Thought I would join and share my story to date as I have been using your forum and ideas/ posts for the last few weeks as I made my decisions as to which Smoker to buy and therefore what mods might/ will be needed.
So my mate got himself a Weber smoky Mountain last summer and has been producing some pretty fine results, but I wanted to get a little deep into it and having read Aaron Franklin's book cover to cover decided that it was going to have to be an offset for me.
Due to a wife that thinks I have too many 'toys', I had various budget constraints and being in the UK not too many choices soI went with the OK Joe Highland. I got it from the Asda (Walmart) website for £280 ($360 ish). So far I have got it assembled and seasoned with a 1st cook planned for this weekend.
I have the engineers at my work sorting me a baffle & tuning plates, and I have sealed the main door and the fire box,just need to fit an extension to the stack to get it down to grill level.
1/2 tonne of seasoned Oak was delivered at the end of last week, so I'm good to go. 1st up will be some ribs.
Does anyone know where I can get some Tru-tel thermometers in the UK?
