Maybe something on a rotisserie?
Funny you should ask. A JoeTisserie arrived today. I’ll be breaking it in soon. 🍻
After watching smoking dad bbq, thanks to you, you should do a trimmed brisket against an untrimmed one... I'm curious as to what you find 🍻
I think the thing that vent management is probably the absolute number one tip you can get when starting with either a #kamadojoe or even just a simple Weber kettle grill. I know it's something I've struggled with and it's a bit surprising how hard it is to find a good answer when you're brand new to the game. Thanks for helping with these #6mistakes. Always insightful and well stated.
Welcome! A little adjustment has a huge impact. 🍻
We use an electric LooftLiter to quickly ignite a small pile of lump in the center-top of the pile, and then just let the dome start heat soaking as the cooker comes up to temp. When the cooker is ready to receive the food, the dome is plenty hot.
Yeah the slower it comes up to temp, the hotter the dome will be. When using a GrillGun it’s hot quick but not heat soaked. 🍻
I actually just reviewed one on home Depot... It failed me after a few months... So disappointed
@@chris_favreau , I've had mine for about eight years, using it several times each week. When it does finally break, I believe it will be replaced with a Grill Blazer.
Best what not to do video ever! Thank you for the information. Well done!
Thanks! Glad you found it helpful. 🍻
Very informative, specifically the lighting process. Thank you! #kamadojoe #6mistakes
Welcome! 🍻
Great tips, thank you for the tips. BTW Li on batteries don’t have memory-that’s what’s so great about them
Perfectly timed video for me Jake, my Kamado Joe Classic III is arriving tomorrow!!! Super excited to get cooking on my new #kamadojoe and hope to avoid these #6mistakes
Awesome congrats! 🍻
Thanks for the video, always learn something about the #kamadojoe and not to make the #6mistakes you referred to. Keep up the good work!
Welcome. 🍻
Great video and well presented.
I do think it is usually best to spend money on quality. However, I did go to Harbor Freight Tools and bought a weed burner for $25 that does the does the same job as the more expensive lighters. Had a bit of a cheap weld for the halo thing, but still works well. Makes me feel a bit more manly and I get a little more exercise carrying out the propane tank and using a wrench to attach the hose. I always use sunglasses and a protective glove when using it to light my charcoal. Really helps speed things up for a cook when I come home from work.
Thanks. Yep that will work as well. 🍻
Great info. I've got the Akorn kamado which is owned by #kamadojoe and have made many of the #6mistakes you talked about. The trickiest thing was getting it dialed in. Once I figured out to use micro adjustments to the dial and give it about 10-15 minutes, it's been all good. I also didn't let it get heat soaked at first and led me chasing temps for a while. Great tips, hope they help someone not make the same mistakes.
Thanks! It’s amazing how a small adjustment can make such a big difference. 🍻
Great video!
Thanks! 🍻
#kamadojoe #6mistakes. This was a great video with nothing but great advice..I think this is one reason you see so many Kamados for sale, people don’t take the time to understand them and how they cook. Will be very happy when I can move up to a big joe for the extra space. Meanwhile I’ll keep firing the Vision.
Yep, many don’t understand how great they are until they learn to use them properly. 🍻
Great video! I overshot my temp big time during my first cook on my BJ3. Almost ruined a prime rib!. Lesson learned though, I haven't done it since! #kamadojoe #6mistakes
Mistakes and failures are great teachers :) 🍻
Just a great video. Thank you. New subscriber here..👍
Thanks much. Welcome! 🍻
Watching your videos before getting a #kamadojoe helped me a lot. These #6mistakes seem to be pretty common easy to avoid. Thanks for the videos.
Yep, simple, but can make your life easier for sure. 🍻
It takes about 10-15 cooks to learn how to handle a kamado. For both low and slow and hot and fast and 2 zone cooking.
Was quicker for me as I had a lot of experience with fire management.
Anyone can get it figured out pretty fast.
Pro tip: don’t over shoot your temp and go slow.
Nice video Jake, you are spot on 100% with everything you said.
Thank you sir. 🍻
Nice job!
Thanks! 🍻
I'm using a Big Green Egg with the Fireboard pro and the aux fan. Will see how it works as I just got the fan. Wanted to get the #kamadojoe but could not find a local dealer that had one in stock. I am been watching your videos for about a month now. Very good content. Hopefully after watching this one, I'll skip over the #6mistakes.
Congrats. Once you get it dialed in you prob won’t need the fan too often. Good luck! 🍻
Never owned or cooked in a #kamadojoe but your tips to avoid ruining a cook are great ones. I do have a gravity feed smoker and good quality charcoal is critical, 100% agree! #6mistakes
Thanks! 🍻
Starting a KJ, I use a KJstarter cube and once the coal shows some ember, grab my batter powered leaf blower, slight squeeze of the trigger…will quickly move the coals into a good burn and I can then begin the process of stabilizing the temp about 5 minutes after lighting the starter cube
#kamadojoe #6mistakes
That works. 🍻
#kamadojoe, #6mistakes Great tips! I always love to pick up new tips and ideas.
Thanks, glad you found it useful. 🍻
Look into getting an adaptor to fill your 1 lbs tanks with a 20 lbs propane tank .Much cheaper .
