- Hi Guys,
This is what it is all about for me, using my allotment in every way. I love cooking so the smoker was just another thing I wanted to include. Within time when everything is growing, I can have the meat in the smoker and prepare the salad whilst I wait!

I do what I do because I've got so much love for it; gardening, being handy, working with everything from compost and seeds, to timber and trees I enjoy it all, regardless of the weather, any day spent gardening is a good day.

I've just received one as a gift and just assembled it. Just watched this and it was brilliant
As long as youve started your charcoal well before putting it in the smoker you don't need extra ventilation at the bottom of it, there is enough of a gap to give it a really slow burn for long slow smoking. Enjoy 😊
Thanks for taking the time to put this together and inspire us to get cooking. Very helpful and informative and a good guide. Just assembled a large smoker and did not have a clue how to use it until I watched this vid. Have a smoking’ hot day!
Thanks for taking the time to create this video. Good information for those new to smoking and testing the waters with a cheaper smoker unit. Really appreciate it mate.
I started with this very smoker and am very glad I did ! It's very hands on and teaches you alot on how to smoke. I moved up to the Pit-barrel which was next level but still very hands on , which I like. I now own a Traeger ! I would recommend his smoker to anyone getting started, great little smoker !
I tried it as the same way you did.
The result: just great! It is the first try i did with a smoker. Thanx man. Greetz from the netherlands
The best, most informative video on a budget smoker/bbq, I have seen. Superb, many thanks.
Your a legend bought the same one from Bunnings in Australia and me and my bro pulled off smoking for our first time because of you! Legend 👊
Samuel White Hey Samuel, thanks for the comment I’m glad to hear you got one mate. There’s nothing better than smoked dinner 👊
Just got mine :D took me ages to find the same one to see how to use it :p
Just bought mine today from Bunnings as well. Should be a good hot plate for camping and going to try my first smoke this weekend.
Planning to buy one at Bunnings soon!
Just got mine for christmas and was hoping to find a video with the same smoker as well 😂 First smoke tomorrow lads wish me luck 🙏🏽
I could almost smell it up in Cumbria Joe it looked delicious love to you Kelly and ottis xxx
Thanks for the video, man. Got the same smoker for Christmas and your video has given me a great insight to how to get started.
So I just bought a smoker like yours and figured I'd learn to use it .. thx for your time.. food looks great
Just put together one of these smokers. Here's hoping that we can make something that looks as mouth watering as what you just have!!
That looked bloody lush. I'm sat here drooling.
Good for you buddy, I get that same joy from cooking as an amateur & I literally found the same smoker then looked for a how to use that specific one video. So thankyou for giving me a step by step. I'll be getting one now & making my neighborhood hungry with the smell of slow cooked smoked BBQ.👍🙏✌️
Wow, looks exactly like the same smoker I also just bought for under £40. I first used it last Sunday and did a BBQ first just over the hot charcoal and with only the bottom piece to have some quick food, that was great :-) I then added more charcoal, and whisky chips that I had soaked for a day but wrapped in an aluminium tin, leaving it open at the top and placed directly on the charcoal. I then added the water bowl and that contained soaked mixed pickling herbs and spices. On the bottom rack I placed similar sized joints of beef, lamb and pork, but not wrapped in foil. On the top rack I put chicken thighs, duck breast, tuna steak, mackerel fillets, trout fillets and shelled boiled eggs, also unwrapped, and just left it to cook overnight. I had no problem with the airflow and the chimney vent was closed - heat rises saw draws in the air at the bottom. Everything turned out fully cooked, really tasty, and succulent. I didn't add any sauces or marinade the food beforehand, and didn't even brine my joints like I usually do. So more experimentation to come! So pleased to have come across this video though :-)
Great video and cooking tips mate. Cheers i just bought the same smoker...now you've got me inspired to do a big cook up on sunday..what a great way to fight off winter
Thanks for the indepth guide on how to use these small bullet smokers. As someone who's about to buy one it was extremely helpful. I'm looking forward to my ribs now.👍🙏✌️
I just got a bullet smoker just like this one. This helped so much! Didn’t really know how to use it. great video:)
I have a smoker just like that as a retirement gift and can’t wait to use it, thank you for this video now I know just how to do a brisket and chicken.
