As long as you have spare bricks and a Jerry rigged wire hanger grate grabber to raise/lower the grate... then you made yourself an Asado grill. It would be hard to find a better way to BBQ if you have the patience and passion.
@@zacharyarmendariz1033 I'm a white guy in Ohio but was taught asado by an Argentine. Wood embers are the best grilling method in the world. I imported a grate, brasero, and plancha and never looked back. It is also more fun. Instead of raise/lower device I slant the whole grate.
I'm so glad that when I came here to say that the Weber kettle was Superior that I saw so many comments saying the same thing lol. It's all I ever use. My propane grill is rotting on the side of the house. My Weber is 15 years old and still going strong
Pro tip: Put your charcoal grill on your composite deck with the bottom vents open so hot ash and grease can leave lasting memories for future generations.
@@jim78 Exactly, I love it. They're so opposite that they work for different things. I have a Traeger 780, and a 36 inch Blackstone sitting next to it.
I have a Traeger 780, and a 36” Blackstone. It’s like comparing a wrench and a hammer. I love my Traeger for the simplicity, and it probably gets the most use, but it’s my worst smoker, and my worst grill. Jack of all trades, master of none. I would, hands down buy a griddle and a Weber kettle if I was starting over.
@@jaredbaratono897 Interesting. I've used a Weber kettle a lot and don't really like charcoal at all. I smoke all kinds of stuff on the traeger and love the versatility. It was my only grill for years.
@@calebcross758 I enjoy cooking with charcoal. My Traeger model just doesn’t get hot enough to put a good sear on a burger or steak. If I didn’t have so many ways to cook them, maybe I would play around with them on the Traeger more.
Shipping is expensive if you're not a mega corporation with lots of leverage or China abusing the system. Go ahead and try to ship something that large yourself and you'll see.
@@ProfessorBidoof You don't know how it works, apparently. China just dumps shipments in our ports and the post office is required to deliver it by law, even if Temu or whoever isn't paying for it. Small American companies don't have that option. They'll have to pay the full retail price of shipping with either USPS or UPS/FEDEX and they are not cheap for packages.
Still below cost. Usps label is about that for the size and weight. Losing money on the item and then they have to pack them up. Guess they have to dump em in a landfill. 😢
Traeger smokers are not the optimal way to cook a burger since they cannot reach a high enough temperature to sear properly. My Traeger Texas smoker tops out around 440F. Pellet smokers are fantastic for low and slow cooking, since you don't spend 8-12 hours babysitting a wood fire and loading in wood chips every half hour for the first 4 hours. Pellet smokers are an "EASY" button for brisket and pork butt. If you want more wood smoke flavor then use a pellet tube for extra smoke the first few hours. Experiment with different wood pellet fuels, they make a huge difference in final product. I like Bear Mountain pecan or oak pellets. Knotty Wood makes great almond, prune, and wine-infused almond pellets.
Burgers on my pit boss are amazing but the gas grill is way faster. Depends on the urgency. Or if you want to spend 3 beers minimum letting the pellet grill get up to temp.
Talk about apples and oranges. In a burger contest i'm giving it to blackstone. Crispy smash burgers plus you can sautee onions, peppers mushrooms at the same time. Every man should own a pellet grill, a charcoal offset and a blackstone.
1. I get the feeling the whole of this video is for you to end up with two awesome grills gratis. More power to you. 2. You're slimming down! Awesome, bro.
The blackstones are nice cause u can cook alot of stuff that would usually fall through the racks on other grills but that being said if u have a gas stove and cast iron cookware its basically the same as a Blackstone . And the trager seems like its basically a smoker that can get up to grilling temps
No bs currently I have a Traeger, a Blackstone, and a Oklahoma Joe propane, charcoal, and wood smoker in the front yard of my house. On the back deck, I have 2 more Traegers. We are a family that has a hot grill 6 out of 7 days per week on average.
Please do a giveaway for all the remaining tongs. Allow people to enter their friends. That would be a hilarious prize. Honestly if you charged $0.50/entry I'd probably spend $20 on entries for my friends to have a chance of getting a mystery pallet of random tongs.
The Blackstone is for smash burgers. You need that crust before you flip. The traeger is gonna get the pellet flavors and is better with thicker patties.
If you don't click your tongs, you're automatically disqualified. Even if you're grilling on an old oil drum, a wire shopping cart, or one of these fancy things. Gotta click.

