Finally a youtube video on the Ultra Que. I have this model for the past three years and it is great.
I absolutely love mine! Lays down better smoke than my offset. Produces amazing BBQ
That Big Boy statue brought back some memories. As far as the smoker, they don’t mak’em any better. I will own one before I kick the grease pan. I’ve eaten off several and there’s just no comparison. Fine, fine piece of craftsmanship.
I use to say you can't beat an offset until I got this bad boy. I just didn't know what I was missing. Thanks for watching!
Holy crap dude. Pictures don’t really do that pit justice. That looks really nice. I’m so happy for you buddy. I can’t wait to see the first cook.
Thanks Justin! I can’t wait to do the first cook!
One thing that I find humbling whenever I watch your channel, and other American channels, is how much home grown/USA industry you have and are quite rightly proud of.
It saddens me when I look around the UK and see very little UK made products anymore.
Keep promoting and keep up the good work 👍🏻
Oh yes, most Americans do prefer USA made products because they are made with pride and quality. They obviously cost more, but worth it. Thanks for checking the video out!
Beautiful new pit Rus ! Congrats ! Can't wait to see some good looking grub to come off of it !
Thanks Kent! Tuesday can't get here fast enough. Thanks for checking it out! You need one of these in your life brother!
As a CTO owner, my dream pit. You won’t be disappointed man. I’ve ran mine for 3 days straight before for a festival. They are made to flat cook. With minimum interaction. Welcome to the Ole Hickory Family bub.
Oh I know. I've been around these pits at comps and they are true work horses built for that. Thanks for checking the video out!
I'm excited for ya Rus!!! I'm looking forward to your cooks on that pit. I'm down for a pit that doesn't have all those electronics that don't last. Simple is best!!! I need to get me one of those Old Hickory pits!!! Cheers brother!!!!!
Thanks Troy! I haven't been this excited over a smoker in a long time. Yeah, this is old school compared to all the gadgety crap out there now days. Brother, you really should consider this pit. Cheers Troy! You and Karen take care of yourselves brother!
Beautiful beast of a pit! Have fun, Rus👍😊
Thank you Bobbi! I'm super excited to have it! Thanks for watching
That is a sweet pit. I can't wait to see your first cook on it. Great video Rus
Thanks Eric! Me too brother!
That thing is so nice Rus it's hard for me to call it a pit! Damn Son..... what a beauty and obviously top of the line! With the right exhaust you could run that inside. Just amazing! Cheers Bud and y'all have a great weekend!
It sure is Rob! I've seriously have been eyeing this pit for a very long time. Top of the line is correct, and the technology behind this pit is true and proven for almost 50 years. Many restaurants place them under vent hoods right inside the restaurants. I'm loving it! Cheers Rob!
That is one gorgeous pit !
Love Barbeque can't wait to watch
Wow Rus - It's almost a piece of art! - HUGE cooking area with the three deep shelves. - Can't wait to see what comes off this unit. - Cheers!
Thanks Garry, I appreciate you checking the video out and cook videos coming very soon.
Absolutely beautiful pit Rus! I cannot wait to see what you cook up for your first cook!
Thanks Darrin! I can't wait either. Tuesday can't get here fast enough. Thanks for checking the video out!

Fantastic pit Rus! Can’t wait for the first cook, I’m sure it will be epic! Cheers 🍻
Thank you! First cook coming next week! Cheers
That is very nice; especially the made in USA. I’ve learned some hard lessons on getting parts from China the past couple of years. Brutal experience.
It sure is Larry! Yes, I absolutely love the fact that these parts are easy obtainable in the rare event something goes out. Thanks for stopping by Larry! Great hearing from you!
Thats a beautiful Smoker! Love it!
Thanks Luis! I’m loving it!

I can’t wait to see your first cook on that bad boy! What a beauty!
I'm doing the first cook either Tuesday or Wednesday. Thanks for watching AJ!
What's there to say, Rus! Besides, that's one incredible pit, and I can't wait to see it in action!👍👊
Thanks Kevin! Videos are coming.
very nice... cant wait to see this available in my neck o the woods.
