    OK Joe gets a Hat

    Even a hat doesn't help when it's winter. Apart from the cold temperatures, the snow makes even walking around a challenge: This picture also shows the relevance of using a cover over your grill when it isn't being used. There is even a Lodge Cast Iron Hibachi Style Grill totally under the...

    Home-Made Weber Kettle Charcoal Basket(s)

    I just welded a complete vertical skirt of expanded metal a few inches tall around the perimeter of the Weber charcoal grate, welded a stainless steel water bowl in the center, and then cut start/stop divider/baffle out of scrap steel sheet metal for between the bowl and the perimeter mesh and...

    How can i get some juice back in Brisket.

    I always keep a spray bottle of 3 parts Apple Juice to 1 part Bourbon in the fridge, and spray the slices when I'm re-heating them. I typically re-heat slices of smoked brisket or smoked turkey in a glass/pyrex microwave dish with matching glass lid, after spraying the pieces and adding a...

    OK Joe gets a Hat

    Good evening Dave! Yes, my OK Joe works very reliably for low and slow smoking in the main food chamber, and quick hot searing/grilling in the firebox (often I do both at the same time). I do cook on it a lot, and do go through a lot of wood and charcoal on this big rig (20 X 40 main food...

    OK Joe gets a Hat

    It keeps raining on my smoking, so I finally picked up a Chimney Cap: It's a standard 3 inch Chimney Cap that I simply "adjusted" with my thumb, and now I can jam it in the top of my Oklahoma Joe Longhorn Exhaust Stack whenever I'm cooking in the rain to keep the rain out. This should work...

    Lump Charcoal - Do you have a favorite?

    Bought some "Wicked Good Lump Charcoal" (from Maine) in a Job Lot Store - because I couldn't pass by the name and it was a HUGE bag for a very low price. It turned out to be really nice stuff - I guess you could even call it Wicked Good! I did grope around the bag, and shake it a bit, to pick my...

    Char-griller Kamado Kooker 16619

    I picked up my 2013 model 96619 Char-Griller Kamado Akorn Grill at BJ's for $280 last month. It has a 19.5" round cast iron cooking grate and triple wall STEEL insulated shell. It came with a very thick ceramic interior smoking baffle for indirect-heat smoking and a nice fitted cover. So it has...

    Made a Simple Firebox Clean-Out Tool

    Easy and Fun to make this sort of stuff Cman, and fix most anything around the house/farm! I never learned how to weld growing up and decided I needed to teach myself. I bought a small 120V MIG welder (wire feed with a gas bottle), and picked up an introductory video and then watched some videos...

    Thermostats for new Oklahoma Joe Longhorn

    Here's a thread with a picture of a handy homemade clean-out tool - especially good for those OK Joes without the ash drawer, but I use it quite a lot with mine that has the ash drawer: http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/t/126222/made-a-simple-firebox-clean-out-tool
