Smoking ribs on a Brinkmann using a grill wok.
Looks real good.
Any update on how the graft went? it looks interesting. Did it grow back?
I learned that you need more than one graft in case it doesn't take. I will try again
@@mchaywood83 Thanks for the reply. I am going to try this on a fairly mature pecan tree this coming winter
Today's my first day smoking. I vow to become the best smoker on one of these shit horses lol I'll take it to competition lol my uncle use to build those competition BBQers and smokers and you'd have to tow it with a truck hahaha
You will have enough squash for a 20 cousin Thanksgiving.
And their relatives with teeth 🤣
That’s a real nice garden.
Wow... You really thing a Weber Smokey Mountain is the way to go???.. And you mention the cylinder version of this, too.. I think this is a much better choice for a novice to learn on. Without a doubt! A cylinder smoker will teach a novice a lot if that person is capable of learning. Every time you need to add coals, ... You have to pull the whole damn thing apart and basically you are starting over. It will teach fire management, though. Learn to keep your fire going without so many interruptions. Soon, if you have half a lick of sense, you will learn that an offset fire box can burn lean and clean and is controllable, too. I at least hope you learn this.. All good. Trial and error, I guess... If you can make something that you and your family and friends enjoy, chances are you will catch the bug to one extent or another and progress to better BBQ.. I hope you fall in love with it. Lots of fun!.. GOD Bless.. and Happy smoking to all! ❤🤍💙Happy clear blue smoke to everyone!...❤🤍💙
Hey John! Yeah, this video is pretty old, and I do now run both a pull behind offset 250 gallon at church and a Weber Smokey Mountain at home. If you want to set it and forget it the Smokey Mountain is the way to go for smaller family batches, but for volume or the fun factor of controlling the fire, the mid to high grade offsets are good. I don't like the ones that are not one unit, because they are super flimsy steel, and they don't seal up well without mods. This smoker is actually fixing to go to the dump because the steel on the bottom finally rusted out. It's the end of an era. LOL!
@@mchaywood83 I am so very happy to hear all this from you. It's awesome when you learn something new. I mean me. I figure you know what I mean. I'm in southeastern PA now. I started in Northern New Jersey. Went to Texas... that was an awesome learning experience. And then, Florida. I was an over the road trucker. 48 states and Canada. Learned a lot but still learning here in Phoenixville, Pennsylvania. I wish you well my friend. Happy clear blue smoke for all!...
I had one of these. Long after my big Texas pit smoker gave up the ghost, my ex found one of these someone set out at the curb. Obviously, they didn't know what it was or how to use it, so they were throwing it out. My ex grabbed it and gave it to me. I made excellent use of it for 5 years. Worked awesome. Of course, you need some good horse sense to be able to run different types of smokers and thank GOD!... The good Lord gave me a bit of that. I went on-line a few times to replace water and coal bowls but kept it running for a good 5 years. Is it my best choice for a smoker? I prefer a good Texas offset with a good long draw from the smokestack, but you can make things work for you and most folks don't understand anyway. It did well for what it was and what I could do with it. Not a bad smoker at all as long as you know what it is and what it can do and what you can do with it! Worth it if that is your budget for sure! All good and better than a gas grill, too.
This was very helpful. I scored a vertical masterbuilt from the pawn shop for $35 and now i know how to actually start using it. New ones all seem to be electric or propane, which is strange to me. I really appreciate the video!!
Put the cucumber in water so they are submerged, the worms will come out of the hole and then cut open cucumber and save and eat the good part of the cucumber. Get it early and very little damage. Works extremely well, soaking the cucumber in water.
