Thanks for the thorough review of the smoker even if there were a few downsides. the charcoal clogging was weird, but as you said maybe it's a specific type of charcoal shape or density that leads to it. Hopefully changing that up will resolve the issue so you don't have to intervene manually as often.

Love to see some close up pictures of the inside when you seal things up in there. TRENDKILL seems to be having good luck with B&B oak competition briquets and their lump charcoal on his gravity units.

I definitely will! B&B might be the way to go then. I usually buy charcoal in bulk (200+ lbs at a time). I might have to try different brands until I find one that works best. I’m also curious if it’ll struggle with the BBQ Guru attached.

you are missing part of your smoker. the heat shield defuser " that's what I call it. it rests on the right side of fire box opening and extends just past the 2 welded nuts with rod legs that sit in the nuts

I've been waiting for a good brisket cook on the OC Gravity. Appreciate you doing this. Glad to see it produced a nice bark. How many pieces of Post Oak did you use on this cook? Were those chunks or just small pieces of splits?
@jg1317
4 жыл бұрын
Three pieces used during the smoke for the first 6-7 hours until 160 internal. They are ~14-15 inch splits I cut in half. I believe chunk would have to be replaced constantly and it’s more value added to buy logs/splits and cut to size.

Great videos. Your descriptions of everything are clear and concise. I prefer Royal Oak myself I think you will like the flavor over Kingsford too once you've tried it. I buy Frontier brand at my local Rural King, it's made by Royal Oak and as far as I can tell is exactly the same but less $$. I would suggest contacting the manufacturer about those welds too I'm sure they would make it right if it's not.

I definitely liked the smell of royal oak as it’s lighting more than the Kingsford but i noticed the white smoke it out out was much heavier. Almost looked like a steam engine as it was coming up to temp! It cleared up after coming up to temp and that’s when I threw the butt on. Overall I think the flavor was very similar to kingsford for this smoke. I have ribs and Cornish hens planned and I think we will see the real taste difference with those!

I have a question, I found you on KZitem, and your videos are great, especially because I am in the process of deciding whether or not I want to go with the gravity fed or offset. So my question is You being form Alabama, and doing your prep outside, how do you manage pest control? I don't ever see anything flying around your food while you are doing your outside prep.

Nice video man. Completely sold out of the gravity’s here Texas. 🍻. Im still on the fence about getting 1, assassin gravity looks better built but cost twice as much.

I can’t speak for absolute quality of an assassin, but I think you receive a very well fabricated smoker when purchasing from them. I don’t believe this to be in the same class but I believe it to work well for the primary purposes I purchased it for. Ease of reloading fuel and efficiency were my two major checkboxes and this has hit both. I believe the issues I have are minor and can be fixed with minimal mods.

Use b&b charcoal. Plus don't throw away your brisket trimmings! Season them and smoke for 12 hours while you're cooking the brisket. Pull let cool and you'll have what I can brisket candy. I've been selling artisan brisket for a few years. Good luck

Pinny smokehouse was a solid buy if you’re looking for a stick burner. My only caution would be that it would run away if you don’t get the wood lit correctly and 225 was difficult to cook at. I did all of my smoking at 250 or higher. You need larger splits or you’ll be out there every 15-30 minutes fiddling with fuel and intake/exhaust to maintain temp. I used larger splits and there were several times where I turned my back for 20 minutes and it would jump from 250 to 325+. Water in the pan is a must. All that said, it was great and did what I needed it to when I needed it. I really liked the real estate and large firebox. It was very inefficient with charcoal.

Good question. I’m about to post my experience with the 560 and I’m somewhat torn. Then 560 is a great machine but I have thoughts I’m saving to discuss in the final of the three smoker comparison. Right now, there are great budget friendly options. I hesitate to answer until I can play with the assassin 17

I think you took too much fat off , you were agressive with that trimming , fat protects in a long cook like that . I have an Assassin smoker and I've made some of the same mistakes when I first got it the fat cap will protect your flat .
