    Name under Avatar

    I see under every avatar there is some kind of "ranking". I am, for example, "fire starter". Is there someplace where these "rankings" are defined? Thanks.

    Seasoning an Oklahome Joe

    I will be seasoning my new smoker today. The cooking grates are porcelain coated, so do they need to be seasoned? The lower grates are not coated so I will season them, but curious about the cooking grates. Thanks.

    Oklahoma Joe Highlander parts

    Ok, getting ready to season my new Oklahoma Joe smoker and today I cleaned the inside. In the process I found some things I don't understand. I have enclosed some photos of these below. First, what looks like spare hinges on the smoker lid and the firebox lid: This one is of a small hole...

    Exhaust Extensions

    Ok, so my new Oklahoma Joe arrived yesterday. As soon as the weather warms up above 20 degrees I'll season it. In my search for videos on how to season I ran across one or two suggesting exhaust extensions for better air flow. I have a MS in Aeronautical Engineering but have no idea about...

    Freezing Fatty

    There is only my wife and I now, so cooking family portions is pretty much a thing of the past. But we do have the family over on occasion and I was wondering if it would be possible to do two things. First, prepare a fatty, vacuum seal and freeze so available for smoking at next gathering for...

    Temp for Smoking fish

    OK, so see a lot of discussion about smoking trout and salmon and I suspect the same principles will hold for most fish. My question is how to keep the temp at 145-165 in an offset, or is that a fools errand. Would I be better off using my propane smoker and wood chips? I'm thinking a few...

    First Cold Smoke

    I did my first Cold Smoke today. Smoked Mild Chedder, Swiss, Gouda, and Colby. I did a quick taste test and to be honest did not get a lot of smoke. I smoked for 3 hours. Starting temp was 66 and end temp was 80. But my wife says I have lost my sense of taste, so may have to wait for...

    Adjust Air Flow or coal bed?

    As a newbie I have watched a lot of videos about temp control and other things "smoking". When it comes to temp control, there seems to be two schools of thought, run with dampers wide open, or use dampers to control temp. So what is the consensus here. Should the temp be controlled just...

    Coldest Outdoor Temp for Smoking

    OK, maybe one of those "New Guy Dumb Questions" but what is the coldest outside temp I can smoke. I am thinking about doing some cold smoked cheese and temps here are in the 20's and 30's for the next couple of weeks. So, is that going to be too cold? Thanks.

    Used Smoker

    Just bought an Oklahoma Joe Smoker. Its pretty dirty and I need to do a deep clean before I do any smoking. What is the best way to clean these offset smokers? Thanks.

    New from Omaha

    Hi, I am new to this forum, and relatively new to offset smoking. I smoked Salmon many years ago in Little Chief Electric and it was pretty good. I got my offset a few years back, but never really used it until last year when I smoked some trout and a turkey. They turned out OK but I had a...
