    Charcoal & Wood or Just Wood?

    Yes, I use wood for the remainder of the smoke. If the food is to smokey then you aren't burning a clean fire. You don't want smoke coming out that looks like a diesel truck going up a hill. You want clean, blue smoke as they call it coming from your stack. Few factors play a role into achieving...

    Father's Day Smoke (2nd Pork Shoulder)

    My pleasure George, yeah the pan makes things really easier and it keeps in all the juicy goodness. I was shocked at how much juice it actually produces. I only put in a 3/4 to a cup of apple juice so all that liquid came from the shoulder, boy it's tasty.

    Question on smoke.

    Like many have already stated, always use seasoned wood, green wood will smoke and smolder more. I also try to preheat my wood chunks by sitting on top of the FB. When you add a new piece of wood, it will usually initially kick off some white smoke but is short lived if you have the proper coals...

    All wood smoke question

    I agree with the above! I have an Okie Joe similar smoker to yours and I start out with lump charcoal for a base and from there feed it chucks and sticks of wood that I process myself.

    Father's Day Smoke (2nd Pork Shoulder)

    So last week I smoked my 1st pork shoulder, however in that thread there were some changes I wanted to make. So yesterday for father's day I was at it again with a pork shoulder just shy of 7lbs on the smoker again at 6:30AM. This time I corrected the few things I wanted to change on my 1st...

    1st Pork Shoulder Success!

    Couldn't agree more and that is why I just LOVE smoking with the offset. It's the whole experience that it creates and I love. Exactly as you say I am usually out back doing some yard work, messing around with the house, kids out back playing, etc...later on take a shower head out back again and...

    1st Pork Shoulder Success!

    Thanks Al!! I like the bark as well but I like how the foil does speed things up. I LOVE smoking I can sit out there all day doing it but sometimes life calls and I just don't have 10+ hours to babysit it! Trust me I'd love nothing better than to do just that. Not sure I'll ever get to trying a...

    How healthy is your wood pile

    I've got about 2 cords of seasoned oak and close to another unseasoned drying out. Most of the oak is white, chestnut, and little bit of red oak. I burn it in the winter a little as well!

    Where to buy bulk wood ??

    Oak is great to smoke with! Try craigslist, setup a search for the woods your looking for! I just scored a 55 gallon drum full of chunked up hickory on craigslist in my area, although still a little green but will dry quick. Plenty of maple and cherry for sale around here too but still looking...

Yesterday I smoked a two pack I got from Sams club using the same recipe, however this time I totally forgot they mayo, but man ole man...

    1st Pork Shoulder Success!

    After buying my Okie Joe smoker few week back I promised Mom I'd smoke her a pork shoulder. She's a huge bbq fan and just loves smoked foods. Overall it came out excellent! It was tender, bursting with flavor, and extremely juicy. I didn't get to see her shred (I was rushing to a prior...

    1st Smoke w/ Okie Joe (Lengthy Post)

    George I totally missed that step on seasoning it and letting it cook for a few hours, eeks!! I seasoned it about 2-3 days prior to my smoke. I will def try that corn cob holder trick on the skin, thanks so much for the tip and thanks for the reply much appreciated.

    OK Highland

    Saw that plate on BBQ Mods, but until this fails me or really gives me trouble with keeping consistent temps gonna stick with the cheap fix for now!

    Charcoal & Wood or Just Wood?

    Thanks for the info will def give it a try. Just did my 1st smoke this past weekend and it's def something to get the hang of keeping the temp in a certain zone. But I was surprised how fairly simple it was to regulate the temp, if it got to hot I just closed the door more in the FB and closed...
