Gravity Feed

I love my stick burners but at the old age of 38 and two small kids I’m thinking of getting a gravity feed to make life easier, we are moving and I may be selling my ASW so I’m looking to add another option. My brisket style is 100% Texas style since the training with Dylan a few years back and I’m concerned with losing that texture with the different airflow. What kind of bark are you guys getting on the gravity? I know I can limit moisture in the chamber, use BP or go nekid to help but with that said are you seeing nice coarse bark? Thanks for the help

Nothing beats a stick burner, but from my past experience using a Stumps and my current Southern Q Limo Jr., I would say they get fairly close texture wise.

The Gravity Feeds do make life way easier. Looks like you have two offsets now, so replacing one with a Gravity probably makes a lot of sense.

I naver had any issues with my Southern Q. The airflow is different than a stick burner, but the food has always been great!

Mine is for sale, BTW, mainly because I haven't been using it and would rather see it put to good use.

Really enjoying my Limo Jr so far. It has a lot of airflow for it's size. No issues with bark or color thus far.

Bark forming shot from this past weekend. These are beef cheeks for Barbacoa at the 2hr mark.

Gravity Fed are a great concept. I have an Assassin 28 and I love it. It doesn't lay on the smoke flavor of my offset, but I'm sure it would if I made it run dirtier. The nice thing about the GF is that I can throw a lot of meat on and go to bed. I just trust it. I might get up once in the middle of the night to make sure nothing is going wrong, but otherwise it has been a great investment. If you don't want to spend much, but want the experience of GF and it's flavor, then maybe try a Masterbuilt GF. Same concept, similar flavor, for a lot less. BUT, you will not own a MB for many years like you would a Stumps or Assassin!

I've been smoking with a Stumps Stretch gravity fed for over two years. I couldn't be happier with the results. I get great bark and moisture on everything. Good luck with your decision.

I got an Old Country gravity fed a couple weeks ago and have cooked one brisket on it so far. (I also took Dylan's class BTW). Here are a few pics if they help.

Thanks gents

Outstanding

Great looking bark there. I got my ASW 250
Immediately after his class, it’s just too big for what I need
