“You have to learn the rules before you know how to break em” Wise words from the prophet Chudd

Can't belive this is free! The BBQ comunity is the most wholesome no question. Bradley could you do a Chudbox fire management with wood, coals and both some day? That'd be awesome!

You are the Man....

Please Make a video showing how much wood you usually use smoking different cuts. Keep up your great work.

This is about the best 18 minutes I’ve ever spent on the internet.

Brad, I just got into smoking meat about 6 months ago. Started with an electric smoker, quickly moved to a pellet smoker, and now I’m using a custom built smoker patterned after the Goldee’s offset. I am constantly watching and rewatching your videos so I can learn from your expertise. Your videos have been invaluable tools to me! Last weekend I did 10 briskets on my offset and got rave reviews on my briskets. I used a warning container for the rest and they turned out great! Thank you for all you do for the backyard BBQ community!! 😊

This was the exact pattern (electric to pellet to stick burner) I followed except that progression took me 5 years lol

The best universal advice I think I've ever heard, You have to know how the rules work before you can break them lol

Brad, would like to see an update or expanded more comprehensive video on 120 gallon offset fire management. There seems to be a lot of demand for higher-end offset smokers over just 3 years. Thanks for the solid content - looking forward to more live content on KZread. Cheers!

Hands down the best BBQ channel. Both informative and entertaining, something most other channels lack. Keep it up!

By far the best fire management video on KZread!

A masterclass for free!

Fire management is beer drinking work. Thats my favorite part of the job.

After 15 years of kamado cooking I’m nervously awaiting delivery of my first offset smoker. Thank you for making it seem not too terrifying. We shall see…..! I’m in my 60s so maybe in 20 years I’ll have got it… thanks for the video; informative and light hearted.

I can only speak from my nearly 20 years of grilling, it’s a lot like baseball in that you have to practice and love to do it. Personally I learned far more from my failures than the success. I am self taught but try to learn from others as much as I can.

This shit was gold...between the briquette vs lump discussion and how fast that fire goes from dirty to clean with the leaf blower this is the best smoking video on YT.

Best BBQ channel going ! Thanx Chud ! BOOP !

Man, I was listening to this thinking about where I'm going to be able to find wood and when you said Craigslist I had a look- turns out a guy cut down a pear and a cherry tree and had all the cuts in his driveway for free. Took about 6 bikeloads but I got it done. Thanks so much.

To start a fire I always use a chimney and rip parts off the charcoal bag. It makes a great way to start a fire and then you don’t have to worry about the bag taking up a lot of room in the trash can.🤘

Never knew about the different types of coal ! Thanks 🙏 ❤

I am a self taught smoker from South Africa and still learning Im really struggling with fire management especially during the day My fire always dies down and the longest burn I usually have is 30 to 45 minutes How can I set up my fire box to burn the longest I use lump charcoal and pecan wood and twigs My real struggle is cooking on summer days Any advice for me

Thanks, man. That's solid. Little tips from a seasoned (pun intended) pro always help.

I’ve used a hairdryer instead of a leaf blower, but the leaf blower is a great idea!

its suppose to snow tomorrow was definitly an understatement when this video was released.

The closing the stack half way and opening the door is a game changer on my offset to bring it to 250 deg! Cheers

Hey Chud, use the charcoal bag for fire starter. Tear a piece of the bag off, wad it up, stick it under the chimney, light it on fire and walk away. In 10-15 minutes those coals will be roaring. Thats how I do it. Works great.

YOUR AMAZING 🤩 THANKS 🙏🏻. DONT STOP IVE HAVE SIGNED UP 😊

Been waiting on this video for months! Thanks Bradley!

Yes! Been waiting for this video! Keep up the good work man!

You are the best, my friend. Greetings from Argentina

Thanks for the video, this is the most informative fire management video I have seen yet! Keep it up!

Appreciate your mentioning wood sourcing. As a Pacific northwest logger, and owning my own tree service, I have pretty much unlimited access to wood. When I get the rare complaint about the price I charge for a cord of firewood, my response is, forget the fact that I use about $4000 worth of equipment to cut and haul the wood. Forget about all the maintenance and gas and oil. What your paying for mostly is acquisition. Go ahead, invest all that money in all this equipment. Now, go out and cut a cord of firewood. Where are you going to go? P.S. I sell an honest cord. How? Pretty tough to stack a cord of firewood in exactly 4×4×8 foot rectangle. So I divided that dimension into square inches. 🙂 If your firewood guy isn't doing that, then you're probably getting ripped off.

Good job Chudd lots of great information in this one !

By far the best fire management video I’ve seen!

This is some of the best information I've seen on fire management. Thanks Bradley...BTW I figured you dropped the charcoal starter when you found a snake in your boot 🤣

Thanks again Bradley, I've been watching your videos and I'm a subscriber and man I feel better and learned alot about fire temperature control from your videos .

Another great video. Thank you for all the fantastic content you share 👊

Good stuff man. Watching your videos elevated my bbq from ok to my wife wanting brisket every other weekend.