Just got one of those smokers, used it today and completley ballsed it up. Reckon I was using cheap lumpwood and not allowing enought air to flow. Great video, enjoyable just to watch.
Well done guys. So simple and best video ever👍
Just got one of these used for $5. Found this while searching how to use it. Excited to give this a go--thanks for a great video.
Thanks for the info! I'm new to smoking and ended up getting a free one. Can't wait to try your method.
Thank you! I recent got a smoker similar to that as well, and I'm gonna try to smoke some pulled pork tomorrow. Thanks for the tips, cheers from the US! Love your garden too
Which one did you purchase? Having a hard time after reading so many reviews!
Very nice cooking Joe looks amazing. I've got to get me one of those
The missus come home from work with a griller/ smoker just like that one that was a promo that was never picked up from the bottle shop where she manager at and had the jack daniels wood chips. I did a bunch of ribs the same way and oh my god, sooo good. Cheers mate good video.
3,2,1 Method you did worked perfectly for my ribs!! Thanks for the video im using this as my ribs 'bible'.
Good video!
Michael Rankine Haha that’s brilliant thanks so much
i had my tea early and after watching am starving lol thanks for that haha good video
Shot mate, that looked stellar. Botched my first go at this and havin our first small get-together out of lockdown here in NZ tomorrow, confident I can bring it now after watching this :D
Well done. I have to get one!!!
Skilled lad! Well done looked lovely. 👍🏻
I’ve been so hungry since the start! Bravo
Just spent the day smoking for the first time. Used this video as my benchmark. 3-2-1 ribs are superb cheers mate ! You are a saint!.
Thanks mate
Best video I’ve seen in how to smoke meats on an upright smoker! GREAT JOB MAN!!
Bruce Angelotti Wow thanks Bruce means a lot mate
Omg, they looked amazing. I bet everyone around was drooling! Might be a future gift for my son in law 👍🏼
thank you just had the first smoked brisket yesterday on this exact smoker.
How'd it turn out?
I'm in Toronto and I can smell that food from here, darn it, i'm hungry now! 🥴
Well, I’ve just had a piece of toast and now I want RIBS!! You’re going to have so much fun with that Joe. Perfect for spending a day down the allotment and having it smoking away while you work. Magic! And considering all the BBQ snobs slag those smokers off, it just goes to show that the right chef can do a great job with one. Look forward to seeing more of your cooks :)
I went and bought myself a smoker after watching this video but even though I ain’t finished yet me thinks I over funk it. Me now ordering some decent coal ready for attempt numero two. M8 I need them ribs for my allotment bbq’s.
Loved this video Joe! Thank you 👍
I've got one of these 3 in 1 smokers. I got it last year and even bought a cover for it. I've never used it. I actually wanted a barbecue not a smoker. I am gonna try it but I think I may be selling it on. Great video
Makin me go out and purchase some Jack chips and a nice 🔥👌 cheap smoker for me new culinary adventure , You are an amazing host Joe , your innocence and sincerity could sell ice to an Eskimo , Thank you ,, Larry and your mate's from Rhode Island
Great video!! I have just bought exactly the same smoker!
Omg, we dont eat meat (you almost converted us back 😉😂😂) but you have inspired us to buy a smoker as there is plenty of things we make that can be smoked, we miss our bbq's but this is a fab alternative. Thanks Jo
I really like using the 3-2-1 method for my ribs too.
Hey Joe, thanks for your vid really cool low key introduction to the type of elcheapo smoker I’ve got! It was a fun video to watch. I’m kicking my smoker into fear for the first time tomorrow, Australia Day 2022 (Jan 26) Cheers!
