My First Time Using an Offset Smoker

Today I get my feet wet with fire management as I fire up and use my new Old Country G2 for the first time.
Wow. I'm hooked.
This pit is hands down so easy to use so as a beginner when it comes to using an offset, I nailed my first cook.
Can't wait to fire it up again, and again, and again, and again.
Let me know what I should BBQ next.

    Old country Gen 2 is a great backyard offset. I have about 10 cooks on it and it is easy to use and does not take much fuel to keep it running.

    Enjoyed your video. I bought this offset smoker just a few days ago seasoned it, but because of weather and time constraints, I have yet to cook on it you make it look pretty good I like the way the woodburning when I was seasoning it I removed the tuning plate and the baffle with the first burn temperature stay for even

    Nice video! I started my smoking journey with a Oklahoma Joe's Rider DLX it was a very good smoker for a while. I started getting error codes with this and did not want to wait for parts to get it fixed. I saw your video on the PIT BOSS Brunswick and that convinced me to go get that smoker. I have used that smoker a lot with great results. As a matter of fact I am putting on a brisket that has been in brine for 8 days for pastrami this evening on the Brunswick. I have been wanting to jump in the deep end of the smoker pool an get an offset smoker. The Workhourse 1957 is what I was considering but the price has really jumped and I was thinking about the OC G2. For the second time I think I will follow your suggestion.

    Try running the smoker without the rack in the fire box you may find it helps hold heat more

    So I’ve seen pellet videos since this one where you’re sold on offsets, so I am debating going away from my offset to a pellet, what are your thoughts comparing offset and a pellet grill?

    Chicken thighs on the offset are delicious. I run a light layer of AP seasoning. Then a heavy coat of voodoo. Cooked skin side down 225 for a hour then 325 to finish the skin off. And only bbq sauce on the meat side. Hey grill hey whiskey peach. Give it a try sometime pretty damn good. Nice job on the ribs too looked delicious

    Would you recommend a pellet grill as a smoker or is an offset smoker better for smoke? I have a gas grill, so i don't care for a multipurpose device. Im thinking i want a smoker and figured since I'm new should I stick with pellet, but I enjoy a learning curve and if an offset is superior, I wouldnt mind learning

    This is great. I’m going to enjoy all this content. Will help me decide if I’m gonna get a g2 or not. Curious if u were tempted to go “bigger” for your first smoker and get a Lone Star or a Workhorse? Why the g2?

    Of course I’m always tempted to go bigger but right now the idea of throwing $3-5k on an offset (not even knowing how to use one) seemed kinda crazy. I’m more than happy I went with the G2. How the have the firebox setup will be an absolute must if I get something bigger down the line. In the meantime, I look forward to all the bbq I’m going to enjoy on the G2.