They ship world wide
Great review on an awesome smoker. I have owed a CTO for about 6 years now and love it. No issues with it at all. I will give you an opinion on something. In my experience I like cooking with charcoal and baseball size wood CHUNKS added throughout with the gas on to ignite and assist. I think this method provides a cleaner smoke than the gas blowing on logs. To me the gas blowing on complete logs tastes a little dirty. You may find it to be different, but that’s my contribution to your adventure. You will definitely love the Ol Hickory.
Thanks Harrill and thanks for the tips. I'll be experimenting a lot with this pit for sure.
good looking pit Rus, can't wait to see it in action.
Thanks Tom! Me too! Can't wait!
That is one awesome smoker !!! Love to have one. Derick I pick up my new boat Saturday.
Thanks Gary! We love it! Derek went and picked up a used 17' boat yesterday. He is excited to get it in the water. Thanks again for the plate. Very much appreciated!
Congradulations Rus! Look forward to see you use it
Thank you! Lot more to come
I love it
Wow. That is way beyond home gamer pits. Glad it didn't get dropped during the unloading. Quality. Beautiful pit Rus.
It's in a league of its own for sure! It arrived in mint condition. Not one single ding. Thanks, I appreciate you watching Brian!
@@SmokyRibsBBQ It was great hearing you talk about the pit in the live the night before. Cheers.
I'm in love with this pit don't tell my wife lol
Me too Jorge! Thanks for checking the video out!
Looks like they thought of everything at OleHickory! Great pit!
They got it going on and have for many years. Top of the line pit here Mike. Thanks for watching!
Can’t wait to see you use this pit, brother!
You and me both Mike! I'm seriously excited about this pit. Not many pits I can say that about. Thanks for checking it out!

Thank you Russ for the video. I have a CTO and I love it. May I ask to see a brisket cook for your next video
You’re welcome and I know you are loving the CTO! I don’t know if brisket will be the next cook but it’s coming soon.
Nice rig, Rus 🤘
Thanks John, I appreciate you stopping by!
WoW brother 💯👍
Nice as a 57 chevy belair
That's one heck of a cooker. Can't wait to see it in action. Let me know if you want some of that Australian pine You'll have to give it a try.
It will be in action very soon Jack. I don't think I've ever heard of Australian pine?? Can meat be smoked with that? Is it anything like our pine?
@@SmokyRibsBBQ I did a video with it. Smoked some Flanken beef ribs, And put in some info about it. It's nothing like our pine.
I had the opportunity to cook on a commercial one 20 yrs ago. I was too young to appreciate the simplicity and convenience. Fast forward to today. Helped cater a wedding. 20 briskets and 30 lbs of sausage. All the work was loading and unloading. Luckily i was only brought in to slice briskets. Easy money.
These pits were definitely designed with restaurants in mind. I'm glad they eventually made residential models based on the big boys.
NYCE !!!
Question about the physical placement of the smoker. How far away from the house should you cook with the smoker? I assume if you cook with the smoker up close to your house it may permeate the house with smoke? Or maybe it should be far away in case of some type of grease fire? How many feet from the house do your recommend?
Outstanding video brother, that is a beautiful smoker . Can’t wait to see some barbecue come off the smoker
Thanks Thyron I appreciate it!
That's one hell of a pit Rus. Looking forward to see that voodoo you do come off that thing. Congrats!
Thanks for checking it out Troy! This pit is going to be such a pleasure to smoke meats on.
Malcolm Reed (Killer Hogs)uses this brand in comps and at home, he’s actually a few years ago I believe did a tour of the manufacturer.
Yes he does as well as many many more competition teams.
Hi Rus, I can help with your question of the blue 6” casters, they are an upgrade option at $142.00, there is also a “crating fee” of $185.00 as well. All this information will be on your quote and invoice when you call and order from ole hickory. There is no sales tax charged when shipped outside the state of Missouri also. Sounds like this pit was sent to you for promotion, hopefully this additional information helps.
