I Tried the SNAKE METHOD on My Lone Star Grillz Pellet Smoker… and It Went WILD 🔥 (Experiment #3)

🔥 Experiment #3 is HERE! The Snake Method on the Lone Star Grillz 42” Pellet Smoker! Hey hey bonjour ça-va — it’s your friendly neighborhood Lost Canuck, back again with another completely unnecessary but absolutely awesome BBQ experiment. 😆 This is Part 3 in my wood-split experiment series on the Lone Star Grillz 42" pellet smoker. ➡️ Part 1: Success ➡️ Part 2: Fail (La Plancha method didn’t ignite) ➡️ Part 3: The Snake Method… WILL IT WORK? 🤯 Today we load the charcoal basket with: 👉 split → char log → split → char log → etc. …then we slap on the diffuser plate, cook some beautiful Compart Duroc ribs, AND run a head-to-head comparison with my Blaz’n Grill Works Grand Slam pellet smoker. Same pellets. Same ribs. Only difference? 🔥 One gets the snake method of wood splits 🔥 One stays a normal pellet smoker control sample And brother… this experiment got SPICY. 😳 Let’s just say: flames. Heat spikes. Out-of-control smoke. And some seriously smoky ribs. Stick around to the end — the taste test might surprise you! 🧪 WHAT YOU’LL SEE IN THIS VIDEO • Full breakdown of the Snake Method setup • Wood split + char log stacking pattern • Lone Star Grillz performance at 225, 250, 300°F • Ribs prep with W Sauce + Ope We’re Smokin' rub • Side-by-side cook vs Grand Slam pellet smoker • REAL RESULTS (not just YouTube fluff) • Post-cook inspection of the charcoal basket • Final thoughts + Experiment #4 preview 🔔 WHAT’S NEXT (Experiment #4 Teaser): I ordered the new Huber Products Split Basket (El Fuego Trio style).
