    Rust on smoker

    Alright, I'm underway on my restore of my new to me Tejas. Some questions: the top of the firebox here has been wire brushed and then hit with a sand flat on and angle grinder and 40 grit sandpaper.

    Seasoning cut wood

    Hi All- Newbie here. I have a bunch of maple and cherry wood that I have stacked in my garage to season, but I have a question with expediting the "seasoning"; the wood itself are cut to about 4"-6" chunks, and I know you're supposed to give it months to a year to season ideally. I have an OKJ...

    OKJ Hyland sealant questions

    Hey all- First post, I have an OKJ Hyland offset that I am planning on stripping of the paint (since its all discoloring and flaking) and then I want to seal the usual suspect spots. I already have gaskets and latches on for the cook chamber, but I want to seal up where the chamber meets the...