I met the guys with Ole Hickory at Memphis in May in 2022, and I was told then that they would send me an Ole Hickory Ultra Que and I must say I was very excited because I have been wanting an Ole Hickory for years! Ole Hickory typically don't work with content creators, so I'm very happy they decided to work with me, and I can't wait for this extreme heat to end so I can fire it up for another cook and video. If you look in the description you will see that Ole Hickory is a sponsor for this video. I legally have to mention that since they donated the pit to me.
@@SmokyRibsBBQ thanks Rus, please keep getting these ole hickory videos on line! Can’t wait for the next one!
Looking forward to the first cook on that one. I’ll get my channel back going soon
Me too Bo! Thanks for checking the video out!
What type of tool/machine do you use to cut your log splits to fit in that small firebox? Thanks for all of your previous help!
It will hold full splits. It's not as small as you think. Some of these splits are around 18", but to answer your question, we use an ax to split the wood and we use a chainsaw to cut the wood to the length we want.
I'm jealous! I built restaurants across the USA and I remember the Southern Pride in the Smokey Bones that I built for Darden. I'm really liking your channel Rus, I got a plate for you, would you like a pic to see if you are interested? If so how do I send it to you? I think you will get a kick out of it!
Glad you are enjoying the videos! If you go to my "about" page here: www.youtube.com/@SmokyRibsBBQ/about you will find my email address. Just drop me a line there about where to send the plate to. Thank you, I appreciate you donating a plate.
Hi Rus, I may have missed this info on your video, but, did you purchase this pit with your own money, or was it provided to you by ole hickory for promotion on you tube? Thanks’
Man, that is a real sturdy looking smoker there! There are so many different styles. Hard to keep up with. Your going to need a bigger area! Lol
It's on top of smokers Sam and I'm so excited to have it. Yes they have over 20 models from huge to residential sizes like this one. Never enough room haha
The pinnacle of all smokers
It truly is! Thanks for watching!
I was familiar with this brand. But I thought all they made was commercial units for restaurants. So they make units for residential, interesting. I'm very curious to see how it works out. It's a sad day when I see restaurants using traeger cookers when they could be using "Old Hickory " cookers. I have seen some OH smokers mounted in the back of some foodtrailers. Rus have a great day 🌞.
Yes, that's exactly why I wanted to let people know that they do make residential models. I have owned a few Chinese pits in the past but I have gotten rid of all of them and I only own and use USA built smokers and pits except for my Fontana pizza oven. It was built in Italy which I have no problem with. Very high quality. Thanks for watching Victor and have a great weekend!
@Smoky Ribs BBQ as to Italian manufacturers I agree, most are excellent. Cooking equipment especially. I love the BCS two wheeled tractors, amazing equipment. Anyway so what are you going to cook first? I'm looking forward to seeing what ever that is. Heck if I had a salmon fillet now I'd send it to you. My foot should hopefully be healed enough to get out for our spring salmon fishing season. I'll keep you and that smoker in mind. 🔥👍🎣🐟😋
was there any special installation setting up this smoker near your house - or did you just simply connect to ole Hickory to a propane/natural gas line and a 110 outlet?
Roll it where you want it, hook up gas and power and your in business
Thank you!!@@SmokyRibsBBQ
Damn that baby is a beauty! I don't even want to know what one might cost 😂
It sure is! Thanks for watching!
Getter Done Russ and kool bearded Son!😉😉😁😁😆😆👍👍💖💖🤘🤘
Thanks for watching
so what is ballpark price? dont see pricing on website?
I don't know exactly, but somewhere between 5 to 6K
Good pit obviously capable of cooking some fine bbq, at least as long as you don’t use gas. Maybe this pit is different but my experience with gas smokers has been they produce very little smoke flavor.
I do plan on using both the gas and also charcoal and wood for comparison reasons. For the record these pits put out plenty of smoke while using gas. The gas is mainly to start the fire and to rekindle as needed. Thanks for watching!
Need a comparison between this pit and the LSG pellet smoker to see which produces the better smoke profile.
I already know which one will win. That Ole Hickory is in a class of its own. Flavor equal or better than a offset, but the convenience of a pellet smoker, and very efficient. I'm passing my LSG pellet grill on to my youngest son.
