I know that it has been over 5yrs. since you posted this, but just wanted to express my thanks. I lined my OKJ Longhorn, circa 1999 manufacture, with metal almost identical to yours. I put 14gauge stainless on the bottom half of the fb, and 11gauge steel everywhere else. What a difference...

Right there with you. I usually add a little granulated garlic and a touch of smoked paprika, but certainly can't go wrong with cbp and ks. You're not originally from TX are you Jake?

Correction, it is Cimarron Doc'S

I am a little old school on my rubs. Have been using Willingham's "Wham" mild seasoning on my ribs for nearly 20 years and everyone that tries them loves them. Have had good luck with Cimarron Sam's(ribs and chicken) and Killer Hog "The Barbecue Rub" on brisket. Tuffy Stone has an excellent...

Brisket looks perfect! Bet it was delicious! We lived in Norman back in the late 70's while I worked on my doctorate. Love Ok.!

Just be sure to check out end cost of your mods. I really had not used my OKJ Longhorn much because I was never really happy with the uneven temps across the CC and difficulty in keeping enough fire to keep temps up. After installing the baffle plate, door gaskets for fire box and CC door...

Correction, Lone Star Grilz Fire Management "Basket"

You might want to try Lone Star Grilz fire management box. A little pricey but made of heavy metal and is well constructed. Check it out on their website, works as described. It concentrates the coal bed which facilitates lighting add-on sticks. I have an OKJ Longhorn, so I got the 20"...

Thanks Jake. You can never go wrong with Shiner Bock! I will probably use a good old Louisiana beer, Abita Springs Amber.

Jake, I am new to the forum, but am enjoying it quite a bit. My family loves grilled wings from my Old Smokey. I have never smoked them but will do so after looking at your results! Man did you make me hungry!!! Don't know if it matters, but what kind of beer did you use? My daughter...
