Here's a big tip on using these: The first time I used mine, I went to refill it. Ash dropped all over the inside of my pellet smoker and all over the 9 lb pork butt I was smoking!!!🤨 The remedy I use now is I place a large enough piece of heavy duty foil under it that can wrap around the whole tube when burn or cook is done. Before removing tube I wrap foil around it and now no more ash in the smoker or on my Food!😊😉😋

I always put the tube on a shelf below the meat and all the way to one side where grease won’t drip on it. Always works for me

Thats i was about to say.

Fantastic video. Thanks. I've been researching grills and smokers. I started with the Spirit II 310 because of the reviews then talked myself all the way up to the Genesis II SP 335 (mainly because I want to smoke and do general grilling, stainless inside and out with a side burner for sauces). Then I saw the Burnhard Flint which is about half the price of the Genesis. Quarter price of the Traeger. So when you said you tried to talk your buddy into the Traeger my ears pricked up. After this cook, what are your thoughts on the Genesis II as a single all rounder? I mostly cook piri piri chicken, burgers and some steaks but really want to get into ribs and brisket too alongside. Sorry for long question but I'm between a rock and a hard place with this one! Cheers from Portugal :)

Thanks for the comment! I'd say if you're doing general grilling with occasional smoke, the Genesis II is a great grill. If you really want to get into smoking brisket and pulled pork and things that take longer cooking, you're really going to want to get a pellet grill. Some limitations of pellet grills can be getting to a high temperature for searing and quicker cooks, so you'll want to consider that. I hadn't heard of a Burnhard Flint before but I looked it up and it's a nice looking pellet grill. Overall I'm hooked on pellet grills, but it comes down to what meets your needs the most. Good luck with your decision and happy grilling!

@@bbqjones Thanks for the insight, really helpful. I think I will go with the Genesis for now as a bit of an all-rounder. I'll then add to the collection later when my skillset improves and I start to run into limitations that I understand through experience :) Really appreciate you taking time to reply. Happy smoking! :)

Slow down the propane flow a bit when you're lighting it to allow the flame to reach the outlet and sustain a flame, once lit, you can turn up the flow rate for more torch power

Do you follow the tube even for a short smoke session?

putting the tube on the top rack wouldn't let to much smoke escape would it

@bbqjones

I don't think so. I think the lid will catch it and cycle it back around.

I have a 6” A maze ing tube. I works fine until I close the lid. Then it almost goes out. It’s acting like the one burner I have running is consuming all the oxygen? I’m very confused?

@bbqjones

Hmm- that is strange. It may not be getting enough oxygen for some reason?

Pellets are not dry enough. Those pellet bags are not ideal for keeping them dry. Dry a large batch like you would jerky and store them in an airtight container for use.

Positioning the tube right under the thermometer is counter productive, because the tube dissipates a lot of heat and therefore messes with the temps the thermometer is actually showing. Better would be to turn off one flame and put it right there. You will have to sacrifice space, but will have better and consistent results.

I've got the same grill with the side burner and searing burner. However yours has a second igniter that I find confusing. What is the igniter on the left side of the grill used for?

I'd say Royal Oak Tumbleweed or a Weber Lighter Cube. Either of those would do fine.

For smoking on a grill. Buy some Grill Grates put a handful of pellets on the grates. At 400 degrees you'll have all the smoke you need.

Looks great but when you cut a tritip you want to cut against the grain. What you are doing here is cutting with the grain which will make the beef tough. Find the grain and cut against it and it will be much more tender. Same as cutting a brisket.
