My husband used his for 12 years!!! I took care of it,after his passing. I'm going to do this cause the one my husband had smoked 3,20lb turkeys@ once. I'm trying to learn how to use it
Dang dude I used this snake method and it stays in the ideal range the whole time. Hats off to you guys for figuring it out. I'm in SE, AZ region so I use mesquite. The chicken thighs and roasts are absolutely amazing. Thanks my bros.
I put the legs on the brinkman on the outside..light the fire in my Weber smokey Joe then place the brinkman over top the Weber..good consistent temp and smoke with the snake method...
I applaud you playing in this sandbox. I’ve used a brinkman, do yourself a favor and get a weber smokey mountain, thank me later. I bought the 18.5” one, but wish I had splurged for the 22”. I now have an offset stick burner, but for the money and time needed to tinker, the weber smokey mountain is the sweet spot imo.
Did you make any modifications to your smoker and also what did you set the coals on ? I’m seeing a lot of people saying that the charcoal bowl isn’t good to put the coals in
I just got one of these smokers. I’m confused, as to how to use it without burning myself. It seems, once I get the fire going then I am supposed to put in the lower rack and the water bowl, but the problem with that is then I am directly over a hot Smokey fire, seems like a design flaw or am I missing something?
@@TrailMedic911 in that case maybe I’ll do the modification I see on RUclips where people flip the legs to the outside and prop up the burn pan on some bricks. Then you can remove the whole smoker from the fire at any time.
@@TrailMedic911 hey got same smoker used and my coals kept burning down. Couldn’t keep a steady 225-250 to save my life. I saw how much you used so I used less and my temps lowered over and over
Use smaller woodchips and sandwich them between your snake, this way you won't have flames blazing, just glowing coal all the way till the sweet end.
Thanks, I’ll give it a try
I “inherited” an el-cheapo grill. This was a great tutorial. Thanks
👍
Thanks for the tips,
Trev from Australia 🇦🇺
This El cheapo smoker was the first smoker. I ever had absolutely loved it, LOL.
Works ok for me. 👍

The results looked convincing enough! Thanks, Keith.
It was some pretty good eating. 👍
Thanks for Watching!
Very helpful thanks.
The key to a vertical water smoker is keeping water in the pan. When your temp rose too high your pan was merely boiling grease.
Yep 👍
I got this smoker free as a young man a d it's cooked the best meat I've ever eaten. I love this smoker.
👍

Mesquite is the universal smoking woo
Looks good. Smoking is an art and labor of love. I would suggest soaking your bark less wood.
Smoke on.
Thanks 👍
Looks great you have shown me what i need to do today...😎👌thanks!

I’m just getting started using a smoker. Hopefully I’ll get better as I go. But, that was still some good eating.😇
Thanks for watching!
I think you supposed to light one or two coals then it will snake slow
One at a time
Is there a a vent on your lid so you can dial down the temp?
No they don’t. That can be an issue.
Thanks for Watching!
Did you make any modifications to your smoker and also what did you set the coals on ? I’m seeing a lot of people saying that the charcoal bowl isn’t good to put the coals in
No modifications. I put the coals on a grate above the bottom bowl.
I think you supposed to go two rows high with the charcoal

Nope, it’s not easy.
I set it all up in the beginning then light the fire.

You can also instead of bricks use a Weber Smokey Joe and that also has a grate and damper so you can regulate temps well
thanks
It works well. 👍
Nice video. Can you please what the other gauge is that looks like a thermometer?
It was the original thermometer that no longer works. So I replaced it with a new one.
Thanks for Watching!
Beef roast cooked that high has to be tough
Yep, I used way too much charcoal!