@@SmokyRibsBBQ So even if you’re using gas as your main fuel source and creating smoke by adding chunks of wood you’re saying it will produce a better end product then a pellet smoker using all wood?
@@Pete_or_Peter4Long Technically you are burning wood, but it is gas assist which means the burner will come on when the temp drops below your desired setting such as 250F. The burner will literally only fire off for around 10 seconds and then back out. The wood is the source for the smoke and heat, but being thermostatically controlled, it will run itself. As an option you can use charcoal wood combination if you don't want to use gas, but gas is way more economical than charcoal but the option is there. I couldn't believe that flavor I got from that pit!
@@SmokyRibsBBQ So on a brisket how much wood will you go through? And if it regulates it’s own temperature why did you say the pellet smoker is much more convenient?
I said the ole hickory taste like a offset smoker but has the convenience of a pellet grill. It’s super efficient on wood so 1 quarter split of wood will last up to 6 hours. If your brisket takes 18 hours to cook you will use about 3 splits. Can’t beat that!
There wasn’t a price on the website 😮
You have to contact them for pricing Sheena. Now days prices change rapidly on everything
Love the new toy!!
I do too
What’s the Price on this thing??? And do you think it will work on a food truck?
Yes it will easily fit on a food truck. You will have to contact Ole Hickory through their website for pricing
I have one. I think it gets the best flavor and presentation of any of the smokers I ever used
Awesome! Just what I want to hear!
What cookers have you used?
How does your chicken come out on this ? I saw one video, where a competitor said it does not come out as moist as he would like, so he uses GMG so his comp chicken. Condidering purchasing one, reason for the question
@@BIGEBQ than he’s doing something wrong. Very flavorful and moist
Why do many bbq competitions consider it illegal to have gas assist???
I really don’t know, I suppose they consider it cheating or too convenient perhaps
What is the price range, approx.
I think around the 5 to 6K range. You would have to contact Ole Hickory for a accurate price
How much that cost
You can contact Ole Hickory from their website for pricing info. The link is in the description box. Thanks for watching.
How much is it
You can get pricing by contacting Ole Hickory from their website
How much? The website doesn't give a price, so it must be very expensive.
The website says to contact them. Ole Hickory's are not cheap. I'm not talking about just the price either. It's really about the same price as many of today's high end offset smokers. There are even a few pellet grills that gets close to its price range. You will have to contact them yourself for a exact price. In today's world prices are changing daily with everything.
Your have bigger wheels than mines I’m calling them tomorrow
Yeah, that's what mine came with. I like the size compared to the smaller ones.
Bet it's expensive
Yes it is, but there are Chinese pits that cost almost as much. Ole Hickory will stand the test of time.
I'll buy MADE IN USA. I BOYCOTT ANYTHING MADE IN CHINA
Starting to hate BBQ competition. Smokers and grills should NOT be plugged in. It’s almost a baking competition. What happened to stick burners?! I understand home use but competition? Weak!
I know what you are saying, but in today's competitions anything goes pretty much. Even pellet grills. I don't compete, but as far as great smokers go, this Ole Hickory outperforms any smoker I've ever owned including my offset. It's design lays smoke on meat like no other. There is no wonder why they are used in BBQ restaurants across the world (and competitions). These smokers definitely give a person an advantage. Fair or not.
I have a Lonestar stick burner a big green egg and a Pitt&Spitts pellet grill. Would it be worth my investment for one of these grills? They look awesome. What is your opinion?
I've owned and do own the LSG offset, and pellet grill. I have owned two Kamado Joe's and I still own a Pitts & Spitts flat top grill and I love them all but this Ole Hickory became my most favorite smoker out of everything I've ever owned!
Thanks for the reply. I think I will look into it. My biggest thing I’ll have to find room for it lol
I just recently got the ace JW which is the cheapest one they have now and the prices are over $5000 for the cheapest one they have now I hear they raise them all almost $1000 in May. It burns wood and charcoal I like it so far but sometimes I wonder boy that’s a lot of money, but I’m sure it’s well worth it.
