For anyone wondering why I chose to use the 1000 gallon pit, it was to show how much more evenly the heat is distributed when adjusting the damper. One a backyard pit with only one gauge, it isn’t as easy to show

I was just watching “ are you making these 100 Brisket mistakes”. I had an idea earlier for myself to start a KZread channel. You did exactly what I thought of in that video. It is to show people how to use each type of cooker and talk about the strength and weaknesses of each while cooking. I will give you until the end of the year to start making videos. I only know how to maintain a in ground pit and a slow N Sear. Never used a vertical smoker or stick burner. I also know temperature inside out and cooker thickness along with space plays a part. You have more toys than me and experience. That’s why I think it would be better if you do it. I’m going to copy this and put it on Jeremy, Guda, harry, baby back maniac channels and see if they make it happen

Yes to any video that shares with us the new stuff your learning. A separate video giving us a detailed tour of your 1k pit would be splendid as well.
Good video - a full fire management video would be awesome - not sure I have ever seen a truly good one from anyone
I guarantee this video is going to be a huge help to a lot of people
I was told years ago......the door is the gas and the damper is the break. Get that door set, adjust the damper for your temps and When adding wood, get it ignited for cleaner smoke then go back to the positions you were at to keep your temps and smoke consistent. That’s been a long time ago and to this day......”every cook is a learnin’ cook”!

100% agree! I'd love to see a new fire management video with everything learned/incorporated! The last one was so good, but if there's new info/tips, that'd be awesome. I just have a little pellet smoker and will never get into something massive like Jeremy, but damn if the videos and science and educational content isn't addicting!
This is a great video! I have been experimenting with the different methods of manipulating the dampers on my offset smoker for a few years. You summed it up in a few minutes. Thank you!
I learned. Everything was explained exceptionally well! Thanks!
Only Jeremy has a 15 minute video on a 2 minute explanation. Keep up the great work, I have learned a ton here.
Yes full fire management would be great! Thanks for the great content Jeremy, I always look forward to seeing you and Brad
Thanks! Great video I have adapted it to my smaller smoker and it works a treat. I have never been able to maintain really steady temps for long periods before, but your tips have taken my fire management to the next level. Keep them coming!
Thanks for the great video. I've seen a lot of videos out there and they talk about how you got to have proper fire management, but they gloss over it and don't really explain to you the workings of it. This was very informative
Best channel for bbq/grilling hands down. Your videos have definitely helped my bbq taste much better!
Thanks for all you do! I recently inherited a very large wood smoker. And you help me make it work great. Thanks again!
As always you did a phenomenal job on covering every detail. I’ve never watched one video you have put out that I haven’t taken something away that has made me a better backyard smoker to deliver a quality product to my family and friends. I’ve watched a couple of your bar management videos and each one that’s giving me more knowledge. I would love for you to put out a very detailed video of what knowledge you have gathered as you have traveled across the country.
I’m a newbie offset guy with an 82 gallon chamber, I can’t wait to try out some of these concepts, I can’t thank Jeremy enough for these videos, this channel and my love of TX bbq has made me put the cover on my Timberline 1300 and pick up the offset, happy bbq!
One of your best video's! Yes please do a full fire management video!
Great video! Please do a video on reverse flow smokers soon.
Keep up with your videos, I have watched your videos for a few years now. Have learned from them and enjoyed them.
Been making bbq for friends on a small 16" horizon offset for the past 2 years. Never knew how to properly use the damper. This is a major help, thanks!!

I just got a 500 gallon smoker. I have done a cook with it, but your videos have really helped me a lot!!
"Gentle air flow" sums up the entire process to fire management.
I’m just learning so I need to knw everything lol. But I like what I’m seeing & hearing from your teachings. Thank you. I’m looking forward to learning more.
Thanks . Got alot of questions answered about the damper and fire box settings.
Yes keep the fire management tips coming. Appreciate all of the videos.
Been applying the same ideas to my slightly modified Old Country Brazos. Works so much better now. Had to really slow down the air flow to keep things from burning so easily.
Thanks Jeremy. Been struggling to maintain low temps (especially for salmon) on my Oklahoma Joe but these tips I think will be very helpful. Always left the damper wide open but will be making adjustments there for sure. Will definitely watch a full fire management video if you put it out. Thanks!
Thanks Jeremy. On a backyard offset, which technique is more effective: 1. keep the stack damper wide open and the firebox door wide open and use the amount of wood to control temperature 2. keep the stack damper wide open and and adjust the firebox door and the amount of wood to control temperature 3. adjust all 3 like in this video
Fantastic video. I just bought an offset and this answered a lot of questions. Would definitely love to see a full fire management video, particularly on the Brazos.
Finally a pit master answered a question I have ask on many other channels that was never answered! Great information!
This is very insightful and I'm going to revise my intake techniques next time I fire up my homemade pit. Thank you!
This was incredible. Thank you and yes please make another video on all things fire management.
Excellent video and thanks for all the informative videos
Really good information, I have a 250 gallon offset smoker and will utilize this technique during my next cook. 💯🔥
Definitely interesting and super educational. A few have told me to close down my damper a bit, but I hadn't experimented yet. This video explains why I have wasted time and need to experiment ASAP. Thanks!
Great video. I’ve recently added an offset to my collection (coming from kamados) and all this stuff is really helpful to learn
This is what I love about bbq (and hate sometimes). Always something new to learn! I have watched COUNTLESS videos saying to always leave the stack damper completely open, but this makes sense when you explain it. Similar to how I watched countless videos saying you only want the clear/blue smoke coming out of the stack but the video you did on smoke color changed my opinion on that as well!
I'm a newbie here to this and this is the most clear and informative presentation that I have seen so far. Excellent work.
I've been waiting for this video for a very long time. Thank you!

