Brand and model of the tiny smoker?
This guy is the best. So humble, helpful, and pleasant.
Arron, if I take a packer brisket season it as you instruct, but I do not trim it at all, and cook it low and slow, what happens? Will you do a trimmed/not trimmed cook comparison?
A little bit of cutting oil goes a long way.
He’s like if Seth McFarland had a mad scientist brother
The flame doesn't burn up the paint on your grill Aaron? I tried it with mines and it peel all the paint off from my offset smoker ?.
I love a chimney starter , wood , newspaper , never any lighter fluid ever again , Thank you God , Amen
No gas no electric just wood & fire…it’s how it ought to be !
A 4" stem isn't good or better?
I have an electric thermometer that I attached to the grill. I brought the temp up to 300°F then calibrated the two lid thermometers to the same temp. So now when I bbq, I know the two gauges are reading what the temperature is where the meat is.
No need to drill a hole and install another thermometer.
I’ve been using an offset smoker like this for years. So versatile and, for me, the only way to bbq, Good vid.
I would love to know what aronson thoughts are in the pellet smoker does he like them or not would he ever use one does he think it's good for ppl that are beginner's
This vid is over 7 years old. Is this guy still wacking off to brisket these days? Like fack brisket brisket every gdm old video i see
No oil?
How do you feel about using a gravity fed smoker vs the stick burner? So many people seem to say they are the same and wonder what you think? Please!
First 43 seconds is why I love this guy. Simple offset smoker with no fancy electronics or built in fans and all that crap. The way it should be!!! I live around a lot of people that own pellet grills and Traegers. To me that’s not BBQ that those produce, no heart or skill goes into it. BBQ isn’t set it and forget it!!! BBQ takes time and trail and error.
smart dude. great speaker.
What brand is tat smoker, need to get one!
I thought he would use a good quality cooker and he working on a cheap thin metal cooker lol
6 min to say drill a hole and set a fire, great … thanks
thank you, just thank you.
What cunt of a brand makes an offset WITHOUT A TEMP GAUGE??…. wankas
Brisket is awful
Hello Franklin, i'm gonna smoke two turkeys for thanks giving. Do you think the offset is ok or should i get an upright ?… Just bought an offset (Original Luling)
You skipped the step of putting a good cooking oil all over the inside before firing it up!
Franklin you da man !
hey Franklin love your videos. Do you use any oils, such as veg,peanut, or canola on the inside before you season smoke with fire,or after the the fire smoke.
Awesome!
Aaron set the he wheels in motion! Made everybody step up their bbq game. Thanks Aaron ???
Teach me your ways.
You should think about getting a Milwaukee drill. Dewalt always goes to crap on me. And there is a reason Dewalt has a lot of repair centers.
Hi Franklin, did you rub the inside and/or outside with oil before burning it out?
Very nice grill.>>>t.co/LFIp6yMX2V Everything I expected
As a lifetime machinist and mechanical engineer the first people I look to for metal working skills are chefs….
He is really good. He doesn't have any secret rubs or sauces and he keeps it simple to understand.

Just for anyone still wondering what specific smoker this is, it is the Old Country Wrangler, which is not in production anymore. Originally Old Country BBQ Pits had the Wrangler, the Pecos, and the Brazos. The Wrangler was a smaller cooker made with 1/4 inch steel, but it has been replaced in all Academy stores by the "Wrangler II" which is the same design but with much thinner steel. The Pecos and Brazos are both the exact same size but the Brazos is the only Old Country Pit made with 1/4 inch steel now. If you check out a Pecos and Brazos in an Academy side by side you can tell the huge weight difference in the two. I have the Brazos, and while the build quality is certainly not in the same league of a Lang, Klose, Lonestargrillz, or Shirley Fabrication, it is a $1000 cooker with 1/4 inch steel and it has a wide diameter smoke stack positioned at grate level. Those two things alone make it a great buy and I have put out some great barbecue on mine. I have loved owning it. There isn't another all-welded 1/4 inch steel offset in that price range that I know of.
Mexican made pit ?? screw that’s the money he makes could have bought American!
You rock man
