    Char-griller custom stainless shelves and handles

    I'm going to retire this sorry old smoker, I built some stainless shelves and handles to replace the factory wood stuff that was rotten. I would like to see these find a home rather than me just taking them to the scrap yard. They will last forever and add some bling to your smoker...

    Char-griller custom stainless shelves and handles.

    Hi guys, please see my ad in the classifieds. I'm going to retire the old char-griller offset I have since I bought a OKJ Highland. I built some stainless shelves and handles to replace the old wood junk that was on it when I bought it used. I would like to see someone be able to get use out...

    Seasoning Oklahoma Joe's Highland Reverse Flow Smoker

    The problem is that fire box isn't painted with high temp paint, it's just set up for failure. The best thing to do is buy some 1,500F high temp paint and a wire brush. Once the factory junk peels off, brush off the loose stuff and shoot the good stuff on there.

    The Kingsford offsets.

    Just checked those out online... I bought my OKJ highland reverse for under $300, I think $500 is a lot of money for a home smoker that's made over seas. I do like the full size door on the Kingsford for the firebox. The upper lid would be welded shut, no need.

    Advice needed on OK joe highland mods

    I just bought one of these as well. The air flow (draft) SUCKS! Take the fire box grate and spin it 90 degrees giving you more room under the fire. I'm coming from a second hand Char griller offset and it flows much better. I have so far did all the mods you list, although I bought draw...

    Total Newbie—80 gallon offset build

    As a fabricator/welder by trade here are some tips for you. Always get some scrap the same thickness your going to weld and use that to set your heat. Stick welding is hard to learn, and out of position welding the hardest. You mentioned a "flat tape would have been nice to have, either a...

    Ribs: A Bit on the Dry Side - Why?

    I cook my ribs, bones down for 2 hours, then meat side down for 1 hour. I then lay out a double layer of extra heavy foil and put down honey and brown sugar and lay the ribs meat side down, then coat the bone side with honey and brown sugar and wrap tight. I spray the ribs with my mop using a...

    Ribs: A Bit on the Dry Side - Why?

    I too would suggest staying away from Smithfield products. I bough some St. Louis ribs from my local super market. Worst ribs I ever made. Baby backs require a lot more finesse than St. Louis which have more fat to render out and baste the meat. You could try spritzing them after 45 mins and...

    Reverse Flow Smoker Plans

    If you have a 4.5" angle grinder, go to a welding supply or even tractor supply and get yourself a wire cup brush. They are used for cleaning rust. Just make sure to wear proper PPE (safety glasses, face shield and dust mask). Wires from those brushes hurt when they come off and go into you...

    120(ish) Gallon RF Build

    Well it surly looks like your a pipe welder. Stick and tig welds look nice. I'm a fabricator as well, mostly food and pharma stuff.
