    What is OK Joe's thinking?!?

    I was looking at grills on Marketplace and one popped up, an OK Joe highland for $400 that claims used twice. I thought this guy was nuts because brand new they are $350. Well, that was last year. Apparently the highland is now $450 and for kicks I looked at my Bronco, and that is now $450 as...

    From backyard to Business

    Me and a friend have been thinking about trying to make the jump from backyard to a small catering company. I know this is a topic that has been beaten to death and that the only way to make a small fortune in the food industry is to start with a large fortune. But there are people out there...

    Too clean of a fire?

    I have a feeling I will get some mixed answers with this one, but here goes. I recently went with a friend to help him pick up a smoker that was custom built. The price was right, the build quality is good, and it was the size he needed for his small patio. We did a test run on it and we were...

    First smoke on the bronco. Recommendations on charcoal?

    Did up an 8.5 lb pork butt on the bronco today. Kingsford original charcoal and chunks of pecan. I got 9 hours on a full basket. The flavor was definitely different than my offset, and I could definitely tell it was cooked with Kingsford charcoal. It has that distinct flavor. While it isn't...

    Oklahoma Joe Bronco sealant

    Hello all! I placed an order for a Oklahoma Joe Bronco today! It was on sale for a little over $250. I noticed some people complain the joint where the two buckets meet sometimes leaks. I have been considering using some red RTV silicone sealant made for fireplaces when assembling to seal the...

    Used 2016 Yoder Cheyenne

    I am planning on going with a good friend on Saturday to pick up a used Yoder Cheyenne built about 2016. He was doing some research on the internet before we go and said this unit was made with 3/16" steel and had drafting problems. Anyone have one of these and have any advice? I feel it's a...

    Pork butts for coworkers

    Some coworkers sampled my pulled pork at work last week and asked if I would make them some. I'm happy with how these turned out. Rubbed with meat church honey hog and smoked with cherry and hickory splits.

    Always check your grease drains

    So I had the day off last Friday and decided to smoke 2 butts and a couple racks of ribs. Things were going great. At about the 6 hour mark I went out side and there was thick white smoke coming out of the exhaust stack. I figured I had an air flow blockage in the fire box, but when I opened it...

    Tips for feeding a medium size gathering

    Hello all, last year I had a smallish, maybe 15 people, BBQ out at my parents land. I had smoked 2 pork shoulders and 2 racks of ribs, and my mom prepared a bunch of sides. Corn bread, beans, etc. We are planning on doing a little larger gathering this year, maybe 30-40 people. Simple math...

    No wrap ribs. An experiment

    This weekend experimented with some ribs. In the past, I was a believer in the foil wrapped with brown sugar and honey. Yesterday, out of sheer laziness of not going to the store to buy more foil, i decided to give unwrapped a try again. For the record, I have tried unwrapped in the past but...