Thank you for that great video that explains how-to use a smoker! I just borrowed one from a friend of mine to smoke lake trout. But your video convinced me to do some ribs. I want ribs now baby! LOL ;)
Awsome video and thank you for your simplistic explanations at each point
Thanks so much
i just got a similar smoker and I was concerned it wasn't getting hot enough or maybe it was junk . I feel a lot better after watching this.
Brilliant video. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. I just assembled the exact same smoker and am about to do a whole chicken (with a lemon stuffed in it).
Thank you for such a lovely comment I hope you enjoyed the video as much as you will enjoy your own efforts 👍
Such a happy video mate, watched it all without fast forwarding, unusual for me. Looked delicious. I noticed a rack went missing, u must have been hungry
Love this video!
I went to sleep starving last night lol dreamt about ribs. Told my son he now wants a smoker lol.
Just brought one of these and it’s surprisingly good for the price!! Great video mate
We just got ours very similar to yours from Home Depot. You gave very good tips. Thanks.
Thank you so much! I hope you enjoy using it as much as I enjoy using mine
I need one of these in my life . It might be a bit of a struggle waiting all those hours to eat though 🤣. As always thanks for sharing .
Spectacular job 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍. Just ordered one of these smokers today, will use your technique for sure. Everything looks amazing 👍👍
Fantastic explanation, fantastic review. Cheers from the states!
Hey man I'm sure someone might of told you already make sure u do you meat side down it helps render any fat and create great amount of tenderness
Great smoker update.................. my mouth is watering as I sit here drinking my JD.
😂😂😂
Cool I just put one together getting ready to spark it up! Thanks.
Just the video I was looking for 👌
Watching this video is making me so hungry great video keep up the good work
Love it 👏🏼🔥
Looks bloody lovely
Thanks for sharing.
Many thanks for this superb explanation. I did buy one of those a few days ago and could not figure out how to use it.
Can I offer a newbie a bit of advice? I have found that soaking any wood chips to let them smolder an coat the meat with a "smoky" flavor is a really bad idea. I tried the "soaked chips" early on when I first started as well but now changed up. Even using dry wood in these little smokers can be iffy...but there is a way to use them. #1.. use a good quality lump charcoal... not briquettes. It burns longer and potentially hotter with less ash to deal with. Using straight lump you can still achieve a nice mild smoked flavor. #2.. IF you want a lil more smoky flavor, be sure and bury wood CHUNKS.. (not the stuff shown here)… bury them under the lump charcoal. The reason for this is you need a good hot complete burn of the gases coming off the wood. The worst enemy of smoked foods is the blue grayish smoke that is emitted with incomplete burn. That is creosote... and will condense on your food.. potentially giving it a bitter nasty taste. IF said smoke is made to pass thru good hot burning lump charcoal above it.... that burns the creosote off before it gets to your food. Still.. use it sparingly... maybe just 2-4 chunks of good dry wood will give all the extra smoke flavor you need. So that is my reasoning behind advising against using soaked wood chips. … because they just smolder with that blue gray smoke that stick to your food. Believe me... this is from experience and your real championship cooks will tell you the same thing. Coming from your vents should only be a very light wispy white smoke.. if any is visible at all. Check out tips from Harry Soo... and how he sets up his fire/coals in his similar cookers and wins at competitions. He has tons of vids on CZcams with really great advice. No offense intended to the guy posting this vid. .. and apologies for writing a book here for you to read.
Hope you and yours make it thru these crazy times!!
Thanks for sharing. I think this makes sense and is good information. You don't need to see the smoke, you just need to taste it. Cheers!
It's more like grilling rather than smoking but no denying it tastes good.
When you smoke it's a neccessity to dry meat before smoking - in case of not doing so, meat surface becomes eventually black (after, let's say 3 hours of smoking) and that's due to harmfull substances coming from smoke easier sticking to meat surface. Same thing with immersing smoke chips in the water - it doesn't give you more smoke - it gives you more water vapour which is not what gives a smoked meat it's taste and aroma and as with wet meat - it helps sticking aforementioned substances to stick to the meat.
