    Welcome from Michigan. Never heard of the smoker you’re getting, so did a quick search. Looks like a solid unit, and it’s on sale right now, good timing!

    Newbie: Hello from the Cincinnati Area, Looking at Pitts and Spitts

    Welcome to the forum from Michigan. I too had temp control issues with my LP Masterbuilt. I chalked it up to user error until I did some search and bought an OKJ Highland offset to see if I liked that method before dropping the $$$ on a better quality rig. So far I am very happy with OKJ and...

    Thanks everyone, for the encouragement! It’s certainly an honor making the carousel and I appreciate it!

    Tri Tip Very First Attempt

    My very first time trying Tri Tip. It will not be my last. Perfect amount of smoke, med to med-rare. Juicy and can cut with a fork tender.

    How many smokers & grills do you own?

    3 - OKJ Highland, Lodge Sportsman Grill and a Char-Broil Big Easy Oilless Fryer. I just purchased the Char-Broil grill top for the Oilless fryer. It’s actually designed for the Char-Broil Big Easy 3 in 1 but works on my unit to convert the fryer to a gas grill if needed.

    Winter Weather In Michigan

    Update. I decided to go with the unit I posted photo of earlier. 10’ x 10’. Assembled last Wednesday. On Friday the 21st we had steady 15-20 MPH winds with gusts to 30....all day long. To my satisfaction the portable shed held fine. The tie downs did their job and everything came through...

    Grilla vs Zgrills

    My brother in law bought a ZGrill back in early August. So far he likes it a lot. He does have an older vertical charcoal smoker that he’s used for many years. His opinion is the Masterbuilt adds more smoke, but not enough to trump the “set it and forget it”’ feature of the Z Grill. Plus...

    Time to go shopping for beef

    :D Agree on shopping smart. I’m going to head to Costco today and by a hunk of Prime ribeye, about 12 lbs of it and cut it up and vac seal. Heard it was on sale so will head over. May or may not pick up a brisket ....I just get spoiled when getting directly from the farmer, making a phone...

    Time to go shopping for beef

    This topic reminds me that for the first time in about 10 years I have to go retail for my beef. I had a local guy process 1/4-1/2 a cow for me every year. Sadly he is no longer in business and trying 2 other local guys their meat was frankly not good. Kinda like finding a good mechanic...

    Question on Stand Mixers

    Majority of what I use mine for is bread. I mix up enough for 2-4 loaves at a time. Running as long as needed to incorporate the ingredients, typically 8-10 minutes on medium setting. I haven’t experienced any issues.

    Question on Stand Mixers

    I have the KA Professional HD 10 speed 475 Watts, bowl lift. Probably have had for 6-7 years now. The thing is a beast and will likely outlast me.

    Why Write Stuff Down

    Exactly how I learned from my grandmother too. She made the best egg salad, but never wrote down anything either and almost 10 years later I still haven’t been able to replicate hers even though I know all the ingredients she used. I have been told I make the best sloppy joes, and folks ask...

    Why Write Stuff Down

    Well I made a very rookie mistake. My last smoke I make spare ribs and pork loin. Everything turned out great, family really enjoyed it. I also decided to try my hand at making my own rub. On one pork loin I used my store bought “Butt Rub” which is good. On the other loin I made up a simple...

    Hello from Ohio

    Welcome from “the state up north” Because you are a fellow smoking brethren I’ll forgo our rivalry. :D I had a propane Masterbuilt similar to yours for many years and turned out many good meals. I found that maintaining a temp can be a challenge in colder weather, much more so than my offset...

    Brisket fail and questions

    Did you probe it? I’ve had them hit temp I was looking for but when probing could feel it wasn’t there yet. (When I say probe, I mean for tenderness not temp)
