    Newb Looking @ Offsets

    I am sure you saved $$ for sure. I've been quoted $1 a mile so many of the pit makers are down in Dixie by you and many in Texas. From Texas that's roughly $1400 for shipping almost the cost of the smoker. Unfortunately not many makers up here in NJ. I did find one but their base model was...

    Newb Looking @ Offsets

    Just looked them up, beautiful pits! There are pits that are somewhat affordable but a stretch for me, but what kills it and throws it out of my league completely is the shipping. Right now am going back and forth with the Old Country G2, it's got many features I want but the cooking chamber...

    Newb Looking @ Offsets

    Lot's of firepower in that price range! Franklin, Goldies, MillScale, Workhorse, etc.... I'd love to be able to afford any of them but they are just way out of my league.

    Long Brisket Hold Times

    Thank you! My oven has a keep warm setting which keeps temps around 150ish. Planning on smoking till 7-8ish then holding overnight for a late lunch/early dinner.

    Long Brisket Hold Times

    Great thread and great info, just the advice I was looking for. I see so many folks pull the evening before (6-10PM range) and hold for 12-14hrs, I always wondered are they having brisket for breakfast (which is not a bad thing)? I need to extend that to at least have an early Sunday dinner.

    Bell Fabrication Smokers

    I was looking at Blue Smoke Smokers as well down in Texas, awesome looking smokers, solid price but $1 per mile, was $1400 to ship up here to S.Jersey YIKES!!

    Bell Fabrication Smokers

    Looked at and heard a lot about Bell Fab. Lots good things said about him. The shipping is just a killer for me. Not many pit builders around these parts. I did find one locally on FB Marketplace, makes some nice looking pits for around 1400 - 1600$ I can pick it up so saves on shipping.

    Offset Smoker Upgrade

    Thank you and same here I understand the ease of a pellet smoker and you get great results from what I hear. I just love running a stick, much like I love running my wood stove. Perhaps I am just a pyromaniac and need something to burn in the summer months.

    Offset Smoker Upgrade

    I would definitely look at a used option for sure. Especially someone who gave up on using a stick burner and wanted something easier but had a quality smoker. I've looked on CL and FB for my area but not much there.

    Offset Smoker Upgrade

    Congrats on the Franklin, that was on my list as well, beautiful smoker. Speaking of collector, what exactly does that do? I've seen some units have that, looks cool but never looked into exactly what it does. Thanks again!

    Offset Smoker Upgrade

    Great info and thank you. I have seen a few folks on youtube cut the baffle out to improve air flow. I would not want to buy and have to cut away metal I just paid for, not to mention I am sure it's a little bit of a pita to cut out cleanly. I have a BBQ dealer in my 2-3hr driving range that...

    Offset Smoker Upgrade

    Fantastic info, thank you so much! I just recently learned about the blue smoke smoker, I actually loved the look of it and thought was fantastic deal. Thanks again!

    Offset Smoker Upgrade

    Bought an OK Joe years back, I love it, it's really served me well and still in very good condition. It was my gateway to smoking, I love the lifestyle of a stick burner and the fuel is free for me since I have an abundance of good smoking firewood for my wood stove I've made some excellent BBQ...

    Repainting the firebox area

    My Okie Joe did the same thing, she looks pretty bad right now (only firebox area). BUT I will say partly my fault as I recall I was suppose to do something initially, perhaps it was building a smaller fire to set the paint, but I didn't and well the paint peeled quick. I did pick up some high...

    Taboo?

    Well I don't wrap till after several hours so it's getting some good bark and some really good smoke flavor in that time. I also give it a good hour on tail end for some extra nice bark after the glaze is added. I can tell you 1st hand there is no shortage of smoke flavor wrapping in foil after...

    Taboo?

    Great info! I smoke the shoulder uncovered for about 3hrs with my best wood, then transfer to a pan and cover tightly with foil till about 205, then I remove the foil smother it with my glaze and leave it on the smoker for another 1hr or so adding no more heat and just letting that glaze...

    Taboo?

    Some really great info, thanks everyone!!! I think I will give it a try at least once smoking it 1st then to the oven.

    Taboo?

    I've been having a blast with my Okie Joe smoker since I've bought it 2yrs ago. Been smoking even more being home with the pandemic over the past few months and really honing in on my methods and got things down pretty good for smoking a pork shoulder. Now my mother in law has asked me a few...

    How healthy is your wood pile

    Stacks are looking great!! You need to check Firewood Hoarders Club (FHC) having that much firewood. Am sitting on close to 6 cords but most of that is still wet. I just scored some mulberry and more cherry few weeks back, and my hickory chunks should be ready to rock this spring/summer. I...

    Charcoal & Wood or Just Wood?

    Absolutely I do the same thing sometimes when too much smoke generated!
