Good info here. I don’t have a Bronco, but I’ve cooked on plenty of drum smokers. You are right about keeping the exhaust damper wide open. Folks should thing of it this way; the intake damper is your accelerator, the gas pedal, the exhaust damper is your brakes. You should speed up with the intake, and gradually slow it down. However, if you need to stop quickly use the brake pedal. Try to do most of the control with the intake damper, the gas pedal.

Light one side of your lump coals for longer cook times. I’ve started using briquettes also to help with longer cooks. Good video

Thank you for watching! I also light my charcoal on one side for longer cooks, but when I do cooks shorter than 6 hours, I will light the charcoal in the middle.

Moe, I’m with you on liking the lump also but briquettes are my favorite for long burns on the Bronco. I love lump for the quick cooks like chicken and the flavor is great. Always appreciate your videos!

Thank you for watching and appreciate the support. Lump in my bronco will burn hotter than briquettes. I agree on briquettes for long burns. So far Kingsford and b&b briquettes have given me the long burns. I want to try other brand charcoal briquettes.

@@MoesBlackGoldBBQ Probably a dumb question.. Do you guys just add wood chunks throughout the charcoal basket? I'm used to offset smokers where I can add more over time.. I love the idea of longer cooks without adding, but wasn't 100% sure about how to incorporate wood with the charcoal. Thanks

@MoesBlackGoldBBQ

Thank you for watching! How these drum smokers are made are to add the wood chunks, either buried in the charcoal or place the wood chunks on the charcoal, then light your charcoal. But at any time, you can add wood chunks. These drum smokers are made to slowly burn your charcoal and wood chunks.i always place the wood chunks apart from each other in the basket. The charcoal slowly burns, getting to every wood chunk slowly.

Got one last week. Seasoned it the day before. Then smoked 16 racks of ribs 8 on the first cook and 8 on the second, all the same day. I didn’t use the heat diffuser plate thing because the ribs were long but I did wrap them in foil and hung them back up. Best ribs in a while. Pork butt next then a brisket

I’ve got a Pit Barrel Cooker and get great results from it, but I like how the Bronco lets you easily dial in the temps with the intake and exhaust plates. I saw one at a local hardware store and it’s a SOLID chunk of metal! I want one (even though I don’t need it 😂).

Hey Joe one question do you know if you can replace the gasket around the lid I ordered a new one but don’t know how to install you think you can help me it’s for the bronco

@MoesBlackGoldBBQ

The way to install the gasket is with the clips that come with the gasket. The clips go around the gasket, and they snap into the small inserts that are at the bottom of the lid.