It's not the case in this video, probably because it's has been smoking for like half an hour and the rest of the time was grilling.
I should know from watching, but are you growing rosemary Joe. Makes for a perfect basting brush & straight in the compost when done.
Wow, that looks fantastic... hope you let Otis have a little bit...😊😊😊
Here in the states they sell a similar model ,but has only one door and doesn't have that little smoke stack ,but is constructed exactly like that otherwise. I just got one this week so I will using this as a how to. haha
I just bought yesterday the same BBQ for 80 euros , and I watched this very carefully because when i assembled it i was a bit mixed up about it at the bottom part of this bbq because it was just a tray and the surrounding was uncovered . Thanks for this video a good explaining video . Some advise for the next time you need a camera person to watch the movement of your hands doing 😉 good luck 👍 and thanks .
Yes Joe, today I tried my offset smoker for the first time, and I got amazing marinated chicken and porthouse steak , super tasty
Well done Abdul, I used my smoker so much that it melted in the end haha
Looks yum. Well done mate
Well how much did I enjoy this video? Enough to go online and order the smoker, charcoal starter and briquettes. That little laugh of yours - reminds me of mine when I'm feeling very pleased with myself!! xx
Haha I’m so glad you enjoyed the video xx
beer in the water pan also adds flavor when it evaporates. i usually put 1 can of beer per 2/3 cups of water doesnt got to be straight beer. defintely good.
I'm definitely going to check out that smoker, might make a good Fathers day gift :)
Alpaka Whacker it’s brilliant, link in description 👍🏻
Lot of people say here a lot of words but I will keep it simple. Thank you :) I'm after one now
Thanks this helped me out on how to use it. I won this same grill from work and because of you I know how to use it. The food Looks awesome bro. Keep up the good work 💪
Thanks bro, I hope you enjoy it and cook up some delicious food
Just come across your video loved it been and brought the same wish me look can’t wait. Thx.
This is maybe you’re best vid.
Mmm yummy looked delish 👌
I have the same exact smoker
very help full just got one
The way you stuff your face in the Jack Daniel's wood chips to smell it made me laugh xD
Thanks. Very helpful. I got the smoker yesterday and the design has only changed slightly. Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪
Just got mine for early xmas gift. Going to try both ribs and wings like you did mste. Thanks alot for tutorial.
From NZ enjoy the watch about to give this ago for the first time aswell wish me luck haha
Great video, very informative and you have a very chill and easy going manner. Like and subbed :)
Ooh, looked delicious, I’m sure I could smell it from here...lol...definitely adding a smoker to my wish list. Thanks Joe, very informative video.
It's only me ah brilliant you’ll enjoy it I know I did lol
Hi from Greece. I am just trying it with the same smoker. Its been almost the first 3 hours. Put some turkey legs on top and chicken on bottom. Didnt dare to put ribs for the first time. I am very anxious about the charcoal. You dont say anything, so... Checking to see if they are out and wondering how will they keep for so many hours. I put the chips in a special box. Hope they stay smoking. Thank you for the special video. Update. Almost done. Moved the turkey on the bottom. Chicken wings are absolutely delicious. Checking temperature because we are starving!!! Charcoal: more and more from the door to keep hot, but was easy. Oh my, the taste (depending on the woods (apple) and our sauce) is Incredible!!!
IPA soaked wood chips ... excellent !!! :)
Not really, you are steaming your food, not smoking it. Its a bad idea. Produces a bad taint to your food too. Use dry wood chunks.
You in so much do do , you didn't tell me what time to come and eat. bad bad adopted grand son . now Nana is so hungry
even Kelly did send an invite. oh well i guess east coast US. is a bit far for lunch LOL love you guys
Thank you so much!
I’ve brought this smoker yesterday keen to try my first brisket
M8 them ribs look unreal I’ve ordered 1 of those smokers of Amazon hopefully get it up n running for the wkend
Fantastic!!!!😋😋😋
Well you know he is a pro. The accent says so. Awesome video. Beginner smoker here
