    Made a Long Burning Charcoal Basket for my Firebox

    If you use your Firebox Cooking Grate a lot like I do you will appreciate this little tip, which makes it easier to take the Cooking Grate in and out when you have heat in your Firebox.  I use an oven mitt or grate lifter, whichever is handy. The picture below is the stock Cooking Grate which...

    Made a Long Burning Charcoal Basket for my Firebox

    Underneath my Charcoal Basket I use the standard Charcoal Grate that comes with the OK Joe. Note how it is aligned/shifted to the right next to the air intake:

    Made a Long Burning Charcoal Basket for my Firebox

    I am happy with the 1 foot square by 1/2 foot deep charcoal basket. This is because I use my firebox for direct grilling/searing food with its 20 inch by 20 inch cooking grate as well as a firebox for smoked food in the main indirect 20 inch by 40 inch food chamber. My basket holds an ample 1/2...

    Thermostats for new Oklahoma Joe Longhorn

    I would be happy to make you an identical upper air intake damper "valve" for a small fee to cover my material and shipping costs - if that's what you're asking for. I would just remove mine and use it as a template to make yours. PM me...

    Seeking Advice - Horizon 16" Classic v. Big Green Egg

    These are great points! I have a larger offset firebox smoker/grill - 20" X 40" Indirect Heat Cooking Chamber PLUS 20" X 20" Fire Box and Direct Searing/Grilling Chamber. I can grill steaks/pork-chops/corn-on-the-cob/asparagus in under 10 minutes on the cooking grate in my Fire Box on the same...

    Reheating a smoked brisket?

    I have had good luck reheating pre-sliced brisket in the microwave by laying a few slices at a time into tight fitting pyrex microwave-ware, and spraying the slices with an apple juice and bourbon spray. This keeps it very moist and flavorful.

    Ok, need some opinions on patio size reverse flow.

    Good Luck with this experimentation! I think it's very interesting that you're thinking of trying to fill a clear market void with a quality compact patio size reverse-flow sideburner. I also think all of your points in doing so are valid, and there are definitely times when ALSO owning a...

    Side Burner Air Intake "Butterfly" Modification?

    Funny you should say that Dave! I saw the potential solution when I was indeed sitting nearby at the patio dining table. I waited/procrastinated until I had some time to disassemble the butterfly and take a file to it. That time magically appeared when I recently wanted to adjust the butterfly's...

    Made a Long Burning Charcoal Basket for my Firebox

    I have found that my charcoal basket works best when shifted over closer to the Butterfly Air Intakes: My basket is 1 foot square and 1/2 foot deep, so that it will clear the cooking grate for searing grilling:
