    Labor Day 2021 Throwdown

    OK, that looks like it will be cool. I already have my pork planned so we will see how I stack up. Everyone is a winner when you get to eat bbq though :) G

    Am I over crowded

    The second picture looks good to me. It appears that you have room for smoke flow that way. Looks like someone is eating good today! G

    New - Oklahoma Joe's Highland Smoker

    I like those steel cooking grates. Where did you pick those up from? I could be interested in those. G

    Time for some chuck roast!

    That roast looks absolutely delicious. All of these awesome cooks lately have me salivating. I'm going to need to get something on my smoker ASAP!!! Pesky work is always getting in the way. G

    Broke the Yoder in

    Beautiful brisket and I just love the puppy stares. I am certain that they both assisted with quality control. Seems to have been worth the trip to get those. Keep those cooks coming. G

    Gary is Gone

    They are eating good in Heaven tonight for certain. God Bless you sir. I hope that his family will find peace from the end of his suffering. He will be missed here. G

    How much is too much? How many pork butts can one smoke at one time?

    Forget about my advice. Listen to what Bear says. He is the ultimate expert on the MES 30 here on the forums. My condolences on the lack of capability from your smoker. I am sure it does an awesome job with one butt though :emoji_grin: G

    How much is too much? How many pork butts can one smoke at one time?

    I think you missed the details from my earlier response. For me, i am using an offset not an MES. My thought is that heat is heat. Once his MES overcomes the cold of all that meat then it will just cook at a normal rate. Maybe one tip would be to allow the pork butts to get a bit closer to room...

    You can always pop over to a Walmart or Target and get a cast iron griddle to set on top of your grates for the 560. It would be a solution and I can't imagine you having any trouble finding one in So Cal. I'm in So Cal and there is a Walmart in just about every direction that I can reach in 5...

    How much is too much? How many pork butts can one smoke at one time?

    I did not have any extreme long cook time when I did those three butts at once. Maybe an hour or so longer than usual. Every piece of meat is different though. It could be totally different the next go around. The oven is a great solution after wrapping. It's not like your meat is going to get...

    How much is too much? How many pork butts can one smoke at one time?

    Same process as one. You will have a slight increase in time from the initial heat sink effect from the large mass of cold meat but I doubt it will make that much difference at all. I've only done three butts on my offset once and I had room for at least five or six more without getting too...

    OKJ Highland Baby Back Racks Amount?

    If you have a method of moving your smokers to your work site for the cook that isn't going to cause you too much trouble then I would say go for that and then you can be certain to have better results. In my case, I have no way to transport my smoker to work with no truck. Being 200lbs also...

    OKJ Highland Baby Back Racks Amount?

    I've never used a vertical rack in my OKJ. I have cooked 3 racks at a time just on the grill grates with total success. I imagine you could get 5 or 6 racks on there if you are willing to stack them to the firebox. It does get much hotter there and some rotation would most definitely be...

    Tri Tip Feast

    I totally agree. That's an insane price. We as consumers need to simply take a stand and just not buy meat at these prices. If the markets have to throw them out or deeply discount them on the last day they can sell them then they will get the message. They can sell it, but at something...
