    Let me know if this method Is something you’ll try out!
  • @SmokinJoesPitBBQ
    Good stuff. I tell people all the time, feed the coal bed, not the fire. 👍
  • @VicBarry
    Ah mate. This is the best vid I’ve watched on fire management. Closing the gap and rotating the logs before replenishing. That’s what I was definitely NOT doing. Thank you
  • @LeviathanPits
    Excellent vid Dave, the tip on butting the splits up together to control the flame is very useful indeed. I think we've come full circle when it comes to fire management - there was a point where everyone was getting hung up on feeding their pits toothpicks every 20 minutes for the cleanest burn possible.
  • Great video and have to agree. Coal bed makes the difference on even temps. Keep it up and be safe.
  • @davidbondy8340
    Probably the most useful fire management video that I've seen. I'm going to try this method on my new Midwest Pit! Thanks!!

    Great video ! I cook often on an offset and have a good understanding of how to handle my fire but felt I did learn many things from watching this. Straight to the point also which I loved. Sending good vibes from florida to the UK

    Outstanding video and informative content! It reinforces that offset fire management is really coal bed management. Well done!
  • @codytutor567
    Terrific information, this is extremely helpful to a guy like me who is looking to get started in offset cooking. Cheers from Oklahoma!

    Welcome back mate, excited for more videos in the new year! Blessings to you and the Family!
  • @monster_bbq
    Great video, Love your work! I absolutely rip through timber on my pit and fight temp spikes all the way. Never thought of closing gaps in the splits and then changing the orientation of the logs as they burn. Cheers from Brisbane AU 👍👍👍

    Good stuff. About time someone really took time to explain it.
  • @mikehedlund9631
    Great job on explaining the process and logic to your fire management. I'm going to try the turning of the used splits to form a "railroad track" to set your new splits on. Also placing the new splits close together to prevent flame "fire up". Thanks for the tips. Happy New Year from Arlington, TX

    This is a great video on managing a fire. Just mived up from a cheap offset with charcoal to a 100 gal backyard model. Been struggling get the coal bed built early in the cook but have noticed towards the end things get easier as the bed is stronger. When you said smaller splits for a backyard offset like my 100 gallon did you mean diameter or length?

    Awesome video, I will definitely be trying this method next time, thank you
