    Charcoal basket in an offset

    I've used a propane burner for years that I took off a turkey fryer. Works great. Used after the meat is wrapped.

    Charcoal basket in an offset

    That's entirely possible :) but experimenting is always fun for me. I have a propane assist that I've used successfully for years. That's for after the wrap though. Thanks. I've seen that one. Informative. I saw about the same results.

    Oklahoma Joes Longhorn smoker

    Yes it will. It can also be used to heat up your next split or chunk of smoking wood so it ignites quicker. Pre-heating the wood reduces the 'dirty' smoke a lot.

    Salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder is the best rub...Change my mind

    I like salt on a good steak. Salt and pepper on smoked brisket. Salt, pepper and onion on chicken. Salt, pepper, onion, and garlic on pork loins and ribs. But for pork butts... Salt, pepper, onion, garlic and paprika is the winner at my house. Or you can use Lawry's for everything :)

    Another @inkbird failure.

    I've been lucky. No issues with any Inkbird products. I have 4 or 5 different items. No issues with my Thermoworks products either.

    Was my turn I guess

    Looks great!

    Charcoal basket in an offset

    'Installed' them today. Two briquets fit side by side in each section. I will probably start with a 2x1 stack (like a Weber snake) and see where the temp runs. I can add an extra briquet on top (2x2) if it isn't getting hot enough. The baffle plates are tall, I could stack quite a few briquets...

    Finally! Soft rye bread for sandwiches.

    The biggest difference that I have seen in rye softness revolved around using a small sourdough starter, potato puree and looooooonnnng ferments. 48 hrs minimum. I grew up with a lot of Czech bakers in my family. Here's a shot of one of my loaves. I love Reubens!

    This one will make three for me as well. Double redundancy!

    Charcoal basket in an offset

    Understood. I've been using an offset for more than 25 yrs. Just experimenting here.

    Charcoal basket in an offset

    First test... 3/4 full basket of Royal Oak lump. Lit a few coals on the intake side. Opened damper a little. Temp jumped to 300 and the fire spread through the entire basket fairly quick. The only way to manage the temp down was adjusting the exhaust vent. Not ideal. My smoker is not very well...

    Charcoal basket in an offset

    Thanks. That's my current method. Mine runs well with the door left open about an inch. I'm hoping to get stable temps without feeding it as often.

    Charcoal basket in an offset

    Just picked up my basket. 16” long will allow me to also use my splits. Plan to give it a test run this weekend.

    Brisket chili

    Looks good! Dropping into the 30s here tonight. Need to start thinking about chili. I do have a couple of vac-seal bags of brisket in the deep freeze.

    Tasting the sauce

    My homemade sauce also tastes better as a side. Not sure what's different.

    What am i doing wrong with seasoning this pan?!?

    Don't worry right now about making it smooth. Season it. Cook on it. Scrape it with a metal spatula each time you use it. Use it a lot. It will eventually smooth out. Non-stick in a cast iron (or stainless) skillet is all about temp control and proper use of cooking fats/oils. It is not about...

    Need some new ideas for the next pork butt

    Lose the fennel, cumin and coriander. Add black pepper, powdered mustard and smoked salt. A little cayenne doesn't hurt but be careful not to overpower it. I also use a little crushed, dehydrated jalapeno. I cook a LOT of pork butts and have never brined one. The Swift and Smithfield butts that...

    Crawfish Pie

    Yes, I'll admit to singing that song when I'm making any of those three. My wife cringes. She wishes that Hank Williams and Marty Robbins songs would be taken off the air permanently!
