And no, I don't polish after every cook. My cleaning regimen takes > 5 minutes after a cook. Easy peasy if you keep it up :)

Really interesting video.
I made the switch to stick burning from a wsm two years ago. For me I enjoy the work of tending a fire and prefer the food that comes off my stick burner to what I was making on the wsm.
That said I've got friends that have pellet cookers that joke with me about being able to put food on and take off to run errands while their meat cooks.

We are lucky to have so many choices for cookers out there

I couldn’t agree more! The choices in different smokers, grills, meats, techniques, rubs, etc. is why I love this hobby so much. It never gets old

True.

I'd love to get a stick burner, but even a backyard offset is not feasible for my urban living. As crazy as it sounds, I've gone as far as contemplating a summer place in WI or MI so I could have more space for an offset... and lake property.

Not at all surprised by the results. I have used all four and currently own an RF and a Kamado and agree almost completely. Stick burners simply produce better tasting bbq, but require the most work.

The one thing I don’t agree with is most of the differences he talked about between the traditional and RF offset are due to the different size stacks on those two smokers. Switch the stacks and the RF would flow more air and (if run wide open) burn more fuel. An RF and traditional with the same size inlets and stacks will have pretty much identical flow rates and efficiency. The RF may be more even end to end but skilled use of tuning plates could match or even beat an RF in even temps, especially if the guy running the RF is less familiar with it. In other words, pit master skill is a bigger differentiator than the offset pit style.

Also, he left out the WSM and drum smokers which are pretty darn common. I would expect one used with a drip tray/water pan that keeps the fat from burning to marginally beat the Kamado due to more airflow and ability to burn more wood chunks, but one where the fat burns and smokes would be last in flavor.

Don’t agree here. Fat drippings are a either love or hate kind of thing and I believe it would rack up quite a few votes from the ones in the love it category. You’ve got some very successful drum guys in the competition realm for instance. The flavor if controlled seems to be pretty popular. Controlled is the key though

I don't have much experience cooking on off set stick burners. I got a Primo right now (though looking to get a GF or IVC soon).
I like Jeremy's videos a lot and always find them informative.
My biggest gripe with his "scientific" comparison videos is it doesn't take into account the Pitmaster's expertise. He is clearly a good offset stick burner operator, but in the video he even admits that he doesn't have much experience cooking on Kamados or pellets.
There has to be some affect on the end product that he has so much more experience cooking on stick burners. I know i have gotten better with my Primo over the years

That’s a really good point

I’d venture a guess those offsets are a good bit above 4K. I just recall a few people that had both a 640 and a 1500 say the 1500 put out a more offset like product than the 640...maybe it was confirmation bias? I dunno...but the design of the pit with the baffle plate having holes seems to make a lot of sense...when I had my 640 I wondered why they didn’t do that as a lot of the smoke goes up the side and the end....maybe a size thing.
