I picked up an OK Joe's Bronco on clearance for $125 at Walmart a few weeks ago. This past weekend was the first chance I had to try it out. I had a brisket in the freezer from the half of beef we bought in the spring and I thought that would be perfect to try out the new cooker...
Got the...
Hey all. Just wanted to give a heads up that the OK Joe's Bronco has been on clearance at Wally World around here locally... I picked one up on Friday for $125, originally $294... I didn't have time to cook on it yet, but I got it seasoned this weekend and I was pretty impressed. I only filled...
Many THANKS to JONOK!!! After seeing threads about converting an MES to burn chunks instead of chips, I reached out to him and he agreed to do one for my MES 30. Pictures below show what I received from him and one showing it installed in my cabinet. Did a few racks of spares yesterday and they...
I need some advice from you experts. I've been tasked with cooking 30 chickens for a grad party in a couple weeks. My plan is to get them halved, so that's 60 halves. Doing them on my A1, which is a reverse flow, offset stick burner... Any advice on keeping them moist? Brining is not really an...

So, I got the new cooker home 2 weeks ago. Got it seasoned and I'm FINALLY going to get a chance to cook on it this weekend. I've got 4 butts and a 12 1/2# packer brisket to try it out. This is the first time I've ever done a brisket. I've read a lot on this forum, and I'm curious, do I wrap it...
Got the new smoker home late Friday night. A1 Competition Smoker from Custom Pits & Fab in Watkinsville, GA. I haven't had time to fire it up and season it yet, going to get at that tomorrow while I take a few vacation days from work. I did get the road grime washed off, as we hit some pretty...
So, the wife told me it was okay to go ahead and order a new smoker. I've decided to go with the A1 Competition Smoker from Custom Pits & Fab in Watkinsville, GA. It's a 60" x 30" offset reverse flow. I added the split doors and the firebox upgrade. After serious consideration, reading reviews...
Hello all. My name is Joe and I live in Northwest PA, about an hour north of Pittsburgh. I came across this forum looking for some advice and reviews. I'm glad I stumbled in and I look forward to hanging out here and learning from the pros...