Love the famous last words “yeah that’s not going anywhere”😂😂
Weber kettle charcoal grill.
My Favorite
Cheap and good.
@@JohnShalamskas Not so cheap anymore
I love mine
Best bbq ever
Meanwhile me: iron grate on some bricks and a wood fire
Did... did we just become best friends?
Can I join the friend group?@@TheBoundlessNexus

He’ll yeah! Keep it simple.
Love both! And my favorite is my charcoal Weber kettle!

Immediately bought 2 pairs of tongs. Click click baby.
Pro tip: Put your propane grill as close as possible to the vinyl siding.
Pro tip: Put your charcoal grill on your composite deck with the bottom vents open so hot ash and grease can leave lasting memories for future generations.
"It's a hamburger, made out of meat, on a bun, with nothing. Add ketchup if you want, I couldn't care less."
That's a deep cut!

Comparing apples to oranges. Both are great but you can’t make smash burgers on a Traeger and you can’t smoke a brisket or pork butt on the blackstone
Might be the best video yet
The Weber Kettle!
Charlie aint putting out hard hitting comparison tests like this!
Or do the right thing. Have a traeger and a Blackstone sitting next to each other on your deck 🤣
thats the way to do it. i have both love them for different reasons

1000 is not in my budget. +Pellets
400 is not in my budget
I'm going with a Weber charcoal.
Don’t forget to pick up some tongs

$10 shipping on a pair of tongs? You'd think I live in Antarctica
This is is why they arent selling lol. should just package them with t shirts.

6 minutes into watching this video I ordered 2 sets of tongs and a Grillfriend t-shirt…. Now back to watching the video!
I discovered this channel recently and I'm not going anywhere.
One is an oven, the other is a giant frying pan. It’s like comparing square dance dresses against a deep sea unmanned submarine.
Wanted to buy tongs but $9.49 shipping on a $4.50 item was tough
Same here
Still below cost. Usps label is about that for the size and weight. Losing money on the item and then they have to pack them up. Guess they have to dump em in a landfill. 😢
Quiet.@@NotFromConcentrate
well buy more!
THEYRE 4.50

Try cooking a brisket or pork butt on a Blackstone 😆 two different tools!
Talk to Grocery Outlet, they will probably buy all your tongs
That was a solid ending. "RELEASE THE HOUNDS!"😂😂
I bought 4 tongs..I'm supporting
Today we're comparing the semi-truck and the formula 1 racing car to figure out the better vehicle.
One's a smoker one's a griddle. They're both good. Get both. And a Weber Kettle while you're at it.
Blackstone isn't a grill. Fight me!
@@Sea_Jay 😂
No it’s not. It’s a griddle
Yep, this is like apples to oranges comparison.
THANK YOU! They might as well be cooking inside in a frying pan.
So hibachi grills aren't grills? It's a flat top grill not a grated grill.
I'm so glad they gave some to the dog!! I was begging for them to give him some harder than bernie (?) was😂😂😂
Today on You Betcha we compare apples to oranges things so we can justify them as a business expense.
Myles you’re looking good my man! Also another banger and love the podcast too boys. Cheers 🥂 ice mountain all day
You guys gotta be doin more videos with the 4 of yuh. Really enjoyed this one
Ordered five tongs because you’re the best damn salesman I’ve ever seen
one is a Grill the other is a Griddle 2 completely different things. I have both.
Wow miles you look great you looking very in shape then 2 years ago
When he said find out if more money equals more flavor my brain automatically responded with welcome to Donut

