ever since restoring my grandfather's smoker, I haven't stopped watching your videos! you give me motivation and drive! your videos are on point and very informative! Thanks for all the help! Hoping to work my way up to an off set smoker and start smoking like a BOSS, such as yourself!
Awesome honest reviews and showing goods and bads, you’ve been dropping amazing material on these vids thanks !
I use the nexgrill and have for 3 years in humid, soggy Florida. This Christmas Im finally getting an upgrade! Im so excited to pick out a great smoker! great video!
As always... informative and the outtakes are gold
Dude, you have some of the best videos out there. Whats with the ridiculous commercials? Really?
Great video! The video I've always wanted, looking forward to the brisket cook you talked about!
Thank you for this video. It also tells me what type I should try and build.
Love your channel! I’m 17 and in the beginning of building a 300gal trailer reverse flow pit! Your videos have helped a ton and I can’t wait to use your tips on a real offset!
Great video sir! I’ve learned a lot from watching your videos! Thanks for all you do!!👍🏻👍🏻
Great comparison video! Just what I needed to see! Thank you!
Can’t wait for the comparison cook off!!! Thanks again Jeremy 😊👍👍
the outtakes are great!
Thanks so much! I'm about to buy an offset smoker and you've given me some great information.
Love the outtakes, it proves we're all human!
I’m cooking on a Chargriller Grand Champ XD. Have a few issues with temperature swings.. also added 2 Tel-Tru gauges. Still a little challenge keeping steady temps with only sticks. Great info on the comparison.
Love how you give your honest opinion. That's why when I watched your videos a couple of years ago I bought the Brazos. Great smoker for the money.
Good timing, I was one of those who emailed you asking about recommended stick burners :) Thanks!
I just started watching you're video's. Very Very well put together lot's of useful information 👏👍👏👏👏 and how to smoke meat. What more could a person ask for!!!!🤯🤯💯💯💯💯
Thank you for taking the time to walk us through the pros and cons of each. Your reviews and feedback on smokers have been super helpful for me. Did Fatstacks tell you when their backyard smoker is rolling out?
Great evaluation and summary, thanks!
Love the content and the bloopers are great! 😂
Started out with a OKJ offset and now have a 500 gallon reverse flow and love it.
Thanks! Everything you do is helpful!!
Dude, your content is soooooooo sooooo sooooo helpful! Thank you.
Love your videos thank you for your time and experience.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Great vid!! I second the Lonestar review!!
Thanks and I Guess you meant when you said you had bigger plans ;) I just finished my workhorse / franklin / mills ale knock off build using 3/8 wall thickness. I got her to 12 degree swing end to end and burning dead clear for the seasoning / first fire. It was a fun build but when I get ready for a 500 I am breaking out the check book. Thanks for the outstanding content.
Hey Jeremy, great video as always. Great explanations of each one. I just found out recently when you were still in Cali, you gave our pastors your Old Country reverse smoke smoker. We just call him Pastor Adam, but yall were buddies in seminary. Keep up the great vids! Love watching them.
I love that you spread the love. BBQ for life!!!
Thank you very much for the in put. It just helped me make up my mind.👍👍👍
Thanks for putting out kick ass videos. You inspired me to step away from my pellet smoker and into the drivers seat of my Lang 64" offset. I'm actually doing my first cook as we speak. So far looks and smells amazing 🤘
How'd it turn out?
Thanks for the video question response to my brisket questions. It was great. I’m thinking about moving to an offset. This is perfect timing.
great comparison video Jeremy ... I enjoy the content
That blind test sounds great but the cooking on all of the offsets will be really fun, can't wait for that vid.
Awesome man! I’m going to share this with my buddies who think I have too many pits...you win 😆👍🏻
Great vid, I always enjoy watching the content. I started on a Char-Griller offset to the OHJ Highland putting in the “man hours” I have a Meadow Creek TS 500+BBQ 42 trailer on the way. July arrival I can’t wait!!!!
