I'm looking to purchase a smoker, and I like the LSG Texas edition and the 20×42 pellet smoker with the off-road package. Looking for your opinion please. It's a lot of money to spend so want to make sure I get a good quality cooker. Thank you!
Does it really add flavor or just makes the smoke smell better?
Didn't see the retail price anywhere. Is it on their website?
Nice. But where was this 20 years ago? I am done with fire management. But it is good looking indeed!
Moved that so easily you didn't need to put the crocs in 4wd! Impressive. 😇
You should check out BOG LINE BBQs and SMOKERS 👍
I’d like to see you cook a whole brisket. I’m in Oklahoma and we love smoked brisket! Also, how would you smoke deer backstrap and deer tenderloin?
Looks nice but almost 6k for the first generation I’m scared to know how much will be the second. May have to sell a kidney or a kid to afford it
Hi James, just got a new M7M Offset. what length wood splits are you using in your offset smokers? I have 18" splits and my firebox is 28 inches long by 20 inches in diameter. They seem pretty long to me, thinking of cutting them shorter.
Why doesn’t it have that nice gloss all your other smoke north smokers have?
Grilled food is the best 👍👍👍
Let's get multiple racks of ribs on that awesome grill for the next test. How many racks can you fit on it ?
Okay, so, with this new offset (which I’d love to own), and that LSG grill, is there any need for the BGEs anymore? I’m not fortunate enough to have yard space for more than one grill/smoker, so having something that can do everything well is essential.
That said, I do enjoy living vicariously through your cooks, and I’d love to watch you grill/smoke/outdoor cook a goat next time. Not that ridiculous acronym: An actual goat.
Great video! Do you think it’s possible that a manufacturer will ever put oven coils inside the cooking chamber of a smoker? This would be a complete game changer because meet can only absorb so much smoke and you could bring the meat home with the coils after that.
I would LOVE to see a brisket cook comparison between something like this and the Lone Star Grillz adjustable charcoal grill you recently reviewed. Stainless steel vs. that finish, bark quality on the meat, etc. I feel like I could probably guess correctly the right answer, but still, would love to be pleasantly surprised!
Who else thought we were going to watch James roll that thing into the pool when he was pushing it?
Love that these are made in Canada with Canadian steel! I just wish that shipping to the West Coast was a little more affordable.
There is not a better choice than you to give an opinion on a new offset smoker in Canada!
The prices of these things have went through the roof, I'll stick with my green egg.
Is the reverse flow baffle removable ? Easy way to clean under the baffle ? Great lookin pit
Very nice even cook on the chicken, looks like a winner. Are you going to leave the new one uncovered this winter to test the new finish? How does this offset smoke flavor compare to what you are now doing on the Green Egg?
You make your own luck is true and definitely applies here. Thanks for the video of this amazing cooker.
Great review! I vote for brisket!!
Another great video, James! Your wife will have to let you keep the new Echo 2, just tell her the new finish is named after her. It’s “Sarah-Coated” 😅
I am a direct flow guy, but that is a good looking cooker. A lot of attention to detail went into that thing. Be interesting to see how the finish holds up over time
A couple years ago when I was shopping around for an offset. I did call Smoke North. If it wasn't for the added cost of importing that the US puts on the offset. Iwould have went with Smoke North Huron. I bought a Workhorse Offset. I love it. The 3/8 thickness is well worth it. My Workhorse has that thickness. But you got a foldable shelve. Workhorse has a full upper shelf though. But very nice offset. Very comparable. 👍🏾
Nice review on an excellent smoker. Keep those pricey smokers covered or sheltered in a garage during inclement weather. Rust is a smoker killer. I hope you do a podcast on your tailgate bbq today in Orchard Park.
Let’s go Buffalo!!