I have it, just been lazy about carrying it around lol. 🍻
The adapter works great. I use the smaller tanks for the grill on my boat and also for my flybridge heater so it really does cut down on the bottle waste and is much less expensive.
Instructive
Great info for beginners to know before it happens to them. #kamadojoe #6mistakes
Thanks! Hopefully help some get started quick. 🍻
I'm was amazed that ppl buy smoke wood. But then I realized that not everyone lives in the country. Within a short walk from my house I can get pecan, oak, hickory and some fruit wood. I've been using plum from my fruit tree pruning here lately. Works well for me.
lol must be nice! 😊 🍻
I gotta get mine from Lowes..lol
Great advice!!! Get good wood, and every piece of meat is different!!!
Thanks much! 🍻
Glad I didn’t get the battery powered Looftlighter! Nice video…
#kamadojoe #6mistakes
Thanks. Yeah the corded one is better 🍻
Silly question here lol. When you are talking about the temperature and how to set it are you talking about temp in Celcius or Fahrenheit?
No silly questions. I’m talking F. Half my life in Canada and half in the US now. All cooking I do is in F 😁🍻
#kamadojoe #6mistakes Moving from my old weber kettle to a Kamado Joe is definitely on my Christmas wish list.
Hopefully you’ve been extra good this year 🤣🍻
You won! Please email 1rumandcook@gmail.com so I can confirm your email address. 🍻
solid info to avoid #6mistakes if i ever get a #kamadojoe
You should use an adapter, sold online, to refill your green 1 lb tanks off of your 20 lb tank. 😊👍
I tried to find an adapter for that, but I couldn’t find one. They used to make a refillable 1 pound but it’s always out of stock when I have looked. 🍻
When I first got my #kamadojoe I made those #6mistakes but after many cook’s I think I got it down. Get video 🇺🇸🥃
Yeah, I think we all did hah. 🍻
Why not use a chimney starter ? I am still new at it, but that's what I use .
That works, the GrillGun just gets it started in a minute so it’s much quicker. I use it for multiple smokers, pizza oven, and my fire pit. 🍻
Part of perfect BBQ is the time you spend. You’re missing what BBQ is all about. It’s not for people who want to be an entertainer instead of a real chief that searchers for award winning BBQ!
You’re kidding me right? I spend 1000+ hours a year recording UA-cam videos teaching people how to improve their BBQ, honing my skills, and cooking BBQ nearly every weekend and I missing the point?
Backyard BBQ is all about entertaining, sharing your food with friends and improving your skills. 🍻
#kamadojoe #6mistakes great video :)
Thank you 🍻
I would really like to see a video comparing wireless thermometers. I've wanted to get one... Was leaking Meater, but there are so many options now.
@smokingdadbbq just did a full video comparison on 5 or 6 and the MEATER and it came out ahead. 🍻
@@RumandCook did you release the video?? I'm subbed and didn't see it. 🍻
No Smoking Dad BBQ did last week.
@@RumandCook oooohhhhh.... lol... I'm slow apparently... Thank you Jake!
🤣 no prob 🍻
Great video #kamadojoe #6mistakes
Thank you 🍻
Do you know does kamodo has some discount?
They do sales randomly throughout the year. Sometimes you can find them at z Costco as well, but too late in the season for that now. 🍻
For a long time you had a Komodo Kamado - which is what I own. Why did you switch to the Kamado Joe? Is there a problem with the Komodo Kamado?
Nothing wrong with a KK. I switched back to a KJ because the audience is significantly larger and I wanted to be able to help a broader audience. 🍻
Great tips but unfortunately I do not have one 😢. Maybe one day I’ll add a toy and it would be a nice change to get that flavor from the lump. #kamadojoe #6mistakes
Easy fix 🤣 just have to click a couple links hah. 🍻
Get the grill gun. Have more fun.
Good information. Well presented.
#kamadojoe
#6mistakes
Thanks much. 🍻
I had a Komodo grill and I was able to fix all of the problems with this type of grill in 5 minutes. I got tired of the wasted proteins and time trying to figure out this smolder cooker. I gave it to my neighbor and all of its imperfections were gone in 5 minutes. What a relief! Cheers!
I don’t know what kind of Kamado you had, but don’t blame the cooker because you couldn’t figure out how to use it.
I’ve owned several in the last 8 years and own/owned most other types. Kamados make some great food when used properly.
They are one of the most versatile grills/smokers on the market. Not perfect, but can certainly turn out some amazing food. 🍻
@@RumandCook all kettles including Weber and Komodo green egg grills use the same low oxygen flow smoldering charcoal/wood smoke which is the white smoke you see. This smoke profile is fine for your family to lie to you and say the ribs were great. You couldn’t run a successful restaurant using a kettle Komodo. If you did you would be the first. Dirty smoke cookers are for the backyard wanna be pitmaster serving that 💩 to your loving family members. Cheers!
All very good points and I 100% agree with using good quality charcoal! #kamadojoe charcoal is the best…#6mistakes
Thank you. 🍻
Definitely got me thinking of investing in a #kamadojoe
#6mistakes
There are few things they don’t do well. Offset is still the king of smoke, but a KJ does a pretty good job. Pizza is amazing and with a JoeTisserie you have a lot of options. 🍻
