated!
wearing a navy t-shirt-- with usa flag---what branch navy---my niece married a recruit now a brigadier general army or airforce i forget
Of all the videos that I viewed just to learn how to use my smoker, your video was the most practical and informative. Thanks!
34 years old and new to the world of grilling. Looking to buy a smoker, and I definitely appreciated your straight-forward explanation of everything.
The fishing hat and American flag shirt automatically let me know you know what you’re talking about 😂
LMAO I was thinking the same thing
Having a smoker, an American shirt, and a fishing hat tells you he's American
You sure it was that stuff and not that round belly?
@John Days Down here in deep South texas, we use Mesquite because its in excessive supply and great for dark meats.
Bro, I LOVE YOU!!! I bought a Texas smoker this weekend and just watched 2 hrs of freeking USELESS videos showing me what people smoke, without showing me HOW to smoke!
Thanx for showing me, and others, how I should actually use it, you are the best!

Just found this video. Had my smoker for a couple months and just purchased the side firebox and found this video very helpful.
Awesome video! Husband left for work and I’m clueless how to get the temp back up and you just helped!
I'm about to order my first ever offset smoker for about 150$ and was looking for a guide that explains how it works. You're video came out the best, no 15-20 minutes long blah blah videos, no distractions - just straight to the thing.
Thank you man, you helped me a lot :)
How that $150 smoker doing so far?
I just bought one of these on sale 1 hour ago, and I'm glad I saw your video first. To the point, no BS. Thank you!
You just answered my questions better then anyone else... Glad I found your channel
Thank you! I found an old smoker at a garage sale and this is just what I needed to get started!
I got my first offset smoker almost 2 years ago and still haven't used it! I've just been using it as a regular charcoal grill.

Just put mine together and will be taking her on an inaugural cook, wanted to know more real quick and you answered some of my questions. Thank you

Usually these 'in under 5 minutes' videos are useless but this is quality! Thanks dude
I had this grill for about 10 years. Loved it!
Great, great video!👍🏼

My brother, thank you for ur services in the United States Army!great job on the grill good technique.. I just learned something new so now I'm on the grill thanks man
Thank you for making this 5 minutes. Just wanted to know the basics of tending the fire and got tired of 30 minute videos😂
Thanks for the video! I've had one about a month now and just haven't had time to watch a 20 to 30 minute video and then cook on it! This was exactly what I was looking for!!!

Appreciate the straight forward explanation on setting smoker/ grill temps!
Thank you, it's been so hard to find a video to manage temp, you did a great job explaining.
You have done wonders for me in 5mins, big thanks!!
Great video, you're a natural teacher. I really appreciate your clear instructions!
Now this is what I call an instructional video. Just the meat and potatoes. Thanks for keeping it short but very informational. Keep smoking!
Thank you for not being a 15 minute video on how the different types of wood can impact the smokiness. I just wanted to start smoking
Thanks, I nearly totally screwed up my first attempt with a smoker, I thought it went the other way, lol! You just saved me a whole lot of embarrassment!
Great video Ty. Ive been using a kettle grill for years and thought there wouldnt be a big difference but there is!
Thank you so much...simple and straight to the point. I didn't know about the pan of water trick so I will try that.
Thanks my man you're a life saver, quick and straight to the point!
Literally perfect video thank you I just started smoking and this made it so easy to understand

Great video sirr!! Very helpful . I’ve been having troubles with my temperature control but now I know why
Dutch's quote of the day... master the dampener!

Glad I could help
Thanks for the info, just about to get into offset smoking and the stuff you shared was concise and to the point - zero bullshit!
Short video gave me so much game I MUST watch the longer videos. Thanx for the game Dutch 💯
Thank you! I bought a house recently with a big smoker and I'm looking forward to using it.
Finally! Watched 4-5 videos before this one. You finally gave me what I was searching for. Thanks. Gonna smoke a pork belly next week.
Can you use wood chips instead of charcoal?
@@asmarcrawford7880 Wood blocks can get the temperature up and seems to burn longer than charcoal but I did figure out how to regulate the temperature.
What has more of a smokey taste? Charcoal or wood?
@@asmarcrawford7880 No contest, wood.
