    Best Meat Slicer for Bacon and/or Brisket

    Thanks. The way I got the longer slices was to use a little bit of trigonometry. I take the longest side of the bacon against the cutting side. (Hypotenuse). Then I tilt the bacon upwards at about 45 degrees to the plane. kinda like this: /  <- representing the bacon. Then I simply guide the...

    oklahoma joe's smoker?

    The costs of "modding" the new OKJ is a lot easier on the wallet. The Horizon's will cost over $1900 just to be in the game. The one I was looking at came in at $1975 ish and wifey in no uncertain terms said "fuggedaboutit". With small investments like Olive Oil to coat the outside of the grill...

    Smoked Chuckies vs. Smoke Briskies. Which is better?

    Just asking the question folks. I've done both and oddly enough, the thin sliced chuckie seems to be a bigger hit than the briskets with my guests. The taste seems to be more beefy with the Chuckie. The Brisket, smoke ring and all, has a great taste as well and if I shaved it, might give the...

    How to prevent outside rust on the Oklahoma Joe

    Thanks for all the responses guys! I will stop power washing as often as I do and will repaint the outside with Rustoleum high temp grill paint after wire brushing the rust off.

    How to prevent outside rust on the Oklahoma Joe

    I'm pretty anal about keeping my stuff in good shape. I keep a cover on the OKJ when not in use and I powerwash the inside of the smoker every other month or so depending on how often I use it. Recently, I've noticed a bit of rust build up on the SFB and just a small bit on the cooking chamber...

    Pastrami from scratch on the Smokin It #3

    Thanks for the reply Putt. I do need to put that corned beef back in the sink for another few hours just to get the salt out. Should I go with the MES or the OkieJoe?

    Pastrami from scratch on the Smokin It #3

    Great looking Pastrami! I'm trying my first one this weekend. I had to get a corned beef brisket that I'm soaking the flavor out of so I can convert it to Pastrami. Is there a dry rub I can use or is brine the only way to go? I was also wondering at what IT did you take the pastrami off the...

    oklahoma joe's smoker?

    Depends on what I'm cookin Raas. I did some 1.5" Bone in Ribeye steaks on the SFB directly and they came out better than Texas Roadhouse's steaks. I don't think I'll ever need to grill on the smoking chamber side as the cooking area is huge.

    oklahoma joe's smoker?

    I just got my replacement OKJ today. I inspected it thoroughly and found no issues so I signed and accepted delivery. The delivery guys took my old Okie w/o any problem although I did take the time to point out the issues. I also registered this new OKJ with Charbroil and called their CS. Be...

    oklahoma joe's smoker?

    I purchased my Okie back in June and generally, I've been satisfied with the product. However, I do have some minor gripes regarding its construction. I accepted delivery of my Joe w/o actually giving it a good going over. This is my fault entirely as I found several welds not to have held and...

    Thermostats for new Oklahoma Joe Longhorn

    Tending a fire all night long vs setting and forgetting. I'm thinking the Brisket on the OKJ for the smoke ring and perhaps a 7hr smoke at 275F. Putting the picnic in the MES with hickory chips for a 13hr smoke at 225F overnight for really tender/juicy pulled pork. I'm human after all and I know...

    Thermostats for new Oklahoma Joe Longhorn

    I'll find out soon enough..  The plate sits high enough over the opening so that decent smoke and heat should filter into the chamber with the stack end full open. Up until now, I've had to burn a lot of fuel to get my grate temps high enough to be useful because all my heat went straight to...

    Thermostats for new Oklahoma Joe Longhorn

    New Convection Plate came today! Box was hammered but thank goodness, the plate was undamaged. One thing to be aware of is that the plate stands off from the rear wall roughly 1/4" which means to put the cooking grates side by side, you'll have to cut one of the grates for both to fit in the...

    That's one BA smoker!  It all looks fabulous Demo. With all that food, you must have been busier than a one armed paper hanger!
