Hello all...my name is John.  I am currently stationed in Virginia for a few years and recently picked up a OK Joe Longhorn.  I'm currently in the process of mods and waiting on parts/therms for the grill.  I figure that I'll get everything set up before I start with this smoker...at least I'll be better prepared to make adjustments as necessary.  This smoker is my second and a significant improvement from my previous excuse for a smoker.  As soon as I finish my mods, I'll throw up a pic on my setup and my first burn.

Being a 'Native Texan' I am slightly partial to Brisket...but have been known to burn some ribs and a shoulder or two.  I'm still trying to find a meat market that has better quality meat...not picky, but prefer to give myself the best chance possible of producing a good product.  Looking forward to good food and great advice...

Thanks for the info...I had heard of Central Meats but hadn't had a chance to make it down to their store yet.  I'll have to give them a call to see what's in stock...I want to do a brisket this weekend if all of my parts arrive by Friday.