Very helpful and actually entertaining
My first smoker was an Oklahoma Joes Highland Offset smoker. It gave me the fundamental experience I needed to learn the basics of BBQ and understand what good tasting BBQ is all about. Cost me $350 off QVC. Definitely had a lot of fun and the fire management is my favorite part. If your favorite part is not fire management, buy a pellet grill. I even bought a Weber brand digital probe where I was able to watch the temps off my phone through the Weber app. Now, in 2021 I recently bought a Recteq 1250 Pellet Grill for around $1600, plus $90 for the cover and another $100 for 5 bags (or 200lbs) of Hickory, red oak, and white oak blend pellets. With taxes it came up to just around $2,000. Since now I want to just cook my BBQ often with ease. Hoping you will do a video review on them since they are built to last 30 years
Great video as always
I’m on a 10 week waiting list (9 weeks left) for my custom built Bell Fabrication Backyard grill. Can’t wait to use a real offset toward the end of summer!
great video. great comparisons
Great video. I kind of already knew the end result. I have the OKJ Reverse Flow. Greta smoker but I'm wanting to cater and a 500 gal. offset would be perfect. Thanks Jeremy
Life goals.
A smoker collection the size of yours.
my sister said i was a horder. I have 3 BBQs and 3 tanks ready to be made into an offset.. I disagreed with her and said NO BBQ FOR YOU!
Just make bbq videos that copy content from others.
@@dabearcub copy content??? What do you mean by that???
@@Einh0ven yup
@@dabearcub so who should I be watching then?
Great vid, thanks for the insight and for sharing.
Thank you for the great content!
Love this Jeremy. Waiting on that brisket cook comparison because I have an okie Joe longhorn!!
Good job, Jeremy! I was going to say, man, this guy speaks so perfectly! I wonder if he had to retake any segments, and then you shared and gave us a great laugh. It takes a healthy amount of humility to share one's bloopers. I ordered a Backyard Classic from Gator Pits, TX. I think I'm gonna love it. Have you ever cooked on a Gator Pit?
Great Comparison I’m in the process of getting a smoker , this was soo helpful 👌👌👌
Great timing for me with a video comparison and recommendations of your offset smokers. I have a smaller Oklahoma Joe 1/4 inch thick offset that has been very solid for me to date.
I wanted the nudge to move up in firebox and cook chamber capacity with a few recommendations for me to look at when buying. Thanks for providing these as it really helped me focus on what I will be adding to my back yard this summer for my next backyard smoker.
I ordered the workhorse 1969 earlier this week. The wait on the Franklin was 1.5 to 2 years currently and I could get the workhorse plus second rack plus a couple upgrades plus freight to Utah for less than the Franklin.
I'm really excited!
That's a. Better buy with thicker metal, larger cooking space... I'm actually planning to get 1975 once I have space.
I have a 1975. It’s awesome
@@barbersque Same here.
@@barbersque do you have the cowboy grill on yours?
I have one of the older Oklahoma Joe’s and just love it. Great smoker for backyard.
I have been using the Oklahoma Joe smoker for years now. Very heavy duty smoker l that you can get at a box store anyone can buy. Absolutely love it. For most of us this is all we need. I bought it new and won't break the bank. Keep her sprayed down every time i use it and looks new.
I have had an Oklahoma Joe Highlander since 2015. $199 NEW, on sale. Your review is exactly correct.
It took me a few cooks, but now I have mastered it and make great barbeque on it. Seriously, our friends always ask when they will be invited for more brisket, ribs or pork butt! When we go to Christmas or New Year's parties I bring a pan of sliced up brisket or ribs and everyone waits until it gets there to eat!
We used to go to restaurants a couple time a month and now haven't been to a restaurant in years! For 1/3 the restaurant price I can make better steaks, shrimp, brisket, ribs at home!
It is kept outside (covered) and it shows no signs of rusting through. Every year, I give it a thorough pressure wash and touch up paint any exterior areas which had rust. I think it will last another 10 years easily. I have replaced the grill grates once and purchased a griddle section which I use for making "smash burgers". I use it both as a smoker and as a grill. I have replaced the thermometers a couple times, other than that...it keeps on smokin'
Had my first offset smoker delivered yesterday after watching this and other BBQ channels for the past few months. Nothing fancy, especially for the UK, but I got a Char-Griller Wrangler with the side grill/fire box. She is together, seasoned and applied most of the advised mods I have seen online; Used gasket tape for the seals, extend the chimney to grill level and upgraded the charcoal bin to something a bit deeper. As well as the always advised install of two grill level thermometers on either side... I can honestly say, so far, that the temps were pretty consistent and I had zero observable leaks... Ready for the first cook in it tomorrow, 4kg Pork Loin! I have all of your advice written down, sprays ready and any other thing I could remember! Here's hoping I'll be tasting a little bit of Texas here in the UK come Sunday!
Thanks for the content man, much BBQ love from the UK 🌎🥩✌
EDIT: For people actually in the UK, for a smoker around the £300 mark... I don't think you can get much better for the price with the mods advised.
Enjoy !!!
Remember to use the foil boat . Make some tallow also . Good luck !!
@@dimestoreharry3344 I had some tallow ready, wrapped it in butchers paper and the foil boat... Cooked 5.5 hours in total and, for my first attempt, it was honestly the best barbecue I've had outside of a smokehouse. Here's to more of it!

@@MrStehooper Nice !!
Excellent! Thanks again!
Try a competition between Franklin vs Lone Star Grillz offset.
Love to see it from you
There you go
Lone Star is definitely what I'm looking at if I ever get the space to cook with an offset. I just don't have the land to do it right now.
@@shawngillogly6873 I've had mine for about 6 months now an love it. Beef ribs, Pork ribs, pork butts, wings and Pastrami I find every excuse to fire it up.
The lone star grillz 20x36 will be my next smoker
@@douggore1431 that's a nice one!!
Love my LANG 36" Reverse flow cooker/grill/smoker. So easy to operate. 665 pounds of 1/4" steel. Solid.
I only just got into making my own BBQ a couple years ago. Up until then i was using a standard Weber Grill (Still do for Grilling) and received a Chargriller 50/50 with a side firebox as an anniversary gift.. At the time when I was looking them up I really didn't know anything about grills or side fireboxes. I just kind of thought they were all the same unless you want to spend $5k. I love my grill but I definitely see that for a few extra bucks to get a Brazos or an OK Joe are totally worth it. I think my wife will kill me if I have 3 grills for something I do once every couple months. So when my 50/50 goes out I'm going to step up. I love that you don't make people feel like if they can't afford a smoker with a tow trailer that they can't make BBQ and you showed it in one of your videos. Love your stuff keep it coming!
Great video! Can’t say I’m surprised with the results of the comparison, but I can say I’m pumped to watch the brisket comparison! May need to bring in an extra set of hands to help manage all the fires though lol. Blind taste test like the video you did with your 500 gallon/reverse offset/big green egg/ pellet grill?? That’s the video that sold me on offset smokers and got me on my bbq path!
I got the Nexgrill for my first smoker. It does the job for about one summer then its crap. But I made a killer brisket and a bunch of good ribs on it. I would recommend as your first smoker.
Great video again !! Bought brazos on your old video. Came too damaged to use but looked like great pit sent back. In meantime got call if interested in Franklin Pit. Bought Franklin and absolutely love it. No leaks ( sorry you have that) It's ridiculously easy to use. Insulated firebox helps .Totally agree with your assessment on price point and maybe cooking space, but Im not cooking for masses. Mill Scale looks good but more $$ . Workhorse 1975 looks like best similar for about $1000 less. Brazos in league of itself. That being said after some cooks on this, no buyers remorse at all ! Keep up the great content.
I’ve had the Old Country Pecos (Brazos little brother) for several years. It’s been very good. Held up well, and $449 in today’s price at Academy. Highly recommend for the price.
Great content, Dude! I enjoy your channel, thanks...
Just found an old OK Joe after your first video about it!! Gonna be a great source for practice before upgrading!
Great video. Love the collection. What do you think about Lone Star Grillz?
Thanks for the comparison.
Good stuff as always Jeremy. I would love a real stick burner, maybe someday.
This vid was great! I’ve been using WSM for the longest time and in the market for an offset. Thanks!
Can't wait for the comparison video!
Thanks Jeremy, good video...wondering your thoughts on the Lonestar grills series? I noticed you have never had one or commented on one. Thanks again
Thank you the comparison. Answers a lot of questions .
Future holds a cook on each at the same time? Wow, that’ll be something.
I own a Brazos and I love it. Great comparison!
Great idea to cook on all smokers. I really want to watch that. Gj man.
Very helpful thanks Jeremy, I’m now looking for a smoker than can handle cooking for 60-80 since the normal crowd is 30-40ish... I’m thinking a 250 gallon offset is a good one for me.
Dude got the smallest bowl he can find for his cereal lol
Needed a big Tupperware bowl...orange in color and go to town. lol
Giant bowl of captn crunch plus G-Force or Gi Joe cartoons.
😂🤣
4 net carbs...per half cup, lol.
