    What are the latest brisket prices?

    Costco in Wichita $2.79 form prime packer cut. I was sweating it out. They had zero up until today. I'd been looking since late last week. Sam's east today only had 3 flats. I was thinking my smoking plans for this weekend would have to change.  They had about a dozen to choose from. I picked up...

    Suggested High Temp Paint?

    VHT SP102 Flameproof Coating flat black. $14.38 on Amazon. Paint for a fireplace would work also. I bought some from my fireplace dealer to touch up my insert. I can't find that paint in my mess. I have used the VHT on heddars and liked it. That's probably what I'd use on my OKJ when I touch it up.

    Suggested High Temp Paint?

    Instead of engine paint you would be better off using high heat exhaust paint. Like VHT found at auto parts store. My can says it's good to 2000 deg. I have painted exhaust manifolds with it and it seems to hold up. VHT Flameproof Coating. Engine paint is only good to 500-600 degrees generally.

    Cleaning OK Joe or any offset smoker

    I scrape mine out of the loose or crumbly stuff with an old automotive window scraper. When it gets a bit too dull to remove frost and ice it works good and wont scratch. I use it in the main body and in the firebox. I scrape the outer wall and my heat management plate.

    IGrill2 with 4 probes in San Antonio for $80.00

    I just picked up one here in Wichita for $79.91 at my local Sam's. I noticed the bbq stuff on an isle and knowing the deal some folks got on them last year I looked and sure enough there they are. 4 probe included. I bought an igrill2 last year when Amazon had them for the deal of the day. I...

    I love the bags from Vacum Sealers Unlimited!!! Pics included!!

    Thanks for the write up fpmich. I was looking at the 350 as I was perusing the site and decided when my current sealer quits (or before if it pisses me off sooner) I'd get either it or the 380. It's nice to have mention of points that a person sees but doesn't see. Like the clear lid. How nice...

    IDevice IGrill2 Thermometer

    I like my igrill2. I use it with my Kindle. I don't demand much from it. I'm not too demanding of what I want. I use it to display what my temps are on a nice large display. I do wish that you could change the scale on the graph viewed which I'd like to do. Mine will work into the house and down...

    What are the latest brisket prices?

    I get prime packers at Costco for $2.69-$2.79 here in Wichita Ks. 12-20 lb sizes. Our Sam's has choice for around $2.49. Usually a bit smaller than the Costco packers. Our WMs usually only have flats or points.

    WHERE DO YOU RUN THE LEADS?

    Good idea Joe. That is what I want to do. I've seen this but though $29.95 was a bit high. Sorry for the low res images. It's a probe port for Yoder YS480 and YS640 smokers. The electrical connector should work the same. I'll have to hit HD or Lowe's up and look. I'd completely forgot about...

    Temp Controller (blower) on an offset smoker

    Thanks Willie. I've looked at The Auber units and you can get a 10 or 20 CFM blower for $154. I'm not sure which size I'd go with. I did contact Auber customer support and they thought either would work for my smoker. An Okie Joe Longhorn has less volume or close to as a 55 gallon drum made...

    Basic Brisket Smoke

    I must say this place rocks! I've only smoked 2 briskets in my offset but both turned out amazing. That is due to the details everyone shares which enable a relative noob to make some fine tasting meat. I set the bar pretty high in regards to what I turn out. So far the 2 were good. As with...

    What moisture meter are you using?

    No offense taken. I've burnt firewood for years and i know what you mean. I can tell by the way my firewood burns (how fast and how long) how seasoned it is. I understand the "feel" you are talking about though too. I've just seen much reference to a specific range for stick burner wood and...

    What moisture meter are you using?

    I finally had some time to look at the various moisture meters available and none really stood out. The General MMD4E seems to be sold at a lot of places and the General brand makes some of my tools. I could use it for my smoking wood and for my firewood I heat with. What are you using?

    Temp Controller (blower) on an offset smoker

    I have seen a few people who use a temp controller/blower on their wood smokers and I had a curious interest in them. A few weeks ago I bought an igrill2 thermometer and used it on my last 2 smokes. Now that I have an accurate reading at grate level I find myself paying more attention to the...

    Failed cook Ok Joe but not his fault I think

    I had that problem or it's brother uncontrollable heat temp in mine at first. I put a gasket between the two halves of my firebox. I made a charcoal basket. (two actually. I made the first too small) And I bought a "heat management plate" for a Yoder Wichita and put in mine. It's good and...
