Just found out my local ACE carries Rockwood. Its kinda pricey but its worth not having to pay the shipping. 

This is the only Lump Charcoal I use in my Stumps. Very little ash, great heat, slow burning. 

Well Tim, I'd would start by looking at how you have your dampers set up. Basically, your far end damper will control your airflow which in turn, controls your temp. Leave the far end damper full open and control the temps with the firebox damper. Next, get a heat baffle plate. This will...

That's how it's done!  Good Job!!!

Amen!!

Just like any other tool, a smoker is only as good as the person using it. And what's the best way to get really good? Practice, practice, practice since as we all know, experience is the best teacher. Smoke On!

Today was the day. I cleaned as much of the creosote as I could get out of the OKJ. I used Easy Off oven cleaner to loosen the grease and creosote. The power washer certainly came in handy as getting the grill clean took some effort. Doing it by hand might be an option but don't wait too long...

 Its time. I've had the OKJ now for about 2 years and I've noticed a creosote build up on the dome in the smoking chamber.I also noticed a build up of grease on the heat baffle as well so I think its time to give the Longhorn a good bath.  I'll be using a 2800psi power washer and the most...

You won't know it until you see it during a smoke. Usually you can spot the leaks when you "season" the smoker. I just added the felt gasket from the Large BGE to the cooking chamber. I put it on the chamber instead of the door using weatherstrip adhesive as I did have leakage around the door...

Yeah, Sparkie is right. My stack comes out the side just like in the picture he showed. You could always try getting it to stay by using friction. That is, buy the sleeve just a bit larger than the diameter of your smoke stack. Since they're aluminum, you should be able to crunch one end of your...

You won't be sorry and congrats! Welcome to the wonderful world of stick burning. First thing you do while seasoning it is to note the smoke leak points. It will leak some and you'll want to address that soon as you can. The next mod would be to get a heat baffle plate. If you know any...

I have the Longhorn and I got the 20" Plate. 

I admire your grit. I would start with buying the gasket material used around Large BGE's. Use weather strip glue around the cooking chamber opening (follow the directions) and not the door. The temp in the smoking chamber should never get so high as to melt the glue so you should be good to go...

then I would piss on their product every chance I got everywhere I saw any reference to it. In public, if you see someone looking at it in a big box store, talk them out of the purchase. Other than that, go on and get the WSM.  If Brinkmann was a legitmate manufacturer, they would have offered...

I had thought Brinkmann would have had an American based presence and they do.. They're based out of Texas so you may need to get someone that's fluent in Texan..  

I own the OKJ and from what I've read, at the price point we're talking about... $400-$500, The Joe is your best bet. Just make sure you do a really good visual inspection on it in the store you're buying it from. Make sure the chamber door lines up straight along with the firebox. You're better...

You might want to contact the manufacturer and let them know exactly what you think of their product. You might get something out of it if you layout exactly what your experience was. Make sure you get to customer service and talk to a boss as I'm sure they have a phone #. Follow up with an...

Well, the upside is that I completed the Rib smoke today without any problem using chips. The next time I smoke some cured bacon, I'll use the AMNS. I usually keep the smoker temp at 200F max anyway when smoking pork belly.  Thanks for the tips on the airflow issue. I'd like to think...

Bear, I have the Gen2 MES 40. I have it outside in a covered area. I also use the 6x6 and I think that one only burns dust so Pellets might not be an option for me with this. I will burn the next tray quite a bit longer before putting it in the smoker too.  Will keep ya posted!

thanks for the Tips! I'll give those a try today...
