What extension did you use? Where you get it at?

Straightforward. Good job

Thanks to your video, installation was a breeze. easiest and essential mod!

So, I’ve owned a Pecos and a Brazos. One thing I noticed was the Lava Lock tuning plate worked insanely well on the Pecos and absolutely flopped on the Brazos. Odd, right? I’m now on my second Pecos due to needing one (sold my Brazos to buy a MB 1050. I know, it was a bad idea.) makes me wish I had added 16” of stack to my Brazos. My current Pecos has an Amazon felt gasket, LavaLock tuning plate, I’m super curious to see how performance will change once I extend the length of the stack. Current temps are quite even cooking but I still want more draw.

Thanks my man this is the best one I have tried so far

I’m about to purchase a Pecos. These vids are so helpful! Appreciate you!

Bro you seem sad

No aji panca? Missing out

I'm actually making a double-stack version right now. I found (made a bunch for a disabled vet friend like a decade ago) that double-stacking and using two triangles with 2x6's at the back makes for a much more stable platform. I also added two cross braces on essentially the same bottom stringer box, 1/3rd of the way across to take out the flex of the bottom box. Built him six of them in a day and he has them till the now. We picked up some 4ft x 12ft tarps at HF and they got bungied down over the side cross braces in the identical location to those you added. If you find a permanent home for it, try a double-stacked version. You wont be disappointed. Not too much harder to load, air flow is still good enough, and those that I built have survived hits from a tractor. (student driver, his granddaughter.)

Coming up on 8 years with my WSM. Still rolling fine. It also has many accessories both weber and third party. It's easy to use and clean. Bang for the buck I'd day Weber.

It's beautiful information. But can you also add an image with the dimensions of the metric system so people from around the globe can do this too? It will increase your views.

Is removing the baffle sufficient enough to make the smoker cook evenly? Or the stack extension is also needed?

Very well made video. Much respect. Great tips. Thank you.

I have a cheap offset smoker myself, and it's hard to get a good temperature unless I use an enormous amount of coal/wood. At LEAST 3 times - probably even much more, than I'd need for my barbecue grill. And it's no wonder, since the surface area of the whole offset smoker is easily 3x the surface area of the bbq grill. My idea is to insulate the offset smoker - the whole thing - to retain the heat. You can actually buy insulating blankets for offset smokers, but they're pretty expensive for what they are. I'm thinkin about using mineral wool (heat resistant to over 1000°C) to insulate the outside of the offset smoker. I'm just not quite sure how to attach it.. and how to make it not completely ugly. 😅😅

So if I have a Pit barrel why cant I turn the pit barrel into a Weber smoker by adding a water pan?

Complimenti gran bel video confronto,qui in Italia gli smoker non sono molto utilizzati ma io sto cercando un bbq per principianti senza starci dietro troppo e ancora ho qualche dubbio tra quale dei due,il Weber è più facile da trovare qui in Italia il pbc è poco conosciuto ma mi piace molto soprattutto la versione junior più indicata per le mie grigliate. Grazie ancora e ciao dall'Italia

Forgive me for not understanding, but isn't cutting out the baffle to make up for adding a stack extension, the same as if you were to just leave the stack and baffle alone? Seems like the stack extension created a need for more airflow so I understand why you cut out the baffle, but if you didn't add the stack extension, would the smoker already be tuned for that out of the factory? Either way, I appreciate the time you took to make this video, I'm still learning ✌️

Happy Mothers day to your wife! Those little helpers are so precious.

Great videos, friend. Keep it up 🤘

I have watched 6 different video on how to make this. This is one is the most accurate and authentic. Too many videos are missing key ingredients like the yellow pepper taste or huacatay

I fucked this up and installed it 1” too far to the left. Now I can’t move it unless I want 4 holes on the grill

Ha... the No Country for Old men reference.. Great Movie.

I cut my baffle like yours & mounted it up against the bottom right rack support, perpendicular to the grate. It cooks perfectly even from one end to the other. So big win... especially when coupled with a stack extension fitted with a butterfly damper. Cooks like much bigger & pricier smokers

It looked perfectly Good

Would fitting a stack extension that has a wider diameter than the stack it's fitting into make any difference, or is it just about the length of the exhaust stack?

My Pecos from the store no mods stack all open and door open has the hot spot on the stack side med in the middle cold on fire side

One thing you have to remember is a lid gasket (to seal the smoke). If you install this with a gasket already installed, plan on replacing the gasket if the old one gets funky. Or it will be out of alignment. If you don’t have a gasket and plan on installing one, do that before mounting the hinge.

Great training class

Really enjoy your videos. Just bought a Pecos and trying the stack extension! Thank you!

Fantastic content 👌 👏 👍

excellent video great intro.

That opening was awesome

LavaLock gang here. I use my old door as a beer cap backboard. This is a great add-on which makes adding fuel a breeze.

Another factor to consider is that the air draw depends on the temperature. You cant have it balanced for both 200 and 400. I use extended stack, drilled-through baffle and a water pan (even empty) and I move the pan depending on my temperature. I end up with short hotspot close to chamber entry (where I dont cook) at high temps and nicely even distribution at lower temps.

Welcome back. Fantastic content as always 👏 👌 ✨️ 👍

Fantastic content 👌 👏 👍

With the Pecos modifications, how often are you needing to add a split? Roughly what size split are you using? Thanks!!

Great video bud. How can I show you some of my cooks from over here in London England... its very rare to find anything to do with American bbq over here so it took me a long time to aquire and perfect. Love to show you some time. Let me know if your interested to see . 👍

Just wondering, do you have any videos on the Oklahoma Joe’s longhorn offset smoker?

Even though it’s not a perfect smoker for $400, you can afford to invest into it and make yourself a beautiful smoker

I’m telling everybody right now. This guy’s got it going on. He has the best channel for offset smoking out there. Period.

My first smoke was ribs too. They were in there for eight hours and after that they were still were not done lol by finishing them in the oven. My neck smoke was ribs again, but I started them in the oven and then finished them in the smoker lol that’s the story of my first smoke. The end.

did you do anything to fix the wobble?

What a great video. Thank you so much for sharing. I am learning a ton.

Had been using pit barrel for some years, their air-flow system needs huge improvement, until now it's a screw that they use to tighten the opening lid; after some years of using it once in a while, thread in screw turned into mush and now lid is loose, I cannot tighten it, and cannot regulate lid, either fully open, or fully closed, need to drill hole to remove screw and try to fix it with home-depot bolts and screws somehow- but issue is that opening will not be as precise as before, would go with Weber.

How does this only have 66k views??? This was perfect in all ways. Dude nailed it on all points, even down to his cadence! You are a pro! Great production

Have you tried a straight vertical baffle that way when the air flows and it goes straight up into the barbecue pit in over the food that should eliminate the hotspot at the very entrance of the grille
