  1. Interesting video for sure. I have a Weber summit grill (after owning an offset for years) and I have to say the smoke flavor is nowhere near the offset but isn’t bad either. I will definitely have to try a smoke tube in it for additional smoke. I will say, in my own experience, I’m surprised how many people like a lighter smoke vs heavier smoke. I’m a little biased because I lived in Texas half my life and was subject to great BBQ all the time (from offsets), but I live in another state now and I think tastes change depending on where you live. Thanks for your time on the video.

  2. I also have both an offset and a pellet smoker. And yes i use pellet tubes on my pellet smoker. The smoke tubes are a game changer for pellet smokers and it doesnt matter which pellet smoker you have. I love using my pellet smoker because it is extremely convenient. Set it and forget it. However i do enjoy my offset smoker. Its the purist in me. I am a bbq snob and i will not apologize for it. . I enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing.

  3. So I applaud you and your testing idea however to rule out the human herd mentality one thing would be, have each person fill out a paper stating which one they liked and only reveal the answer at the end. In other words a silent vote.

  4. Loved your offset vs. pellet grill comparison. It has given me promise for my Weber Searwood XL since I ditched my Green Egg.
    If I could make a quick suggestion from a marketing executive of a Fortune 500 company.
    When doing a blind comparison, have the participants "write down" their selection. Don't show anybody. Verbal choices heard by a group, always, always, always influences their decision to some degree. Psychology nobody wants to be the outsider. Also, use a sticky note showing which is A and B.
    Thanks for doing the work to show us a comparison.

  5. Awesome. I have been doing all my briskets on my traegar. The reason is its easier for me and not everyone enjoys the heavy smoke as i live in South Dakota. Bear mountain pellets are amazing. Smoking pecan pellets are a game changer but too spendy for my budget unless it is for something special. On my reverse flow i use red oak and supplement with a chunk of hickory every hour. I like the flavor but again most are not used to the heavy flavor around here. 200 to smoke and 275 with it hits the stall. Wrap and warm rest for at least 4 hours

  6. Is this a fair test between a pellet grill and an offset if you are using a smoke tube? The fair test would be a pellet grill without the assist of a smoke tube vs an offset smoker. Would the pellet grill win without the smoke tube?

  7. I feel 195 gives more tender flat and prime rib texture and taste overall

    203 gives that melt mouth feel from point but more dryer in flat sometimes

    So out of these 2 temps, I feel there is a difference…the beefiness, mouthfeel,melt,tenderness,too mushy or getting bland. I can be wrong and I’m still learning and dialing down my briskets

    I have 1050 Masterbuilt and 250 gallon offset and get good results from both. I like using my offset because I can fit more briskets …the day they make 1000 gallon pellet smoker would be something wouldn’t it 😅 or you can get a rotisserie style smoker which you can kinda set it and forget it but also still takes wood splits 🤔forgot to mention there very expensive lol anyways…..

    In the end of the day, as long as it tastes good! Thanks for sharing 🫡

  8. South Texas here, I love to start a fire. I love to barbecue I own all kinds of smokers, offset, direct heat, you name it, I bought a searwood xl 600 about three months ago and I’ve already burned 300 pounds worth of pellets. I absolutely love this thing you’re able to achieve good smoke rings,good bark etc,etc. I haven’t used any of my other cookers since I bought this thing😂

  9. Next time, if you do another offset vs pellet grill, you should take one large brisket and cut it in half length wise so you are comparing the same cut of meat rather than 2 different cows that could affect the results.

  10. Thanks Jake. I enjoyed the video and all of you buddies. Where were the female tasters? I would have been interesting to see if they had a different opinion. Also, you said you used oak pellets. Did you use oak for the offset? Thanks again for this video. All the best to you and your family for 2025!!
