Workhorse 1975 Biscuit Test
In this video we're going to be performing a biscuit test on the Workhorse Pits 1975 smoker. The biscuit test is a great way to test cooking evenness across the entire smoker. Knowing where your hot and cool spots are is a great thing because it allows you to move food around to cook a lot of meat more evenly. For example, if you're cooking multiple pork butts and one is cooking much faster than the others you can move it to a cooler zone to slow it down. Let's see how well the Workhorse 1975 performs in the biscuit test!

    I thought I had more biscuits on hand but this is all I had for the test. Normally it's a bit hotter right near the sides of the smoker since you're dealing with more radiant heat as well. All-in-all, it's a pretty solid representation of how even this smoker cooks. I do recommend closing down the damper a bit to help with the draw and move the hot spot closest to the firebox.

    I've already ordered my 1975 on the wagon. In fact, it should complete fabrication next week. But I can't find any mention on their website about the tires. Are they air filled? I'm wondering what steps will be advisable to keep them from going flat or otherwise breaking down when it is parked in one place for a while. Can you tell much about them?

    • @fattybuttsbbq
      @fattybuttsbbq 2 місяці тому

      I've never used it but does look pretty nice. You lose the top rack and the insulated firebox, which is probably the game changer for this smoker. I think the smoke collector and stack on the g2 might perform a bit better but that's just a guess. Prob can't go wrong for the price though when comparing to the OKJ Longhorn or similar smokers. The brazos would prob be a true competitor to the horizon though.

  • @teddillon7739
    @teddillon7739 2 місяці тому

    How would you compare the G2 vs the Kamado Joe? I know they are different animals,however I'm curious because many people smoke on the Kamado Joe. I agree about less expensive smokers,they seem to be really hit or miss and can confuse people who are new to smoking meat. Some people get good ones,I got a bad one and modded the heck out of it and it still sucks.

    • @fattybuttsbbq
      @fattybuttsbbq 2 місяці тому

      Honestly, if it’s your main grill I’d go with the Kamado Joe. I use it 90% of the time and replaced all my other grills and pellet smokers with a big Joe 3 and classic 3. However you still won’t beat an offset using all wood for smoking in my opinion. I’d get the offset unless you need an everyday grill/smoker.
