    I’m a backyarder and will never rise to the scale that you are but Your explanation of fire management has to be the greatest explanation I have ever heard, watched , or read. You are a natural teacher and you bbq must be insanely good. Keep up the good work and I’ll be watching your channel.

    Bro!! This was the best video I’ve seen about fire management. I continuously am learning about this and I’ve been in the backyard with clean fires for about three years. I’ve struggled this past week with my fire in my old country and this video has shed so much light on this subject. This also helps me to help my friends understand the subject too as they all want to get an offset now. Thank you. You have helped a small group of us.

    I'm very much a backyard boy & this video is amazing. I just bought my first mid-tier offset, after smoking on big kettles & vertical stack smokers for a couple of decades. I'm looking forward to figuring it out. My favorite is probably the kettle, it just isn't designed for the job but it can be done if you get creative.
    The vertical stack is easier, but I need to feed it more often & just use the amount of fuel to regulate temp.
    I'm not looking for excellence, I've experimented trying to get as close to "fire & forget" as possible - just trying to get consist, solid brisket/short-rib whilst being able to sleep or hang out with the guys & pound a couple of beers. I think wireless thermometers with plenty of probes is a really good "cheat" on a backyard setup, having the information graphed out really helped me understand what was happening when I made changes.
    I had great results with 35+ day dry aged UK Heritage beef, it's what I've got readily available that's quality & the dry aging reduces the stall time a decent amount which was invaluable for my use case. They're a little more sensitive to high heat though. Spending an hour in stall instead of 2-3 means I can knock out a pretty good brisket on a kettle and only open need to open it it twice. I still need to roll a dirty fire for a short time but it's not enough to be an issue. I learned to use is, when adding more fuel I treat it like an Asado grill for the ~15 minutes - using the radiant heat spike to almost sear the fat cap on the decal/point (I trim nearly nothing, the more fat the better for me).
    Mostly I learned to stop fretting about temps. The kettle is so challenging, so much radiant heat to deal live with. It's definitely different!
    Brisket's off my kettle have a Ton of fat on the outside, not a traditional bark - it's half way between a pan fried steak and a traditional brisket.

    By Far the absolute best fire management video I have ever seen and 2nd place is not in view. You broke it down for all to be able to understand and learn from your knowledge. No condescending comments directed at the less experienced. Your goal was to inform and pass along your years of experience to anyone willing to accept it. Yes you are a true pitmaster. Your Pitmaster skills are only outdone by the quality of person you are, a true class act!
    Thanks For Sharing.

    Man, I love seeing your passion come through in this video. Admittedly it's the first video of yours I've seen, but you had such quality information I HAD to subscribe. You may have the first actually informative fire management video on RUclips. Sure the other ones all got me goin on my own offset. But seeing the techniques used on the large scale simultaneously along with the small scale was super helpful. But the best part by far was the passion about sharing the information. That's my favorite thing about bbq (apart from obviously literally every part of bbq) is that we're all in it together. There are no real "secrets" among this community. The share of information so freely, and in your case the AMOUNT of information you've given us is truly awesome. Thank you! Now ya got me dying to cook!!

    Hey there I’m new to your channel. I just lucked up on seeing it. I really appreciate your lesson on starting and maintaining a good fire. I’m a backyard smoker/griller with about 25 years of experience. I love grilling and smoking meat. It’s my serenity and a real place for a peace of mind for me. I have not smoked a good brisket as of yet. Don’t get me wrong they turn out ok. You have given me an idea to cook it for about 6 hours and finish it in the oven. I never thought of that. I thought that it had to finish on the smoker. I will be looking out for more videos in the future. Until then I will check out your previous videos if you have any. Thanks

    Great job I’ve read several of the comments below and agree with just about every one of them about this being really a good fire management for offset smoker. I have two small backyard smokers over 20 years old that I originally started smoking that old country which I’ve only had one cook on, but after studying your video, it looks like you’re gonna make it a whole lot easier just following your directions. Keep up the good work. Enjoy the video whole lot.

    • @5Alarmpitmaster
      @5Alarmpitmaster 3 месяца назад

      Got a follow up question. You have a 500 gallon. Do with the Millscale 94 would I use a little less wood to start?

    • @MeatNGreetBBQ
      @MeatNGreetBBQ  3 месяца назад

      lol yea I would suggest using less wood on a 94 gallon than you would on a 500. I’m not certain exactly how much as I’ve never cooked on a millscale 94 so you’ll have to play with it. But hey, that’s the beautiful of BBQ. I’d bet that if you put two logs on the bottom, then two more across the top the opposite way and lit that on fire, after about 25 minutes or so you’re temps would read 225-275 with the damper wide open. Start there and let me know. But hey, that’s the Beautiful of BBQ that it’s not an exact science.

    This is hands down the best, true fire management video. I have my first offset since December which is my 20x42 Lonestar smoker and this video is clutch. I may not even want to use the fire management basket and use the space of the whole firebox after this video. Thank you again for time and explanations and look forward to future videos!

    • @MeatNGreetBBQ
      @MeatNGreetBBQ  3 месяца назад

      MY MAN!! Coming through with the bbq love, appreciate the support bro 🙏
      Those Lonestars are some nice rigs. I remember watching videos like over a decade ago of some sweet Lonestar smokers back in the day, glad to hear your getting after it. Shoot dude you might not need that basket. My way is certainly more work intensive but you have wayyy more control over what’s going on. I’ve never used a basket so I wouldn’t even know where to begin 😅

    For years I have watched videos on fire management only to come away with more frustration than when I started. Thank you for taking the time to explain the reactions of the coal bed and your method of stacking the shape of the wood. I have a big box store smoker that I make great bbq in. This explanation should raise my level even higher. Again, Thank You!
