Well I have to say good thing I had just ate before watching the video, that looked very good wtg on the demonstration and explanation of the two smokers and the process. I am still learning beef brisket, but it will be a couple weeks until I get out the smoker.

Why no smoke tube in the Yoder fan blowing only for at least an hour? I did a brisket flat on my Yoder with fan only for about three hours then started the cook great smoke taste!!

Jake I also have the 32” kamado in bronze tiles. Just wanted you to know they are not ceramic grills they are made of two different layers of high-tech refractory cement, big difference. The quality and build on Dennis’s grills can’t be matched by anything on the market, nothing comes close. Enjoy your cooking and have a great day.

Hey Tommy, good point. Ceramic is just burned in my head after having a KJ. Def best built Kamado on the market! Thanks for watching and sharing the comment.

Does the kamado require more attentiveness to keep the temp just right? Like you can’t really leave for a few hours and know for sure it’s not moving, can you?

Great question. Once you learn how to use one they are surprisingly easy to stabilize. You don’t have to babysit it once it is heat soaked and locked in. If it gets windy that can increase the temps a bit, but it depends if the wind is blowing exactly at the vent. Pretty rare though and you could rotate the unit a bit. I use a wireless remote probe to monitor temps, but you rarely have to adjust the vents once it’s locked in.

Enjoying your KZread Channel. About ready to pull the plug on a Yoder YS640. Question: Do you have to complete the cook in the Yoder after wrapping at 165ish? Why not just place in an oven and conserve the use of the pellets? The heat from an oven would seem to be exactly the same as the heat in a Yoder or Kamado. Thanks. Steve

Hey Steve, thanks you could certainly finish it in the oven if you wanted to. Your oven will have greater temp swings in most cases so might take a little longer, but would work. Thanks for watching!

I think the extra tenderness of the Komodo kamado is likely from extended time at those higher temperatures. Cartilage takes temperature and time, so just because they were both taken up to 204, they didn’t necessarily have equal time at those higher temps. Additionally, even after pulling it off, the food will continue to cook, so I anticipate that is the primary driver for the tenderness. Great video, envious of your setup! One other question - did you notice any moisture difference between the two?

@RumandCook

3 жыл бұрын

I hear you, it’s tough to do them completely equal. The Yoder ended up being on higher temps longer because I moved it to the KK once wrapped and turned up the temps a bit to try and get the video complete. They were both pretty close over all, but the KK did get longer to sit. They were both pretty juicy. The next day was the big giveaway as the KK one really had some nice smoke flavor. Both were good though! Thanks for watching.

If I have say 4-5 hours to cook a brisket on my kamado, what would be the optimal temperature?

@RumandCook

2 жыл бұрын

Really depends on the size of brisket, but you are going to have to do a hot and fast for sure. Maybe 300-325 until it’s 165ish and good bark, then wrap, and push to 350f until done. There is a video where Myron Mixon does a Brisket demo on YT. He does a hot and fast with a foil container. I’ve done that cook and it turned out great.

You miss spoke and called the Komodo Kamado cold smoker a Kamado Joe cold smoker...;-)

@@RumandCook the trouble with Kamado's is you are stuck buying something made in china or a $6K one made in indonesia. if you want made in USA you're looking at Yoder, Pitts & Spitts, or one of the man awesome welding fabricator's rigs from all over the US south and midwest/west. I'd love a KK but its out of reasonable price range for me/most people.

You are correct, KJ is made in China, Big Green Egg in Mexico, and KK in Indonesia. For the KK you can get a 21” for significantly less and it’s still bigger than a KJ classic. KK component quality is untouchable by any other brand out there and they are hand made. Unfortunately that comes at a price. Remember though, you can apply these cooking techniques on other smokers. I started and $80 Brinkman Electric smoker and then upgraded to a $300 Weber Smokey Mountain. I’ve turned out some great food on 18” Smokey Mountain and my buddy still uses it today. Yoder turns out some great food as well and most can get away with the 480 to save some money.

Very true. At the time I didn’t realize there was such a big difference in temp between the racks. I’ll be redoing this again, I now have an offset so I think it’s time for a 3 way battle. Thanks for the feedback and watching.

The more I use my Weber Summit Charcoal Center, along with my Fireboard temperature and probe system, I find it's the best of all world's for me for the money, and the available time I have to grill and smoke. Lighter than a ceramic grill, but still double steel insulated. I can use lump, or any charcoal ( my wife isn't big on smoke and I don't want everthing I make to smell like smoke either-have to use only lump in ceramic Kamados, which still smells like smoke). I can easily move it, and the lid is effortless for even a small person like my wife.. Today's programmable pellet grills, with built in temperature sensors seem to easily do so many things right. But, lets be honest. With extreme ease of use, they aren't very manly to use. I'm an old school, overly manly, man. I want to be involved more with the processes of getting the grill/fire going, getting it up to temp.s, and getting my hands dirty. That's really not going to happen with a pellet grill. You can't go wrong with any one or all of the fine cookers you have. I just need to replace my wife with a woman who is actually fun, and who enjoys eating more things off the grill I make. ;-)

That’s some funny stuff 😁. You can make some great food on any grill as long as you put in the effort to learn your grill. You can actually use Komodo Kamado’s CocoChar and it has no flavor. It’s made from coconut shells and has a completely neutral smoke profile. You could also try their coffeechar. That’s made from coffee wood, is not very Smokey and has a unit flavor. My wife actually enjoys it. Finally if you ever make the jump, Kamado Joe and the Komodo Kamado have spring assisted lids so you can lift them with one finger. I understand that might not be manly enough, but thought I would share 😁. Thanks for watching!