Wow great video dude!!! This was very informative. You've been really Killing it.

Excellent video as usual. I learned so much about clean burning fires from this and mad scientist. Very good for literally everything you want to light up ;)

Best day of the week

Man, what a great watch! Thanks for all of the detail. Some of us are seasoned BBQ dudes but not on an offset. Always learning!

just bought an offset smoker to try to upgrade my game from open fire burning, controlled braai (sa term), cobb cooking, and drum smokers. really good advice i can see how to apply and looking forward to. have to find the best woods in australia to use but hey, time become a real fire cooker. Cheers mate

Great video!!! I have recently purchased an offset smoker. Learning to cook with real wood has been fun. Videos like yours have been very helpful.

Thanks man ! i really needed this video !

I've heard lots of " fire management videos," yours however is THEE most influential informative and most interesting that I e seen so far, thanks for the tips and keep on trucking.

Thank you! I have been looking for this kind of explanation about tending a fire. Most channels assume you already know this I guess. Keep up the awesome work!!!

Lucky me, I'm in Arizona where it's nice and dry. Seems like there's so many more people in the South that do bbq, I guess because of the heat out here there's less? Love the video!

I like cooking on my offset been experimenting with hot and fast, glad to see people still use them , it is a lot of work !

As a complete newby to offset smoking, this info was GREAT! Thank you, thank you!

Thank you very much I do have learned a lot in this video! Cheers!

Hey Bradley, just got my first second hand reverse flow offset. As a beginner I try to learn as much as possible through KZread about fire management and what not. I've watched over 30 beginner tips, and you are the most interesting and informative presenter. I really appreciated your videos and just became a subscriber. Thank you so much for your sharings through which I learn a lot from, please keep up the great work. Peace out from Ontario New market!

This Guy is The Emeral lagase of the Smoked meats world .

Thanks for covering this!!!!

This is what I needed, very good info!

Great video, you covered all the bases! Very helpful, on the fence about a stick burner. You have great camera presence. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Thanks man! This is wonderful

So intelligent and full of knowledge thank you so much

Excellent video, Bradley! I’m waiting on my first offset from Workhorse Pits & have watched everything I can find on YT on offset smoker fire management. Yours is the best! Very well done! I’ve pretty much watched all your videos in the last week & have learned so much. Thanks for passing on your knowledge! Much appreciated.

What a great video. Many details that'll help anyone interested on good smoking. Keep it up and greetings from Ecuador 🇪🇨.

GREAT video with great info... I have a LSG 24x48 off set pipe smoker... I have a gas assist and it couldn't be easier to start. Just like you, I start with a bed of charcoal and a few well placed logs. Open the vent all the way along with the cook chamber door and crack open the fire box door about 2"- 3" to start. Fire up the gas assist and close the cook chamber doors after a few minutes and before you know it she is up to temp! Turn off gas and maybe kept fire box door cracked open for awhile depending on time of year... but I haven't found a quicker way to get a hot clean burning fire to start cooking than this procedure!

I did some New York steaks with apple Wood, and it gave them an amazing flavor

Chud is my favorite!

Bro this is awesome content . Thank you !

Great video. Lots of good advice. Well done.

Wow This is definitely a Master class on a foundational skill and how to develop it Way to go and thank you Chudsy-Wubsy! 🤗

Thanks so much for this!

Geeat video Brad , helped heaps . Having a pit built down here in Australia.. 🍺🍻

Thanks for sharing these tips 😎

What a great video! This guy is great. Thanks!!

Great content my dude

The way chud stabbed that 2nd bag of charcoal with gritted teeth for not complying had me dead 💀💀💀

Excellent info. Thanks

Awesome information.

I honestly have much more confidence now after seeing this. I have a recently purchased upright, cheap, and my burn-in cook didn't go well. Learned a lot here that I think applies. Thank you!

Hey Bradley - I hope you survived the “Texas Deep Freeze “ with big problems. I have to say that your videos are both very entertaining and informative. With your direct heat method cooking, a tortilla press, and a great avocado salsa, have you consider presenting a beef/chicken fajita cook or a wild game sausage recipe

First offset (Workhorse 1975) sitting on my patio and about to be broken in. Very helpful video, thanks.

Spot on advice with lump vs briquettes. I power dooshed ribbies with kingsford dust early on.

Thanks Chud!!!

Glad I found your channel! 💪💪💪🔥🔥🔥

This was very helpful

Great information, thank you for your videos sir.

I hope you get your power back soon. Thinking of you guys in Texas!

Can never go wrong with tumbleweeds bro!🤙🏽 Your friendly HEB Store!

HAHA you made this days before our snowpocolypse. I live in Hutto.

I knew you were totally legit when you said "We're all cavemen and this is fire", hell, I smashed my beer bottle over my head and grabbed another for the finish! Cheers from R.I.

Awesome video brother 👊😎🔥🔥 help me out alot.

Great video, thank you, mate!
