First Offset Smoker (woohoo)!
Posted: Fri Jul 06, 2018 6:13 pm
Until this 4th-of-July week, I have used a 22” WSM for all of my backyard meat smokin’ and it works great. I have done enough with it over the years that I was ready for a new challenge. So I bought my first offset smoker...
I did not want to spend $1,500+ for a smoker so I chose the Old Country Bravos smoker (purchased at Academy) for eight at $1,000. Man I love this thing! Cooking with flaming wood is a wholly different thing compared to the minion method WSM that I have been accustomed to. It takes a close watch, not a set-it-and-forget-it like my WSM.
I cooked 2 briskets for my first attempt with the new pit and they turned out great. I have them wrapped in a cooler but thought I would post a pic of the first few slices off the flat. Mmmm yummy. It’s nice getting a smoke ring from smoke instead of TQ, celery seed or whathaveyou.
Can’t wait to fire this thing up for a second time maybe next weekend. I’m thinking pork shoulders and beef ribs. Did I mention I really like this new pit (very good value in my opinion).
