Enjoyed the video. Just picked up the gas model @ a local hardware store , here in Houston TX. on sale for $60.00 I figured, i couldn't go wrong at that price. Im going to check out some videos, before i use it.
Ricardo I now recomend the Big Easy 3 in 1 smoker roaster and grill propane model. It has become my go to smoker, I have some vids on it and since buying it I have not used my electric big easy except for smoking bologna
+ MrBbged great job with both cookers now that gas cooker if you really wanted to add smoke to those ribs just buy a small smoker box that you light and place it in the bottom of the cooker and Whila magic you'll have perfectly smoked food have a blessed day and thanks for sharing this video with us all amazing awesome looking ribs
First of your videos I have watched. This is what I really like. You did a great comparison in a real life situation and got the opinions of more than one person. Thanks for taking the time to make this great video. Now I am going to buy the electric one online and then binge-watch the rest of your videos. :)
I really like your take on the Char Broil Big Easy both gas and electric (that's what we have) like your BBQing and your teachings,,,,keep it up,,,,,like to see ya do some tender slow meats (blue collar affordable,,,,but is real tough) like to see try to turn a rump or a chuck into a New York steak tender,,,,we cant seem to get the hang of it,,,,,,once again,,,love your bbq videos!
Ed I absolutely enjoy your video and your tasting pro love her comment. I have just purchased the roster, smoker and grill. Please continue to make these great and helpful videos.
I have the gas big easy myself, love doing ribs in there. I've fit 3 racks in at a time, but I wrap them in aluminum foil first and I flip them long was half way through or the top won't get cooked. But you can do 3 full racks like that in about 90 minutes =)
Very good review & comparison Ed. As best I can figure, you can not smoke with the gas model but obviously can with the electric one. Would that be correct? As a part time condo dweller (no open flame cooking allowed) and a long time oil fryer user, I am tending to lean towards the electric Big Easy. To me the smoking aspect is also a big advantage. I have friends that have the propane model and absolutely love it. Thanks again Ed. Your daughter is precious sir!
Great video, thanks Ed. I noticed you left the ribs in the propane Big Easy uncovered. Would placing the griddle on top of the Big easy affect the cooking time or browning? Thanks again for the great videos!
Where is the lid on the gas cooker? And there's definitely a smoke box on the side of my gas Big Easy. Is this an older model? My dad, my brother, and I all have a gas one and we smoke everything in it. It's a miracle of modern culinary invention. Nice review btw, ribs look awesome!!
Ya'll must have the 3 in 1 smoker and roaster and grill, I have one now and it is far above the other Big easy cookers. It is now my go to smoker . I have since made a couple of videos using it
Just for curiosity why didn't you smoke in the gas and i noticed you didn't close the top. what temp would you have cooked the ribs on if you had the cover on the gas and were smoking them. i know i'm a pain in the butt.
+James Dusch This was the original Gas Big Easy Oil less Turkey Fryer it does not have a smoke box or a lid just a wire cover you use when below 40 degrees. The Gas 3 in 1 Big Easy does have a smoke box and a Lid and is now my favorite big easy. You can smoke, roast , grill and still oil less deep fry in it and it has a larger cooking chamber. Since this video I have sold my electric Big Easy because it was collecting dust :). Thanks for watching (y)
I bought the new 3 in 1 ,,and my question is when putting it together, the little copper tube just lays inside the propane tube behind the knobs correct.dont gas escape threw there?
I have the original , my basket looks filthy too. I am afraid to put it in my self cleaning oven. I wonder if I could.........I am tempted to buy the new one
Ed what kind of ribs are those you are cooking ? I never seen ribs with a flap of meat on them, its like a rib steak ? Due to this video of yours, i went and got a Big Easy Oil-Less. Turkey Frier and love everything i have cooked in in it ! Thanks Steve
Roy G when you first fire it up turn the knob all the way up to high to lower the temp turn it counter clockwise to your desired setting you can see the flame getting smaller if you look down the side of the cooker
LINDA BELLANGER From watching the video: The gas cooker has only one setting: ON. The electric one he explained twice that he set his for 525 until the wood chips started smoking, then he turned the temp down to 450 for the remainder of the 2 hours.
Hey Ed, I also live here in Fla. You wouldn't by chance, be here in P.C. would ya? The neighborhood you are in looks a lot like the Cove. I'm over in Cedar Grove. Was just wondering. You look like someone I know. Someone I've ran into at Boyette and Casey or somewhere... lol
Joe- re watch the video. he states the high temp is 525 and has a low of "125"..states that at 12 his temp is 450..and the gauge works in increments of 25..the math doesn't work...if the smoker decreases the temp at 25 per is has to increase as well. with a on temp that has the lowest achieved temp of 125 at 12 per 25 the temp would be 400
+Jonny Zero Who said I never smoked meat? I have thousands of times. I also clean. Have you even watched your video or looked at how filthy your grills are?

