    Propane assist for OK Joe

    I think it will be a huge help. I didn’t have to weld anything, I just drilled through the firebox and tightened the fitting to the mixing tube. Hose hooks up on the outside of the box and the mixing tube feeds the burner inside. The burner I used is pretty rusted out but I didn’t want to buy a...

    Propane assist for OK Joe

    I was thinking of getting a temp controller for my offset but with price being so high I decided to salvage the burner from my old Brinkmann “wsm wannabe” barrel smoker. After breaking the nozzle trying to bend it straight, I was able to piece together another one and was surprised it actually...

    iq110 for highland

    Thanks Geebs, I usually try and keep mine between 240-260 so I’m hoping this will be enough air for that

    iq110 for highland

    looking into getting a temp controller for my ok joe highland to make it easier on long cooks. Don’t want to sink a lot of money into it and I’ve been looking at the IQ110. Is the fan on that one strong enough for my offset? Is there a stronger fan available for the IQ110?

    Super simple (and cheap) charcoal basket for Highland

    Did a practice burn in it last night, I loved being able to dump the coals in without having to chase them with my tongs afterward.

    Super simple (and cheap) charcoal basket for Highland

    I wanted a bigger piece but I don’t have a Home Depot near my town, all Lowe’s had was the 12x24. I thought I’d have to go back and get another piece but it ended up working, a happy accident, haha.

    Super simple (and cheap) charcoal basket for Highland

    I was looking to get a basket for my ok joe Highland but wasn’t wanting to spend over $50 on one. I picked up a 12”x24” piece of expanded steel from Lowe’s for $11 and bent the sides up around the existing charcoal grate. Then I put the grate in the box with the “basket” on top, it fits the...

    Chuckie Burnt Ends

    Finished product, took about 11 hrs of smoking. Tried to maintain between 250 and 275 and was able to do that, with a couple highs and lows. It was definitely worth the wait!

    Chuckie Burnt Ends

    Pulled it off at 170, I wasn’t sure about my probe being accurate and didn’t want to overcook and make it hard to cube up. Ended up wrapping in foil after 8.5 hrs since it wouldn’t get higher than 152, 30 minutes later it hit 170.

    Chuckie Burnt Ends

    Finally fighting through the stall, been on 6.5 hrs and just now hitting 145. Thought about wrapping but the color isn’t there yet, don’t want to sacrifice bark since I don’t have a deadline with this one.

    Chuckie Burnt Ends

    Decided to turn the meat 90degrees since it was getting a little dark on the firebox side, internal temp is 135. I’m gonna take it off and cube it up at 185-190. Question, do I need to let the meat rest before I cube it or can I cut it up right off of the smoker?

    Chuckie Burnt Ends

    Pulled the ABT’s off after about 1.5 hrs, not having the bacon wrapped around them really cuts down on the amount of smoke they’ll take. I had a couple escape from the rack, I’ll use toothpicks to keep the smaller ones in place next time. The dogs didn’t seem to mind cleaning up the leftover...

    Chuckie Burnt Ends

    Tom, I got that rack on amazon for $8 and it came with a corer, it works great. Then I just put the filling in a ziplock and cut the corner off to pipe it in, super simple

    Chuckie Burnt Ends

    Had some extra space on the racks so I threw on some abt’s. Had some chorizo I needed to use so instead of bacon, I cooked that up and mixed with cream cheese. I figure the fat from the sausage will be plenty to flavor the peppers

    Chuckie Burnt Ends

    Gonna try my first burnt ends today, I hear chuck roast is a pretty forgiving cut so I’m using that. Marinated overnight in Worcestershire/beef broth mix with some minced garlic. Rubbed with salt and pepper and put it on my ok joe at 8:45, no time limit on this one so I’ll be able to get some...

    New Guy from South Jersey

    Smart choice in sealing as you assemble, it should take about 1.5-2 hrs. I would get some help to bolt the firebox to the cook chamber, it gets pretty heavy trying to hold it in place. I used rtv on the firebox seams and between firebox and cook chamber, it leaks a little but not a lot. I used...
