    Hoping next cook goes smoother

    So last week I did my first cook using a new Oklahoma Joe Bronco 2.0. Did Dino and short ribs flying blind with not a clue and trusting on board temp gauge. Just picked this TW “Smoke” any others have feedback or tips on this model? 1 air temp probe and 1 meat probe. Probably doing a brisket I...

    Rough start, but on my way to my first cook

    They actually were very moist and tender. I really could not verify grate temp other than probe on instant read. Obviously not accurate. But is for IT. Also wrapped in towel in cooler. Total cook time was 5.5 hours. I’m not a fan of very heavy smoke and happy they weren’t that. They honestly...

    Rough start, but on my way to my first cook

    Finished! Well end product cookwise I feel they were really good. Super tender and moist. Rub was delicious but tad spicy. As far as meat quality they were crap. Way too fatty. Not a lot of end meat amount. Good day and definitely feel better going into next cook. Thank you to all who offered...

    Rough start, but on my way to my first cook

    Well fingers crossed. I thought I read temp not always enough. Cook to tender. Hopefully not overcooked. Not too big of loss. They have been in freezer a while from last cow purchase. Definitely feel good about what Ive learned today. I have 2 brisket flats for next time. Love to do a turkey...

    Rough start, but on my way to my first cook

    I wrapped them with nice crust at 203 degrees. In paper. Let go for another 1.5 hours at 275. Wrapped in towel and cooler. I probed and seemed very buttery

    Struggling could use some help with first cook

    Thank you so much for jumping in and helping out. I remove some Coles still sitting around 275 but much better. I made the mistake of having the idea in my head when I seasoned it to crank it wide open for two hours and I did that and got it up to 550 obviously big mistake. This is definitely a...

    Struggling could use some help with first cook

    Could use some help guys struggling with my first cook got the Kohl’s going good and hot. I made the mistake of letting it get up to 500 and I can’t get it back down into range. The only way I can get it below 250 is to slide the charcoal out of the way With both dampers closed as soon as I put...

    First Cook on Okie Joe Bronco

    Well, getting a later start than I anticipated, the ribs took a little longer than I expected to trim, just waiting for the temperature to get down to 240 to get started, the marbling on the dinos look promising
