Having owned a couple of these offsets, I'd like to share a few notes on the Bandera vertical offset. Without going into modifications, replacing the provided water bowl with a 2/3rd size steam pan (hotel pan) results in a significant improvement. It sits perfectly over the provided bracket for the water bowl and when positioned in the center (front to back), it nearly eliminates the hotter spot on the lower grate beside by the firebox. After more than 100 cooks on all types of meats and temperatures, the smoke chamber holds with just a 5-10 degree difference from top to bottom with the said 2/3rd steam pan as a water pan. Also, a common practice with the Bandera is to place a metal griddle over the firebox and leave the hinged top sitting up. This smooths the airflow into the firebox and makes for a large griddle surface for either heating splits before they go into the firebox or for other cooking. For me, I just used a thick sheet of steel to sit over the firebox. The downside is that you have to have gloves to lift this griddle/plate to feed the fire, but I find that this is only a minor inconvenience. I hope that this is helpful for those who are evaluating which offset to purchase. :)

Steam/hotel pan? Is this something that makes it's own steam ( independent of the smoker?) I like the design of this offset as I think vertical seems to be the preferred for electric and disc smokers

Too bad this video didn't include the Old Coutry brand available at Academy or Bucees. I've used an Oklahoma Joes and the Old Country blows it away. With that said, the Brazos is fully welded and made out of 1/4" steel. At $1200, it's also more expensive that any on this review. Worth the extra chedder in my opinion. BUT, seeing this review is for "under $1000", the Old Country Pecos is made with 1/8" steel and is the same dimensions at the Brazos at less than half the price.

I have 2 Pit Barrel Cookers. Had 1 for 5 years just bought the 2nd. I put a 14" clay pot under the charcoal basket if I want to grill. Works great. But these things are smoking machines. You can hang a couple briskets, or 2 14 pound turkeys, or 2 pork butts or 8 racks of ribs. You can also get a grate with a hinge on it and do a pork butt and chicken or veggies etc. on the grate. I did my own Brazilian BBQ and used some skewers you can get and did picana, pork tenderloin, chicken legs, and I forget what all else. Everything came out fantastic. If food doesn't it was my fault.

the benefit of reverse flow one should be larger cooking area with the same temperature across the whole unit as opposed to non-reverse, where you get brutal temps at intake and exhaust areas, would be interesting to measure that! Non reverse flow ones can reliably cook in the central area sacrificing both ends of the unit. Whoops, got ahead of myself there. Watching the biscuit test. Shame as this should have been this model's biggest advantage... saved me some $$$

Im in the UK. I have a weber smokey mountain and a Cactus Jack/blackfire Indiana. The backfire is small with a small firebox. I've played with starter methods and split sizes. I wish i could say that smoked Turkey on an offset was better than smoked turkey on the WSM. The reality is results on the offset are unpredictable and it's arduous... Adding splits every 15-20 mins means its all you do for the day. Wood quality in the UK is also not as good as in the US. Most is kiln dried. I've stored kiln dried wood in an outside wood store for 2 years and its just now attaining a moisture content in the mid teens. In all honestly, if you're in the UK, the offsets available aren't worth the sky high prices, unless you are prepared to buy a US import like a workhorse pits 1975 and pay a fortune. You might be able to approximate Texas BBQ then. You'd really be better off in the UK buying a weber smokey mountain, a pit barrel, or if you have a bit more money, a pitboss champion drum smoker.

I have an offset smoker but he told me not to use the offset chamber but to have the fire inside the main barrel, off to one side, and to have the meat on the other side. I've tried it both ways and I do agree that doing it the way he said is the way to go.

I’ve had the Oklahoma Joe, Bandera for about 7 years. It’s still cooking but I suspect my fire box will rust out soon, but I feel like I’ve gotten my money’s worth. I’ve always kept it covered. The paint peeled off the fire box in sheets the first time I used it. I called OJ and they tried to blame me, and offered to send me a can of paint. I wasn’t having it and demanded that they either come fix it or send me a new fire box. I got the firebox. The cooking area is almost too small for a rack of ribs. I put the ribs on the grate and make sure they’re compressed and insert the grate. The same with brisket. You have to be careful with the thermometer probe as it will stick into your meat due to where it’s located.

I've been a Traeger+ user for years, but recently switched to Asmoke and honestly, it's a game-changer. The precise temperature control within 5°F using their FlameTech patent technology is something I never knew I needed. It's not just about control, it's about consistency, and that's what Asmoke has provided me. Plus, the convenience of having a pellet grill that's battery-powered and portable is unparalleled. I use it for backyard grilling, tailgating, even on road trips. The fact that it's environmentally friendly with the use of wood pellets as fuel is a bonus. I've cooked with different wood flavors and each one adds a unique taste to my food. If you're considering making a switch, Asmoke is definitely worth a try. #Asmoke

It gives me precise control over the grilling process, something I didn't have with Qstoves+. The different wood pellet flavors are a game changer, adding a distinct smoky taste to my food. The portability of Asmoke is another huge plus, making it perfect for outings. I've used it in my backyard, camping, tailgating, and even on road trips. And the app is a lifesaver, allowing me to monitor the food temperature and adjust settings remotely. Honestly, I can't imagine going back to Qstoves+ after experiencing the convenience, versatility, and flavor of Asmoke. #Asmoke

The reverse has a more consistent temperature across the cooking chamber.

Such a great video! I have been between the chargriller and longhorn for a while now and I think this may have sold me finally.

I've been wanting to add an offset to my grill collection since I only have pit-style smokers like the Weber Smokey Mountain and a UDS. I think the clear winner is the Char-Griller Grand Champion in most of these categories. I've had my eyes on the Longhorn but your video sold me on the Grand Champion. It will be a learning curve on managing the fire as my other smokers are a set-it-and-forget-it style of cook. Smok'em if you got'em!

Thank you for your work and reviews. I'm still deciding between one if these offset smokers or a pellet smoker. If you do anymore reviews soon could you review Pit Boss Pellet/ Charcoal combo since it is the first and only one on the market. I'm torn between a combo with gas pellet or offset and Charcoal but depending on results may get the Pit Boss. I've seen no reviews anywhere on it.
