I introduce my new Myron Mixon Gen 3 Barq 2400 and give my first impressions.
Update - Talked to the one of the owners of SmokinBrothers and he told me that the drip pan and heat deflector are both made of heavy gauge carbon steel *not stainless*, because they retain heat better. - Jak na to + styl
Thank you for the detailed first impression!!
Lots of cooks on it coming up soon.
@@bignicksmeatsntreats Awesome! I've subscribed.
@@ksolo-pj3qh thank you
Love my Gen 2 but jealous of the Smokin Brothers addition. I had narrowed to Mixon and Smokln Brothers before they joined up. Amen to the space and the design allowing 8 full pans.
Lovin' it so far. Did my first long cook yesterday. Doing prime rib and 40lbs if pepperoni this weekend.
What app are they having you use to control it? @@bignicksmeatsntreats
Saw you only had a few views, but I clicked to support you!
Maybe the algorithms are getting better on YT!
Godspeed
Appreciate it.
Looks great, never heard of this brand before, but is made in America, so I expect great results, good luck, please keep us updated.
Did baby back ribs tonight. I'll upload the video next week. Came out great.
Glad you found the one you wanted. I am sure you are going to be smoke crazy for awhile. Have fun. Beautiful looking smoker. Grass looks like it doing well.
It's an awesome smoker. Anxious to fill it. Weather has been cool but snow has been alot less than last year.
Great video! I can't wait to see what you cook on this beast!!
Thanks! I'll be doing a bunch of videos on it.
Yea, my Chinese "knock-off" of a Treager, the Camp Chef brand, is Very Chinese. The Burn Pot just disintegrated from Rust after a couple of yrs and I didn't know it. The ability of the Smoke Pro SE to reach and maintain temps above 300 F became more and more difficult over the period of a year and when I finally got smart and stuck an Inspection Mirror down in the Burn Pot, there it was. The walls were missing and flaking away from Rust, especially around the Feed Auger Tube.
I ordered an OEM replacement Burn Pot from Camp Chef which was a Pain and never worked in the end. NONE of the Burn Pots listed in their Parts inventory had ANY description as to which model they were designed for ? ? So, I was forced to e-mail Camp Chef to ask which Burn Pot would fit. They e-mailed me back w/ a part number and I ordered it @ $40 bucks. It was different in that the Igniter tube wasn't offset from the Auger Tube cutout, like the Original was. This offset feature of the Igniter tube made removing the entire Burn Pot much easier. The New Burn Pot w/ the Igniter Tube directly under the Auger Tube cutout made installing the thing nearly impossible.
I finally got it in and it was cut too tall and sat off the mount about an 1/8th inch. When I tightened it down it bound up the Burn Pot slide tray (used for emptying the ashes), and the Tray couldn't be moved. If I wanted to empty the Burn Pot ashes, I had to loosen the 4 mounting screws for the Burn Pot ? ? And lastly the Igniter Tube has a Hole drilled perpendicular to the tube (for cooling i guess) but I couldn't get the original Igniter past the Holes at midway down the tube ? I finally had to remove the Burn Pot again to have a closer look, which wasn't fun w/ the misplaced Igniter Tube. It turned out there was a Lot of burring inside the Igniter Tube that was remaining from the Drilling operation of the holes drilled at the cross section. They hadn't deburred the thing well enough to fit the Igniter in the Tube.
At that point I gave up. I removed it and contacted Camp Chef and explained all the issues w/ the New Burn Pot that didn't get finished or test fitted. There was No quality control given to this part. I sent it back and purchased an aftermarket brand from pellet-stove-parts-4less.com. It was half the price, it was manufactured properly and my Pellet Grill now gets up to and maintains the higher temps easily.
No More Camp Chef products for me.
Thats a nice looking smoker. One thing I noticed at 5.07 in the video is air escaping from under the burn pot you can tell by the ash that has blown away in a v shape on top of the auger arm. You want all the air feeding the burn. We do offer a gasket that can seal it. Other than that it looks like a nice unit.
Good info. Thank you.
Those are nice smokers. I had the opportunity to use one with Myron's son at a cooking event we did. They have a trailer with 4 of those on there (2 smaller, 2 larger). It blew my Traeger Ironwood XL out of the water that I was using that day.
I'm loving it. I looked at the big one. Massive. Been doing some short cooks on it. As soon as the weather gets better, I'll be hitting it hard.