From one dad to another, good man. I like that you got your entire fireteam out there. Teach your babes everything. May The Father bless you and yours as He sees fit, sir, via blessings and blessings galore. Godspeed. Sir, if I may be as bold to make any suggestion... consider using a thumb tack or staple as opposed to the foil. But I never considered using a baggie to keep the graft moist. If you are in an area that citrus takes root, consider doing a citrus tree: orange, lemon, lime. Grafting works wonders if you can get it to take. I think you can graft just about anywhere on the tree, you just got to open up a receiving end for the sapling. Again, Godspeed, sir, and Blessings all around! With nothing but love, an old ex-Army infantryman Texan stuck in Northern California.
I always smoke in my offset bur a bud got a vertical Brinkmann and neither of us had any idea what the hell to do! Thanks for the video, sir. BTW, your accent, are you one of my fellow Texan brothers? Hope all is well with you and yours, sir.
I'm from Central Georgia, so close! 😂
@mchaywood83 spent the best years of my 20's at Benning, sir. I don't miss the red sand nor the Ant hills floating at us during them summer rainstorms! Lol we had much rain in Splendora Tx but not them floating Ant colonies. Respect given as you and yours are the kind of folk we need most in this modern age. Stuck in Nor Cal, but missing my roots. Keep trucking, sir. God speed.

“I hope not grandpa and grandpa?” What’s it to you? Love is love and it should be celebrated, not hated on. 🏳️🌈👩❤️👩👨❤️💋👨
I'm late to the party. I wish I had watched this before starting my pork butt. I didn't know about the sand. I'm using water in my pan. I will use sand next time. It makes great sense thermodynamically speaking. Heck, I might even replace the water with sand after the water boils out.
Do you do any in ground plots?
I do have one that I use for potatoes and larger crops but I'm migrating it all to this. I have to do a lot more work for the unground garden with cover crops and amendments and then general weeding.
A neighbor gave me a smoker like this.. never smoked anything before in my life, but gotta start getting it fired up.
Y’all mistreating that cat 😂
By the time Malone is 6, he'll be helping me do basically everything.
The one eyed frog!
Thank you for taking the time a decade ago to make this video. I randomly picked up this same smoker that was sitting out on the side of the road. They even had the drilled out pan and playground sand mods in it.
I really don't even think you need sand now. I love it though. The Weber can't really serve like an outdoor oven like this one can. It isn't able to go all night like the Weber without tending but isn't playing with fire what we do? 😆
Great video, I just bought that same smoker, I’m a beginner and that helped a lot.
If the power goes out you easily have a multi rack oven
How do you adjust the dampers to keep the heat in
Water or beer in pan a must for juice turkey or ham use honey or brown Suger and Wood chips also water makes it's get mist to help cool u do not wount dry so always do beets or water to chips give u a gd flavor to
water helps promote smoke because we are trying to smoke the meat!
No. Water adds moisture in the environment and acts as a heat sync. It has nothing to do with smoke. The smoke is entirely the result of what happens in the fire pit with coals and wood.
Thank you
Thank you so much for this video and Happy Father's Day
I bought the Giantex Vertical smoker grill, seems like the same thing as well as the same process. Thank you again
This video is a HUGE help. THANK YOU! I was given one of these, by my brother, when he upgraded. I've never used a smoker, and your video answered my questions and alleviated my concerns. 👍
Great tips and troubleshooting techniques
I just got one of these off of Facebook marketplace as a starter smoker for myself to learn the basics, this video has alot of info thank you
Thanks! I have a couple of Weber Smokey Mountains now, but I still love this smoker. I just used it twice this weekend. If I'm doing chicken a lot of times I will use the water pan empty and use it as a heat shield. I am looking into making a basket out of fabricated steel mesh and setting it in the grill wok for a longer burn.
Too bad Brinkmann went bust.
They did but they apparently sold the plans to their grills because there are a lot of knock offs using them. Dyna glo took the model and improved the charcoal pan
Thanks man never tried a smoker I found one for free on the side of the road going to try it out
Great review and tips, got mine from a Walmart about 9 years ago. Still using it
Yes thank you for the gauge and the sand because I just got one like that and first try wasn’t successful
Can you explain what you did the first time and I will try to help?
