    I think if you're selling bbq and charging people their hard earned money then you should probably be more anal about temp control and all that,but if you're doing it as a hobby and making food for yourself and the people close to you then just do it however you feel is necessary..Bbq gets over analyzed a lot and sometimes it's made harder than what it is or should be..My temps jump all around even when I am locked in and taking it very seriously because that is just the nature of inefficient offset smoking and thats ok,but I still churn out some damn good bbq from what I'm told 😂

    I use to go crazy with fluctuating temps in my smoke north offset, spiking high when I add a log, dropping when there was just coals left. Now I just try to maintain an average temp instead of trying to chase the perfect temp, makes the cooking process much more enjoyable. The best guaranty for the perfect bbq is using the highest quality meat you can afford, and relax and have fun cooking it.

    I've had mine for almost 2 years now and I still love it. Best bang for the buck pit out there for the price. I just picked up one of the new scoop baffles and am currently playing around with it and testing it out. I'm not sure why you intentionally went with 1/4" pipe on the cook chamber though. The standard on these Blue Smoke Smokers is 3/8" pipe for both the cook chamber and firebox, with 1/4" end plates. That thicker steel helps retain heat better so personally, I think you made a mistake asking for 1/4" on the cook chamber, but it'll still perform great. Congrats!

    If I were a smoker builder sending a smoker to a UA-cam reviewer, I would have paid more attention to detail. I would not have sent you a smoker that is already rusting. And the sharp edges on the grates could have been eliminated by welding the expanded metal to the bottom of the frame instead of the top. Whoever heard of shipping a smoker with the cover on it instead of shipping it in an enclosed box? Another thing I don't like is the inability to open the stack wide open, regardless of what the manufacturer thinks. Limiting the firebox door to just two positions is also questionable. But having said that, the biscuit test that matters is the one after the smoker is purring at 250 or less. Infernos are not necessary in backyard smokers, as less is more. I think this manufacturer has good hotspot control, but no manufacturer can prevent a hotspot if the fire is overbuilt. In summary, because of your attention to detail, your reviews of this smoker can help both you and the manufacturer.

    • @bigphilssmokers4035

      The shipper out the cover in it. Not us cause he didn’t want the smoker to be rained on during transit. I run my personal on the second notch and have been for the last 5 years and have always gotten enough oxygen to run my smoker at any temp I want. The grates are made from 1” sq tubing. So welding the expanded metal in the bottom wouldn’t be very smart. And running the smoker at full stack opening and where it is in video makes no restriction at all.

      @@bigphilssmokers4035 I don't claim to be an expert on shipping, but this is the first smoker I have seen on UA-cam smoker reveals that was not shipped in a plywood shipping container. As for the grates, many manufacturers use angle iron and weld the expanded metal to the bottom of the flange, thus creating a smooth rim around the entire grate with no danger of cutting hands. And though your stack and damper settings may be optimal, I think most users would prefer more flexibility in adjustment. Thank you for providing this field test, as it helps customers make more informed buying decisions.

      ⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠@@commishgI use a shipper with a flat bed trailer with a ramp for easy unloading. I do ship some smokers on pallets. It the about if damages that’s happen that way is more than you would believe. Also most big names pit builders that’s build smokers that I know use 1” sq tubing cause it has more structural integrity thank using angle iron. Also angle iron is a lot cheaper than using tubing. As far as the damper comment. I’ll take that into consideration and the firebox notches I’ll also take that into consideration but for the last 10 years no one has had an issue. I own a backyard model, 250 and 500 gallon and the second bitch has always been sufficient for the temps I cook at and I cook hotter than a lot of people.

    You would think that as many times someone has said something about the stack cover not opening all the way that he would do it differently and open them up all the way like they should be. I have a 500 gallon from Big Phil and he did the same to mine but he said it was OK just the same.
