    Need recommendation for a new smoker.

    I have the larger one. The paint is holding up fine except for the bottom if the fire box. The first few burns I had the fire grate positioned like recommended in the instructions. The fire was so low it cooked a little paint(no rust in about a year). I turned the fire grate so that it was...

    Water or NO water?

    What I noticed with my offset smoker is water helps by keeping the heat down and does make a lot of steam. I use aluminum to catch drippings and I still need a bucket on my drain to catch the water/moisture from the water pan. It does seem to keep meat a little more moist. Only down is moisture...

    Oklahoma Joe's "Grill"

    That's what I thought but it is a Oklahoma Joe's grill. It has the Oklahoma emblem with a serial number as well as the original Oklahoma thermometer. Would you have any ideas to clean the emblem? I don't want to use a wire wheel because it will scrape it. What will bring the shine back without...

    Hi everyone. I was using my PC, I stayed up late trying to sort it all out. Now I'm on my phone. Only thing I found is turning off java script and disabling 3rd party cookies helped(I think) with the slow typing. My Wife said "I don't know why you're still on there" it was so slow. Guess I...

    Oklahoma Joe's "Grill"

    I refinished this little grill a few years ago and built the stand.  I know it's made by Oklahoma Joe's but I always thought they made smokers only. My Grandfather got it new and gave it to my Father.  Now I have it and would like info in it like the model/name. Has anyone seen this grill or...

    Need recommendation for a new smoker.

    I have had the Longhorn smoker for about a year. I like it. After looking around touching and reading/viewing reviews I decided it was the best option. It is not heavy gauge steel like the older Oklahoma Joe's but it WAS the heaviest gauge currently being sold at local retailers in this price...

    Am i smoking wrong?

    Wood chips burn different than chunk. Like Chef Jimmy said, chips give off white smoke and in my opinion don't have the same flavor as splits/chunks. Try out a stick burner or a small charcoal grill instead of gas. See how it turns out. Have plenty of heat and air circulation, you'll get...

    Baby back disaster. What am I doing wrong?

    Hi, My first ribs were tough.  Two things I know now, my ribs were not done enough and my thermometers read higher than grill level temps.  When removing from foil they should be about falling off the bone.
