I'm having the same problem 😢

That cast iron handle... never thought of something that nice.

Awesome, where do I find that adapter from the billows to the smoker. (the one with threads)

Awesome video my man!! very educational

Great job... i may them like that during the week for dinner for the kids with some potato salad and mac n cheese. Quick and simple on a weekday

There isn't anything that needs to be cooked in that recipe lol

Have you noticed any pros/cons to the different designs? I was looking at the 55qt that looks just like your 77qt, only smaller. However, I came across the 65qt and like a few things about it more. From what I've seen in videos it seems like the 65 has a better seal. The 55/77 doesn't seem to be as gapped when the latches are open, thus making me think the seal isn't quite as tight/robust as the 65. Any information or opinions you could share are greatly appreciated. I bought a RTIC and the drain plug leaked the entire camping trip. Called RTIC and they couldn't have cared less. I'm returning it for a full refund so now I'm going back to what I probably should've bought in the first place. My local Walmart has the 55 but not the 65, so I'd like to know your thoughts, since your 77 is pretty much the same as the 55 I can get locally. Walmart and Amazon both have the 65 for just a little more money.

Great video gettin me an onyon holder

Wow! Man you have got an awesome setup. I just found out about your channel. Your review of Old Country Gravity Fed Smoker is thorough. I also looked at G2 but I prefer this one over G2. I am not experienced like you. Thank you for the detail explanation.

Totally agree! I already had the billows system and used it with my OK Joe bronco. Just purchased the Old Country two days ago. It takes foooooreveeeer to heat up without the billows. 100% agreement on dumping a hot chimney of coals in first, then a chimney of unlit briquettes on top of them. Put your wood chunks in the bottom and let her role! 🔥

I started doing this a couple of years ago on my Weber Grill also using the Vortex... like you said 40-45 minutes, and it's money all day. I actually laughed when in the the beginning you were talking about hour and a half to two hours... they looked great

Good looking pit Ric ! Nice job on the review ! Cook a brisket, why not?

Just made egg rolls with my hammer!😋

No vale quach. 😢 disco is how you cook tripas

This smoker is amazing!!! Adding the fan is just the icing on the cake. As easy as a pellet smoker with the taste of an offset.

Got one and I am going to fire it up tomorrow!!!!!!!! :)

its not stainless steel

does that thing come turbo charged? I could use this on many days

Been trying to find out but wasn’t not able to see anywhere, which rotisserie brand or model you are using? My GMG Daniel Boone is not rotisserie ready, I’m sure it’s easy to modify but not sure which road to take. Any inputs ?

Great video! Got my sub. I do have a MB 1050 and yea you are right about it. Just nothing but issues. Already on my 3rd controller in 2 years. Should have just got a fireboard controller lol. Anyways I am looking at other smokers now and I do like this one. I do have a question for you. How high can you take the temp and can it handle that high of a heat? One thing I do like about the MB is that I can crank it up to 500-700 degrees if need be. I just did a tomahawk steak. Smoked it until about 110 internal then crank it up to 575 degrees and seared it. I also do other stuff using that high of a heat, like chicken wings. Does this go up that high with that controller or does this smoker have a max temp you can take it too? Thank you.

I’m a noob and trying to figure things out. Just curious why you used water instead of apple juice? It ended up looking awesome of course

Reflectivity of the surface will affect the temp shown on the infrared thermometers

What size is the adapter for the fan?

Nice tool, Looks like it works good

👍👍🤠

Nice timing. My uncle just bought the billows but hasn’t had a chance to use it yet. Sent him your video to help him along.

Good review my Digii Q runs my Southern Q Smokers and Old Country gravity fed 🔥

That's awesome!!!!! It's time for me to work some overtime and buy one!!!!!! :)

Hey Ric..

I've seen these before for sale but didn't know how it works. Great video! Would it work on a kettle?

Awesome review Ric! Pretty impressive 👏. Definitely worth the money 💰! Cheers brother 🍻🍻

I made this BBQ sauce and it really went well with not only Pork, but brisket as well! It has an incredible flavor. I added a little Cayenne pepper in a second batch, to add some heat but not change the flavor!!

Rubbing down the inside of a Weber kettle grill with vegetable oil before the initial burn isn't necessary or recommended by the manufacturer. The practice of oiling comes from seasoning cast iron or steel cookware to create a non-stick surface and prevent rust. However, Weber kettle grills are coated to resist rust and do not require this step. The main thing to do with a new Weber kettle grill is the initial burn-off, as mentioned earlier, to remove any manufacturing residues. This ensures the grill is clean and safe for cooking. Regular cleaning and maintenance after each use will help keep your grill in good condition.

The Weber SearWood can also be used with a rotisserie.

Great video. Looking foward to seeing you do a pork butt or Brisket on pitt boss champion

Them "non stick" griddles on the blackstone are junk!

Brother Ric! How ya been buddy. Not sure what has happened but I haven’t got any of your notifications. I’m going to try and stay back on track. Hope all is well. Oh….that yard bird looks killer!

Damn Ric. That is cool ❤

That thing is a beast. Can’t wait to see what you make on it and how well it works. Tons of cooking surface area on those racks. Very versatile.

I have a PBC and I’ve enjoyed it. But I really like how easily you can access the charcoals in that Pit Boss. That’s nifty. Had a buddy do the sausage trick you did several years ago and I’ve been copying it since. I even do it with hot dogs. Is awesome.

I need a new drum smoker. This one is at the top of my list so far.

Nice cook Ric, I enjoy my Bronco, but man I love the way the coal basket swings out very cool. Bronco top load

Love that Pollos Hermanos seasoning on them leg quarters - excellent cook brother! Cheers!

Great first cook slick Ric 👍💯🍺

Nice cook bro! Chicken looked fantastic!

Good Looking Cook Ric. Can't go wrong with Chargrilled Bird. I love it!!!

Los Pollos Hermanos Southwest...you are now ready to cook....chicken! Beauty cook Ric. Cheers!

Wow looks fantastic Ric , definitely money 💰💵!!!. That smoker looks pretty awesome too! Thanks for sharing and have a great weekend. Cheers brother 🍻🍻🍻

Fantastic looking yard bird...yes indeed my brother 👌. Cheers 🍻