@@bignicksmeatsntreats looking forward to your videos, just subscribed.
Good looking grill. Tons of space. I would say that it sounds like they're fairly behind the times with the WiFi connection. Most smokers it's quite simple, so if there should be any feed back it's that connecting something shouldn't require multiple steps as you mentioned. Regardless I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with this. I had a Recteq when I wanted to see if I even liked smoking and when I decided I did I sold that and went with something made in the US. In fact, my Yoder is made just up the road from me since I live here in Kansas. Thanks for the video!.
I looked at Yoder. The 640 was no bigger than what I already had and the 1500 was going to be close to $7k by the time I got it to the house and with a cover. The app is functional but not as easy as some others to connect. I rarely use the wifi for anything other than monitoring temps without having to go outside and if I'm using one of my wireless probes, I don't even use the wifi on any of my grills because it monitors meat and grill temp at the same time and has alarms. Prime rib and 40lbs of pepperoni going on this weekend!
I'm excited to see what you cook on it and how it comes out. I need 16 racks of ribs!
smoking some chicken thighs tonight and doing a video on the controller and the app.
I would prefer the controls to be higher. I can put up with a lot for $3,600! LOL... Glad you're happy with it. 😁
I'll be shooting a video on the controller and app this week.
Wow that looks like an amazing smoker...so i have a sincere question if i could get you opinion...i have used a propane smoker and a pellet smoker (pit boss) both were relatively easy to set a temp and made some great food. A friend was kidding me but also being serious told me a real pitmaster doesnt use electric or propane, he told me it is an art to control temp and the flavor is much better....to be honest ive never used charcoal or wood chunks but i have my eye on the weber smokey mountain....any thoughts on all this?
Thank you for your advise.
I have had a kamado (charcoal) for many years. I prefer the simplicity/flavor of the pellet grills, and a quality pellet grill can give amazing results.
@@bignicksmeatsntreats
Thank you sir, I have been totally happy with both my smokers (master built and pit boss) and I put food in and go do yard work while it cooks...didn't know if I was missing something as I've never had smoked bbq from charcoal...
One day I may buy the weber smokey mountain just cause I've heard so many good things on the reviews...happy cooking brother.
Good review. 3600 for a grill with no cover, hard to use wireless connectivity, no pellet dump, and limited app function through a browser? I’ll pass. Honestly there are better options out there that are US made.
Man what a smoker!!!!!! Jealous!!!!
That pit looks really nice. It’s nuts the bolts ain’t made in America. There ain’t no waaaaaay.
They may be. They told me a few of the small parts were not U.S. made but, didn't tell me exactly which ones.
I know it is off topic, but being from Ca. it is just weird not to have rear yard fencing, is there a reason for that, or do just love your neighbors that much? Now back to the great review.
I live on a golf course. The HOA only allows short chain link if you live on the course.
@@bignicksmeatsntreats OK thanks, thanks for the review. Looks like a really nice cooker but to big for my needs.
@@Moondoggy1941 it's a beast! Shooting beef short ribs video on it today.
Did you consider the Grilla Mammoth?
I did. New ownership. Was concerned it wasn't engineered by Mark Graham. It's too tall for how light it is and with the small casters, it would be blowing over constantly in our high winds. I also really wanted U.S. built.
The grill sounds tinny when you pull out the racks and I know you said the weight but what’s the thickness of the metal?
I can't remember. Smokin' Brothers could tell you.
@@bignicksmeatsntreats the thickness of the metal counts just saying you do you not subbing
Exterior walls are 12ga. I think interior are 14ga but trying to confirm.
Look at the rack space!!!!
It's awesome!
Lot like a traeger 850 timberline.
$3600 WOW !
All the U.S. made smokers are spendy.
@@bignicksmeatsntreats Plus this is a "Name Brand" smoker. Of course, there are plenty of low rent Chinese knockoffs available at Wal-Mart.
if you can buy a smoker like that you can afford a wireless thermometers and custom cover!! for me my money is with Taeger for the weekend warrior family ptt master and Yoder for more passionate pitt master folks!!
I have lots of wireless thermometers. Got the custom cover today.
The only thing that is smoking brothers is the controller.
Anything past ribs and the racks have to come out. Kinda false advertising on size if you ask me. And it's got Myrons name on it. Nope.
