    Need a source for bags of Peach Wood Chunks?

    I used to buy 2/3 cubic foot bags of Peach Wood Chunks made by "Smoke Me BBQ Wood" in Russell County, KS from my dealer FireCraft, but that dealer seems to now be out of business. They had a minimum order for free shipping of $100 which I could happily meet by ordering enough bags and other...

    OK Joe gets a Hat

    It keeps raining on my smoking, so I finally picked up a Chimney Cap: It's a standard 3 inch Chimney Cap that I simply "adjusted" with my thumb, and now I can jam it in the top of my Oklahoma Joe Longhorn Exhaust Stack whenever I'm cooking in the rain to keep the rain out. This should work...

    Side Burner Air Intake "Butterfly" Modification?

    I am thinking about closing off the upper of the two air intake butterfly openings on my Oklahoma Joe Longhorn Smoker/Grill to improve its airflow pattern and possibly efficiency. Has anyone done this already and can provide me with their insight, or does anyone have any thoughts on this. Here...

    Premium Home-Made Weber Kettle 22.5 Hover Grill

    Today I  welded some 3/16th inch diameter steel rod legs onto the bottom of a Premium Porcelan Coated Cast Iron Replacement Cooking Grate for a Char-Broil Patio Caddie, to allow more grill surface inside my Weber Kettle 22.5. The result is an "Upper Deck" Cast Iron secondary cooking grate. The...

    Made a Simple Firebox Clean-Out Tool

    To make the Clean-Out Blade I just held a piece of scrap 16 Gauge steel up to the side of my offset side firebox and traced its curved radius onto the steel with a Sharpie felt tip pen - then I cut the steel with a benchtop open throat hand shear. I hammered it flat and filed the edges smooth...

    Home-Made Fan Assisted Stoker for my Side Fire Box

    I saw some expensive thermostatically controlled blowers being sold for forcing more air into the air intake of various smokers, and was pretty floored that they get $300 for some of these things. I thought about it and the times I would really want to stoke my firebox would be to help it heat...

    Home-Made Weber Kettle Charcoal Basket(s)

    I use my Weber 22.5 Kettle quite a bit, and I use hot burning natural charcoal briquets, plus I add lump charcoal and mesquite/hickory wood chunks. I have always heeded Weber's warnings and kept my coals off of the enameled sides of the kettle, to avoid premature burn-through, which limits how...

    Made a Long Burning Charcoal Basket for my Firebox

    It's made from two 12" X 24" sheets of 18 Gauge Expanded Steel, each bent into a "U" and positioned with one sheet stting right on top of the other, but turned 90 degrees to each other so that there are 4 sides and a double thickness bottom (takes longer to burn through). The sides are 6...

    Received Cover for my Oklahoma Joe Longhorn Smoker/Grill

    I was searching around the Intrawebs and saw that Char-Broil sells a cover for my OK Joe and wanted to let anyone else that might be looking for one know that such a thing is available pretty inexpensively. They still have it on their site for $30 and it costs $10 for shipping, and is a nicely...

    Dry Aging / Wet Aging Beef Tips?

    OK, so there's Dry Aged Beef that's been kept in a special room on wire racks with air circulation, and there's Wet Aged Beef kept in plastic with no air. Does anyone have any tips to follow on how long, what temperature, etc for success?

    Hello from New England

In Rhode Island I cook on our patio with an Oklahoma Joe Longhorn Offset Horizontal using charcoal and wood. We also have a big stainless Jenn-Air gas grill for fast outdoor cooking. We live in...
