Bullet Smoker Basics

Bullet smokers are a great smoker to get as a beginner or even as a pro! This video runs over some of the basics you need to know, to cook low and slow on your Bullet Smoker!

Using the foil, adding more charcoal around the chimney, and adding a piece of firewood under the smoker was useful information to me. Thank you for the video.

I'm a complete newbie with charcoal smokers (I am usually an electric cold smoker guy). Much appreciated for this video, good explanation and the time duration you noted helps a lot! Everyone else says "when it gets nice and hot, you are good to go" which means I need to check on the smoker every 5 min. Great Video!

this was really gear for a beginner like me, I have never used my smoker and you explained really well

[mrtrillionfold]

Appreciate the charcoal starting tips. Really helpful.

Great intro video. Got a Razzo 18 inch for my birthday 2 weeks ago and did pork ribs for my daughters 9th last week (she loves pork ribs). Had real issues with the heat. Looking forward to trying it out this weekend with a pork roast and following your tips. Also agree about bunnings. Great place. The Razzo was $160 reduced from $329. at that price, can't go wrong

New to the smoking game and just purchased one of these. Big help can't wait for my first cook 🤙

Very nice instructional video for a beginner to learn from

I own my third one, lol. My first one got stolen from my front yard second one I wore it out and third one that I have my neighbor gave it to me brand new when he moved and I love these things they work great!!

nice, I do like to put water in the bottom pan to add moister to the smoker, it does slow the smoker down a bit (you spend a bit of heat boiling the water) but I believe it does benefit the cook. I like how you have covered the water pan in foil, that makes a lot of difference in clean-up.

Good video! I've got a Napoleon Apollo bullet smoker, which looks very similar to yours. Had it for about 3.5 years now and it's fantastic. I've gotten rid of the water pan completely though. Although, I might try your method on my next cook, and see how the results are. Cheers brother!

This is wild you look like an Australian version of a kid I played with growing up, like direct exact copy almost

Thank you. Just got a smoker and had no clue what I was doing

[hazehunter_au]

Great video mate 👍 Do you have a video on how to season a new smoker ? Cheers

[GrTortuga]

Really enjoyed the video. I'm curious - how do you go about implementing wood burning on these bullet smokers? Also, how do you add if you need more (coal/wood) to sustain the burn for a long period, if your initial batch isn't enough? (I ask because it seems like once the stack is on, it's tough to add more the the existing fire). Cheers!

Good video mate i just got a bullet smoker. Thanks for the tips.

[aychmorgan]

Great video, someone gifted me a smoker and I can't wait to use it!

Great use of aluminum so I don't have to use degreaser chemicals to clean.

...'I'm just going to lift this lid oooohn...! ' Lol - it's a heavy beast. Absolutely solid smoker. Just got a 22" Razzo a few days ago & trying to figure out my heat control. Did an ok / edible, small 2kg briskett over 8 hours but this is my first charcoal smoker ( have been using a cheapie electric cabinet smoker for the last few years and have messed about with a smoker box on my old webber kettle). One thing I did not realise is how hungry the thing is for fuel, I need to get that dialled in with the vents. I notice you use heat beads & lumpwood. Which do you top up with during a long cook?

[jack]

Thankyou for this video i have found it very helpful, just received a Matador smoker as a gift & looking forward to using it this weekend.
Any tips for brisket & ribs? 👍

I feel like I could guess that you live in Werribee and bought it at Bunnings.
