    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...

    Al pastor pork attempt

    Yes I wish I had a vertical spit. I like the look of yours though. Might have to steal that idea

    Al pastor pork attempt

    I attempted Pork Al pastor for tacos last night. First things first, the marinade. It was delicious and I don't think I'd change it. 1) 3.5 oz package of achiote paste 2 tbsp of guajillo chili powder 1 tbsp garlic powder 1 tbsp oregano 1 tbsp cumin 1 tbsp salt 1 tbsp black pepper 1 cup...

    Fish camp feast

    I can't believe you feed 20 people with one butt and sides. My cousin ate 13 ribs and two pulled pork sandwiches after I pulled this all off the grill. We did get two meals out of it, although I still have leftover pulled pork.

    Fish camp feast

    We had six guys. The ribs are all gone and we ate a little over half the pork. Don't ask about the alcohol. Welcome to Wisconsin

    Fish camp feast

    I didn't but the other guys in the group did. I took one day to smoke all the meat and when I did get the chance I went musky fishing.

    Fish camp feast

    4 racks of baby backs smoked with pecan and hickory on the bronco and two pork butts smoked on the offset with cherry and hickory. With some spicy bacon beans for a side. There were no complaints this weekend.

    From backyard to Business

    I have tried all of the 3 bbq joints in my area. One is a famous Dave's which I think is "meh" quality, the next is a local chain, which is better, but not great. They try to do too much, and their quality suffers in my opinion. The third is a true local mom and pop shop, and they are the best...

    From backyard to Business

    Thank you for your reply. I have not looked into insurance and regulations yet, at this point I am gathering opinions. Everything I have read and heard so far makes it sound like you would have to be an absolute fool to try and start a business. And yes, I realize my family's and friends...

    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...

    Hello from Wisconsin!

    I'm ok with the title of cheese head. You know what you call a Viking with a Superbowl ring? A thief

    Too clean of a fire?

    For a "gimmick cooker" it holds temps incredibly well. We can dial it in to whatever temp we want and it will hold. We just can't get the smoke flavor of our other cookers. I have a feeling as posted above our splits are too small, and burn up and turn to coal before being able to do their job...

    Too clean of a fire?

    Maybe our moisture meter is inaccurate? I will have to borrow my dad's once and maybe compare

    Too clean of a fire?

    We have a moisture meter. Splits were between 15-20%

    Too clean of a fire?

    I can try and get some pictures. By end are you referring to fire box end? And the width of the cook chamber is 13", and the stack is about 3" diameter. If my math is right that's around 22% if the diameter. The smoke stack isn't very tall out of the top of the smoker, but it is a grate level...

    Too clean of a fire?

    For a reference too, our splits were smaller than what I am used to using. They were about 2 inches thick and 6-8 inches long. My friend was really concerned about burning a clean fire and that size split didn't take much to catch. Maybe are logs are just way too small?