This is great information ! I've got a 500-gallon offset firebox smoker, and I've had all the symptoms of too much air rushing past, but never thought to adjust the damper. I've always tried to fix it with the firebox door, and it never completely works. Can't wait to adjust the damper next time I BBQ. Thank you !
Excellent video with awesome tips and tricks for the best fire management. 👌🏻
Love this! Perfect the basics and everything else is 🔥
I really enjoyed this video. Very well explained. Thanks
Agreed, fire management on small BBQ offset would be great! Love your work!
Great video! In my experience, every smoker runs a little different, even within the same brand/builder. Just have to learn your particular pit. I also close my smokestack about 2/3 - 3/4 to get even temps. I use the size of the fire and the firebox door to control temps. It may sound counter intuitive, but if my temp goes up for whatever reason, I open the firebox door more open and the temps come down pretty quick. With a good coal bed and using the firebox door only ( stack closed down somewhat), my Moberg 250 runs within 3 degrees end to end. Keep the videos coming!!
Another great and informative video. Thank you👍
Finally, a video on proper vent usage. If your stack is fully open at all times, you don't know what you're doing.
Wow, this is really informative. Thanks Jeremy!!
I use a Masterbuilt multi-fuel vertical smoker and have been able to use some of your techniques which help me control my fire, temperatures, and smoke better thanks!
Needed this video, thanks for explaining!
OK, finally a great video that explains it, 100%!!!!!! Thanks

Winging it!!! Today I’ve learned from u how to keep that temperature even u r definitely knowledgeable in this arena u have taught me how to fish instead of bringing me fish😁
Awesome video, super helpful! It would be great if you did a full fire management video!
Yes new video for sure!!!!!
Yes to a full fire management video!!!
Absolutely a great video, thank you!
Great video! I have a cheap CharGriller offset with the firebox lid on top, not on the end. I was taught to pay attention to smoke color and adjust for clean light blue smoke coming out the chimney, not gray or black. The fire box has a circular louver on the end. I keep it wide open and the damper on the chimney wide open too for a long slow brisket cook. The flames stay low unless I open the firebox. I added a Tru-Temp thermometer on the end of the smoking chamber furthest from the firebox at meat height. If I pay close attention to my fire I get good temperature regulation unless it is really windy. Great bark, great results, but I still want a better smoker for sure.
would love to see a full fire management video but more on a backyard offset. I understand why you did it on a much larger one as it was much easier to understand 👍🏽
I've seen your other fire management videos, but an updated full fire management video would be awesome. I have thought for a long time that leaving everything wide open all the time is the way to go for the best clean smoke, but watching this makes me wonder if I need to close down the vents a bit. I have an Oklahoma Joe Highland with a stack extension.
Best video Jeremy seriously. Smoking a brisket Saturday
Great video,, a lot of tips. Yes we would like a full fire management video.
I for 1 would like to see more on controlling temp. I’m new to smoking and thoroughly enjoy your videos. I’ve bought myself an old country smoker like the 1 I’ve seen in some of your videos.
I needed this thanks
I also added a taller stack (extra 3') to my smoker and I couldn't believe how much better it works now. Just a simple addition from Home Depot pieces.
Great video! I like that you did it on the largest smoker to show the difference. I would really like to watch a fire management video.
This was awesome thanks

This is a great example of why I subscribed to you. I'll have to close the stack damper somewhat to see what that does on my Lifetyme pit because I've always been told to leave it wide open.
Wow that's a helpful video, thanks!
Wow! I run an Oklahoma Joes Longhorn combo, which gives me a a two foot wide smoke box with the chimney about 6 inches from the right side (far) wall. My temp swings from 200-300 °F. I actually cooked a great brisket following your recent guide. Smoked a 17lb brisket for 8 hrs, wrapped and cooked at 300+ for an hour, then pulled and into an oven at 120-170 (hold at 170, turn off,then back on at 120,repeat). Worked great for my first brisket. Thanks for all of your tips!

Awesome video as always! When you get your Workhorse 1975, how are you running the damper for a brisket cook (beginning, middle of cook before wrap, after wrap)? Thank you!
This confirmed what I've learned on my small back yard offset.
Ive redone my little offset smoker at the house with a bigger exhaust and ive been noticing that i really have to dampee it a lot thought i was going crazy for a while bit this video makes total sense to me now
Love your videos
Really have learned from your videos and using the 1000 gallon is a good example for temperature and airflow. I'd like to see your next video on how this applies to us backyard smokers. For example, a full start-to-finish on a FS-80, Brazos, 1975, OK Joe, etc. size smokers. Also, maybe include your fire management approach to chicken, beef, ribs and pork butt.
Great video Jeremy
