    Side Burner Air Intake "Butterfly" Modification?

    Good Evening Dave! That's indeed a very interesting concept. My initial thought to accomplish this would be to cut a piece of sheet metal into a triangle with a small tab extending on one of its sides. Then I would drill a hole at the point of the triangle and stack it on the same pivot bolt as...

    Side Burner Air Intake "Butterfly" Modification?

    I am thinking about closing off the upper of the two air intake butterfly openings on my Oklahoma Joe Longhorn Smoker/Grill to improve its airflow pattern and possibly efficiency. Has anyone done this already and can provide me with their insight, or does anyone have any thoughts on this. Here...

    Made a Long Burning Charcoal Basket for my Firebox

    Yup, it was me that suggested adding more coals to get more heat into the indirect heat food chamber side of an Oklahoma Joe Longhorn, for a higher temperature smoke (like poultry). IME with this particular smoker/grill this works for me by adding another half chimney of briquets and/or some...

    Smoker Cleaning Question

    Only thing I really have to clean is the indirect side of my horizontal smoker/grill due to long cooking at low temperatures, and I have a small power washer and just blast it out with water the day after a smoke. I swap out the small drip can for a large plastic bucket to catch the schmooze so...

    Made a Long Burning Charcoal Basket for my Firebox

    WRT the question about temperature gauges, the below picture shows where mine are positioned: Adding a home-made convection/diffuser plate evened out the temperature variation between the left and right side temperature gauges to within around 10 degrees. Also shown in the picture are some...

    Made a Long Burning Charcoal Basket for my Firebox

    I was able to upload the above picture showing the position of the butterfly intake draft openings relative to the charcoal basket. Note that the lower opening is below the charcoal basket. Note also that the charcoal basket rests on the original Oklahoma Joe Longhorn charcoal grate, and is...

    We have a chicken that lays green eggs - her eggs really do have green shells! The breed is called an Araucana - looks like a hen with big sideburns, and a little smaller than our RI Red hens.Have heard great things about BGE...

    Made a Long Burning Charcoal Basket for my Firebox

    Great questions!Yes, the mechanical thermometers do track right with my digital thermometer (double probe model). I generally only use my digital thermometer when I want to continually measure meat internal temperature as well as cooking chamber temperature. Otherwise the mechanical ones are...

    Premium Home-Made Weber Kettle 22.5 Hover Grill

    I ordered another one of these Char-Broil Patio Caddie Cast Iron Grids to make a "Hover Grill" like mine for a friend's Weber 22.5, and the invoice that came with it shows Part Number 4184360, and its current price is 29.99 plus shipping. The original one that I welded up for myself looks...

    Made a Long Burning Charcoal Basket for my Firebox

    The plain basket rocks! It will hold a full chimney of lit briquets PLUS more mesquite chunks, oak sticks, and lump charcoal, and it fits beneath the direct cooking grate when you do use one over the firebox - like I did tonight to grill some split lobsters over my wood fire (be sure to arrange...

    Cast Iron vs. Mild steel for a griddle... Opinions please

    Here's a picture of the Cast Iron "Hover Grill" I made for my Weber 22.5, made from a 15" diameter Char-Broil Patio Caddie Replacement Food Grate (not a griddle but sure works well and adds 44% capacity to my Weber 22.5, plus the Cast Iron makes some awesome sear marks): 3/16" steel rod legs...