Smoked cereal challenge as a joke. Two weeks later, number-one video trend on UA-cam.
So wanted this video thank you so much. I've bought so many grills over the years that looked awesome and absolutely had no flavor when you finish smoking
That's why its a craft.
Jeremy great comparison video Sir😀
Just ordered my FatStack 120.
Now I can blame you for all my cooking failures and cite the smoker...
Appreciate this (and all the others) fantastic video!
Hey Jeremy thanks for the review. I think you need to get a Yoder Smoker made in Hutchinson KS for obvious reasons.
Can’t wait for the comparison test👍🏿👍🏿
This was great. Just sold my Oklahoma Joe’s Longhorn combo smoker / grill which wasn’t that great and have been eying the Brazos. This confirms it for me.
Been smoking for four years and i am now ready to trade up my Old Country Brazos for a Lang. Its been a great pit but the Lang can burn larger splits for a longer time between adding logs.
Extremely helpful. I am in the process of looking for a new backyard smoker. Currently have a 22" WSM and an old Brinkman. Fatstack is definitely in my list of ones I'm looking at and didn't know they were coming out with a backyard model. 👍👍
I’m looking to upgrade to a 18” WSM….what’s your pros and cons of it?
great info sir
Great job thanks
My first offset I built was from a 150 gallon oil drum I was 20 I best thing I put in it was a baffle from the fire box into the cook chamber to disperse the heat.
Just in time for Father’s Day! :-) Thanks!
Thank you for all the great information. I was all set to purchase the Weber Smokey Mountain 22.5 and was working to save up the 500.00 when I found someone actually giving away an Oklahoma Joe on my local FB marketplace. I figure for free, and some work cleaning and getting new grates for it, its not in that bad of shape and the price is right. I had decided on the WSM due to the ease of use, but figure I will give this a try for this year and see how things go.
Thanks for another great video! You just sold me on the Workhouse 1975!
💯💯💯💯
Awesome thanks
This was very helpful for me this video thank you very much because one day I want to open a Smokehouse on wheels to do weddings and parties and events and festivals I've been practicing myself since the last year-and-a-half and I'm been getting better every time especially on my Oklahoma Joe smoker from (Canada, Quebec, Chelsea)
Great Video. I bought the Brazos because of your videos. I then had it modified. I added four good casters, a collector and tall 6" stack. Draws much better.
Awesome. I am gonna add stack length and remove the baffle plate
excellent review and tips . thoughts on smoking with a weber kettle.
BTW,,,that cereal is very interesting
Hey Jeremy! I'm smoking a couple of pork shoulders tonight and thought I hadn't seen you talk about storing large quantities of meat (well for my wife and I, 15 lbs is large). I pull, then portion into vacuum seal bags and freeze. Mon Dieu, blasphemy? NOT AT ALL. I've got flats of pulled pork always in my freezer, and I challenge anyone to tell the difference between just pulled and months frozen properly. I cannot tell after a 150-170F water bath (sous vide is great for this), cut it open and smells and tastes like I JUST pulled it. Amazing. This is probably old news to you, but if not, a great way to super fast pulled pork, or hint, catering this cut without the stress! Rock on!
You just nailed my Saturday morning routine from childhood well into my adult life
Great video! I would love o see you cook on the Franklin and a LoneStarGrillz or Gator Pit, Shirley, or whatever, for about the same value of 4000.
Tl;dr: I was 20yo, living on the bank of a river, making BBQ in a converted drum. My mom bought me a Char-Griller Pro for my 21st bday, and I used that thing for 20 years until it just failed entirely on me. Metal wasn't very thick. Leaked like a siev. Side firebox bracket broke and was hard to use. But I mastered that thing over the course of 20 years, and it legit lasted that long. I just bought a new one last week - I didn't upgrade. I went back to Char-Griller. For anything - shoulder, brisket, ribs, chicken, even suckling pigs, if you treat it right, it's just heat and smoke. For people who don't have a huge budget, take his word for it (proof in his videos), and mine if you'll indulge me - it can be done. I'm 41, 30 years BBQ experience, 20 on a cheap ol' Char-Griller, and I'll face off with Myron Mixon any day of the week (and lose, but still!).
this is a great video! thank you! (this video made me subscribe to this channel)
Hey Jeremy, could you add a gravity-fed smoker in the comparison? I'm curious how it will hold in the blind test!
