Hey buddy great job! I built my own smoker. No kit. Used 1 inch pipes with 1 inch full port valves with two 1.5 inch vent holes on top. Had to add a 3rd 1 inch intake to get over 300. Mi es happy at 225 to 250. Can shut down to 1 intake and go all day at 150 to 180 for jerky. 2 valves fully open runs 250 for up to 12 hrs! I love it! Thanks for the video!

I built my own UDS and it burned for over 24 hrs and still had 1/4 of the charcoal left!!! Hell yeah Rus I would like to see how you stuff a chicken!! I am sure it will be AWESOME!!!!

Love the beginner series Russ, you're a good teacher. Won't be long until my 12yr daughter out cooks me on outdoors cooking.
I'd love to see you debone and stuff a chicken.
It's always helpful watching someone else his technique

Seafood jambalaya stuff chicken sounds killer Rus let me know when dinner will be ready

[guitarplayer]

Thanks for the tips! I've always had problems maintaining temp and never thought of starting the charcoal on top and letting it move down and out, makes perfect sense.

[abrahammendoza]

Yes sir! And thank you for being so thorough. Some people may say people talk to much, but I’d rather not miss any good details

[TROYCOOKS]

Hell yeah brother, debone and stuff a chicken with some seafood jambalaya!!!! That chicken looked fabulous in this video, but homemade is always better!!! Cheers to ya my brother!!!

[johnwhite]

Eagerly awaiting the tutorial on deboning and stuffing chicken, thanks for what you do.

Someone taught me to close my intakes when I open the lid to cut the temp spikes. I dunno if it works better or worse but seems to work well for me.

Thanks for showing operation. I have an Oklahoma Joes offset and love it. Takes time to heat up. Like to try drum smoker.

My wife bought me one that I had to build and I love it !!

[JM-fcgm]

Hanging ribs in my drum is my new favorite thing. I’ve also found that smoking over the fire directly gives the food so much better flavor, especially if it drips down and hits the coals.

[jaysonescoe]

Well of course. We all want that for a video!!

[User-orudb]

Close your intake brother when you open the lid, you stop the fuel from the fire you’ll be able to maintain the heat spike

[AshKickinBBQ]

Great video Rus! I love my Gateways, I have a few homebuilts as well. One thing I've noticed is if you close up your intakes on the Gateways when you remove the lid, it helps a bit with the spikes. But definitely moving quick in, and out is ideal! Have a great Monday!

[jayhickey]

That is some good looking yardbird brother.

[JBsBBQ]