Matt Haywood I just couldn’t keep it hot my coals kept going out and the gauge was moving
Really good video. What temp do you keep chicken at when you’re smoking it?
I usually run everything between 250 and 300
Finally just got a smoker. Most of the best info I've found is on offset smokers. Thanks for making this video. A lot of great advice. I think my second attempt will be alot smoother. Thanks a tonne
Where did you buy the grill wok
And what size fits. 11x11 or 12x12
I got this one from Walmart I think. I'm not sure on the size. I would need to measure
I got a couple woks like this from the Goodwill store, and put one on one of the racks. Works perfect
Hi, I'm a Dror from Israel, I really enjoyed the movie, and I learned, we have a similar smoker in Israel, another brand. A lot of people complain about her not keeping heat I would love to hear from you tips and help Thanks
I would look for leaks around the smoker doors and consider using heat resistant gaskets to try to seal them, but most of these smokers loose a lot of heat through the thin metal. Using the coal method in this video will give you a slow/longer burn. I also would experiment with different heat shields like a pizza stone if you don't want to use sand. I have actually gone back to water because of the moist environment that you get from the water. Hope that helps!
What is 'newspaper'?
tks for the great info. will use it to improve my smoker . i buy one and the key problem is unstable low temperature...
I just bought this smoker used. No owners manual. Any idea where I can find one so I can learn to use this?
Here is a similar functioning one. www.manualslib.com/manual/21283/Brinkmann-Vertical-Smoker-Charcoal-Wood-Smoker-Grill.html#manual
ECB Guy right here great video Sir.
Thanks! I don't really use the sand anymore because I like the moisture water or apple juice provides. You can't beat an ECB for cost and backyard smoking!
what is the sand's job?
The sand is a heat buffer and also retains some of the heat to keep the smoker warm without having to fill up as often. You do lose moisture if you use this method though. I mostly use water or apple juice.

Hey i see that you have 2 bowls and 1 has the coals and wood and whats in the other i heard you say sand a lot so is there sand in the second bowl?
anatoly ivanov yes, playground sand. You can also use water for a more humid environment.
how would you be able to smoke peppers in it would water or sand be better?
Question from a new smoker. Do you keep the fire always burning? I wasn't able to maintain heat where ever there's no fire... I am confused because I've read that the heat should come from the coals only and not open fire...
You will need to add coals periodically. I would say every hour or two. The coals will be glowing if they are active, but ultimately so.e will burn out to ash. That is why the pan with holes is needed. Shake it gently with some tongs and let some of the ash fall through and add 20 or so coals at a time. The double door design of this one let's you access the coals without losing all of the heat. Let me know if that isn't clear enough.
I have a Masterbuilt and had a hard time keeping the temperature up. Mostly because of ash build up. I going to make some of modifications you suggested and see how that works. Thanks for the tips!
Many thanks for the video. Hugely useful as I've just purchased my first smoker and it's virtually identical to this one.
Thanks for the video! Exactly what I was looking for! I have a MasterBuilt but I think the same principles apply. They are very similar. All the Masterbuilt videos are with gas and no help to me.
The Siklos Experience Glad it helped!
Great video with great explanations. Thanks for making it. One minor correction regarding your comment at about 10:39. You say "it takes a little bit more heat to get sand warmed up" (than water). Water has a about 5 times the 'specific heat' of sand, which means it takes about 5 times the energy to heat water than sand to obtain the same rise in temperature. So for a given amount of heat applied the sand will rise in temperature much quicker than the same volume of water. It may not matter in the end, though, since the hot air flow may not be regulated too much by either the sand or the water. Some testing would have to be done to see how much effect either has. I suspect that a simple air baffle may do about the same thing as either sand or water, but that remains to be determined. If true, then your use of sand is clearly an improvement over the use of water simply because the sand/foil method is much cleaner to deal with.
cool thanks for the video ,