I purchased 6 tongs, thank you so much 🙏
tongs and a vest ordered for that autumn chill that's headed our way in about a month
1. I get the feeling the whole of this video is for you to end up with two awesome grills gratis. More power to you. 2. You're slimming down! Awesome, bro.
Love seeing all the boys in one video 🤩
The "No mister tax man I definitely used it for work" videos are my favorite. They should suck but they're so dumb and funny.
i'd love to buy ur $4.50 tongs, but its $15 after shipping
You missed a slow n sear charcoal kettle grill
I bought 2 tongs...and a shirt & hat.
I'm planing on coping a Blackstone during the Labor Day sales
You should keep wood pellet grills open when lighting them. Off gas from wood can exlode when I lights. After it's lite it's OK to close it.
Like how they turned strapping down the grill into a bit
The blackstones are nice cause u can cook alot of stuff that would usually fall through the racks on other grills but that being said if u have a gas stove and cast iron cookware its basically the same as a Blackstone . And the trager seems like its basically a smoker that can get up to grilling temps
Weber four burner gas grill with the cast-iron box. It’s a grill, a smoker and with cast-iron plate on it and make it a black stone griddle.
I got a traeger ironwood 885 love it better then pro series cause it has all the bells and whistles
Dunno why I'm watching, but I love it 🎉
Thanks for the tongs and the coozie brother
Will always go traeger! About to buy a blackstone as well but back straps for a few hours on the traeger is where it’s at!
3 tongs and a shirt, did my part!
Entertaining comparison, fellas. Just bought myself 10 pairs of tongs!
Smoker vs. flattop, which is the better grill?
Got my tongs today got a beer coosie wrapped up in best quality tongs ive had
i could see how the Traeger has better flavor in some aspect, but man, cook some eggs on the black stone after its been seasoned, chefs kiss
I feel like I need to buy 50 pairs of tongs…….then return them two weeks later with a note saying “Yeah, these aren’t going anywhere”.
It’s a smoker vs a flat top. That’s like racing a monster truck vs Drag Cycle. Two different tools meant to do two different jobs.

How’s Brisket turn out from the BlackStone?
Probably about the same as over easy eggs do on the Traeger?
I didn't even know you had tongs! Just bought one lol
You betcha i got two tongs headin my way nothing worse than dead space in the garage
3 tongs just ordered!
Just bought 4 tongs! Let's get em gone eh!!! Proud mid-westerner!!
Never really realized how much weight you lost. 👍
Yeah I’ll pick up a few of those tongs lol
Tongs ordered!!!!
Love that tee!
For anyone thinking of buying the Traeger, WIFire doesn't let you start it remotely. Still a great pellet grill regardless.
I don't see that t shirt that you had on on your website
Apples and oranges my friend. Just keep both and use each for intended purpose
one is a griddle and one is a grill that like apples to organes. lol
Now I understand why ryan deals with crazy amount of leaves. He wasn't lying, he knows pines
Let’s go I can’t wait to see this new video!
So how about a challenge between the two cooking a packer brisket…

Bought some tongs !!
This is like when SpongeBob and king Neptune had a cookoff
I gotta start using my kettle it's better but I'm lazy. The pellet grill much more convenient.
Tongs with wood handles are a no-go since you can't use the dishwasher to clean them.
Guess I’m buying some tongs. Click click.
$9.18 shipping for the thongs?? 😮
Tongs are a bit bulky. A thong for your wife/ girlfriend should be cheaper to ship. 😉😜
The Blackstone is for smash burgers. You need that crust before you flip. The traeger is gonna get the pellet flavors and is better with thicker patties.

One sold.
When is the Ranch Wrangler coming back ? Janesville, Ca Pizza Factory, can beat them all.
Fam and I are considering a move to the Midwest from Texas…how do yall take to Texans movin up? Side note: we can smoke a brisket….really well.
That Traeger is just like me in life. It’s not going anywhere.
Smash burgers on the Blackstone "smoke" the pellet grill any day! I have both tho lol
I've made my purchase decision, and that is both.
They totally dismissed the first round which was time to complete and only acknowledged the human and dog taste test😂
Apples to Oranges comparison
Ooorrr maybe since the blackstone was ready way before it was less fresh. What yall should've done is put it on the flame at the same time
But that grill did go somewhere. It went to Ryan's house
I love my Traeger. I love my Blackstone. My heart is still with my Weber Kettle. I just ordered 125 sets of tongs. You’re welcome👊
Ok hey well I ordered 4 sets of Tongs. Inflation is hard.
Two very different beasts.
Pit boss tops the grill game
I was gunna order a pair of tongs but the shipping was 28-60$ lol
