    Looking for ideas

    I'll be heading to the butcher this weekend and I am looking for some ideas on what to get to feed 6 people (4 kids). Keep in mind this'll only be my 3rd smoke, so keep it simple (but finger lickin' good)! Thanks in advance! Jon

    Thanks so much to you and SkunkWerX for your help. One last question, what did you use for the deflector plate? I was looking at different mods and I see that there is a pre-made tuning plate you can get from bbqsmokermods.com, but I don't want to pay the $90 bucks they are asking for it. Keep...

    The RTV I bought is good for 500 (up to 600 in spurts and it said it was food safe). I was afraid you were going to say disassemble it! Haha  Thank you for the tips.  -Jon

    I did one cook on it without any mods and it turned out okay other than the temp being off in the cooking chamber from one end to another by about 25 degrees. The thing is I already bought the RTV so I may as well use it!

    I have a question about the RTV for this smoker. Is it ok to put the RTV on after the smoker was assembled or should I disassemble it and put the RTV in and clamp it back together? Thanks ahead of time. Jon

    I call it the 20/20 Charcoal basket...

    Thanks a bunch for this! I have been looking at the charcoal baskets but I am not going to pay $70+ for one and I have no welding experience, so it is good to know I can make something on my own. Appreciate it!

    Hello Everyone!

    Yeah, I have been looking into the different mods and already ordered a Lavalock gasket as well as the hi temp RTV. I just need to put them on. I'd love to get one of those convection plates (if I am not mistaken they are also referred to as heat management plates and baffles), but my wife will...

    Hello Everyone!

    My name is Jon and I'm from the suburbs of Cleveland, Ohio. I just got my first smoker as an early father's day gift from my wife, and I am super excited! I got one of the Oklahoma Joe Highland's from Walmart. I did my first smoke yesterday, and boy it could have been a lot better. I smoked...