Thanks for taking the time to do this video! Good comparison. I have the gas version & love it. Nice work.
I own one of the very few units that were imported into Australia. Just used it to cook a 15 pound Turkey. Done to perfection.
Thanx Chef Ed! As I get older, I look for things to make my life and my cooking easier. The electric version is the one for me.
Ricardo I now recomend the Big Easy 3 in 1 smoker roaster and grill propane model. It has become my go to smoker, I have some vids on it and since buying it I have not used my electric big easy except for smoking bologna
Thanks for doing this, guys!! Greatly appreciated!

cadillacred178 where do you get the smoker box?

I use medal skewers, cut to fit across the basket that allows me to hang 4 slabs per basket.....works real well.
Hey thanks for that Ed. Gonna pick one up. Hope things are going well and good eating!

Looked like you did a good job...two thumbs up to you doc...i have one now im going to try some ribs...

looking very good
Thanks, going to have to check Wal-Mart out ! I go to Sams and got ribs there, but never seen big ones like that there ?
great video!
Great video, thanks Ed. I noticed you left the ribs in the propane Big Easy uncovered. Would placing the griddle on top of the Big easy affect the cooking time or browning? Thanks again for the great videos!
Phenry....you should shoot a video on how you did this.....very interested in seeing
Thanks for doing the video but smoking one and not the other isn't a fair comparison.
Do the gas big easy give the ribs that charcoal like taste?
Very good video, I saw videos on this and now I want one. Your video is the most informative, I enjoyed it. One question, is there a grease catcher?
Karl Dittman yes it does have a grease catcher on the bottom
Can you smoke in the gas one? Have you tried it?
Where is the lid on the gas cooker? And there's definitely a smoke box on the side of my gas Big Easy. Is this an older model? My dad, my brother, and I all have a gas one and we smoke everything in it. It's a miracle of modern culinary invention. Nice review btw, ribs look awesome!!

goog ribs, where can i get those big easy electric smoker locally
Looks like u could put 3 halves in the gas fryer without too much touching! Definitely adding this to my pick up list..... #Coolbeans!
They have this at Lowe's right now for $59. If you have a $10 off $50+ coupon code, you can get it cheaper. I just picked one up for around $52.
I bought the new 3 in 1 ,,and my question is when putting it together, the little copper tube just lays inside the propane tube behind the knobs correct.dont gas escape threw there?
No it works fine I am not an engineer lol and wondered the same thing but that is the way they designed it and it works.
+MrBbqed. thanks so much I thought I was going to blow up
No problem , I think you will enjoy this cooker :)
I have the original , my basket looks filthy too. I am afraid to put it in my self cleaning oven. I wonder if I could.........I am tempted to buy the new one
never attempt to clean oven racks in a self cleaning oven i forgot to remove mine in the process i ruined them i'm sure the basket would do the same
This one taste like chicken. lol
Nice video. The jumping around with the camera was distracting...
Ed what kind of ribs are those you are cooking ? I never seen ribs with a flap of meat on them, its like a rib steak ? Due to this video of yours, i went and got a Big Easy Oil-Less. Turkey Frier and love everything i have cooked in in it ! Thanks Steve
Spareribs
Did you cook the gas ones on high, medium, or low? Were cooking the ribs today in our Big Easy and are not sure what temp to use!
I start out on high until it starts smoking and then turn it down to just about a 1/4 away from the lowest setting
Did not know u can adjust temp on the gas unit. How?
Roy G when you first fire it up turn the knob all the way up to high to lower the temp turn it counter clockwise to your desired setting you can see the flame getting smaller if you look down the side of the cooker
Thanks, did not know the flame was adjustable. Always turned it to fully open.
Kind of camera?
Thanks
This was filmed with my old Flip 720 cam
Chicken ribs!!
Hi Ed What is the temperature are you cooking the chicken on??
LINDA BELLANGER From watching the video: The gas cooker has only one setting: ON. The electric one he explained twice that he set his for 525 until the wood chips started smoking, then he turned the temp down to 450 for the remainder of the 2 hours.
Thank you
Hey Ed, I also live here in Fla. You wouldn't by chance, be here in P.C. would ya? The neighborhood you are in looks a lot like the Cove. I'm over in Cedar Grove. Was just wondering. You look like someone I know. Someone I've ran into at Boyette and Casey or somewhere... lol
I am in Saint augustine
Joe- re watch the video. he states the high temp is 525 and has a low of "125"..states that at 12 his temp is 450..and the gauge works in increments of 25..the math doesn't work...if the smoker decreases the temp at 25 per is has to increase as well. with a on temp that has the lowest achieved temp of 125 at 12 per 25 the temp would be 400
what are you drinking there brother? :D
That would be a bourbon and coke :)
Well there's 19:06 I'll never get back.
Sean Corbett Well there's an internet troll I can't un-read.
Your garage is a mess clean it
Wow, the baskets and grills looked totally filthy and disgusting. erk...I think I just threw up a little.
+Scott Kelly You should probably stick to McDonald's and other places where you don't have to see the food cooked
+Jonny Zero Actually I'm a trained chef, not a pig.
+Scott Kelly a "trained chef" that has never smoked meats? OK
+Jonny Zero Who said I never smoked meat? I have thousands of times. I also clean. Have you even watched your video or looked at how filthy your grills are?
Makes the meat taste better.
