    Seasoning an Oklahome Joe

    Thought you might like to see a chart of temps during the Seasoning process. I used 4 probes spaced approx at the 25% sections in the smoke area. Probe 4 is closest to the fire box, probe one is close to the exhaust stack. I thought it was interesting that the middle two probes measured...

    Name under Avatar

    I see under every avatar there is some kind of "ranking". I am, for example, "fire starter". Is there someplace where these "rankings" are defined? Thanks.

    Seasoning an Oklahome Joe

    I will be seasoning my new smoker today. The cooking grates are porcelain coated, so do they need to be seasoned? The lower grates are not coated so I will season them, but curious about the cooking grates. Thanks.

    Exhaust Extensions

    Ok, so my new Oklahoma Joe arrived yesterday. As soon as the weather warms up above 20 degrees I'll season it. In my search for videos on how to season I ran across one or two suggesting exhaust extensions for better air flow. I have a MS in Aeronautical Engineering but have no idea about...

    Freezing Fatty

    There is only my wife and I now, so cooking family portions is pretty much a thing of the past. But we do have the family over on occasion and I was wondering if it would be possible to do two things. First, prepare a fatty, vacuum seal and freeze so available for smoking at next gathering for...

    Temp for Smoking fish

    I have smoked trout for two years every September and everyone seems to like it. At least it doesn't last very long.
