    Welded up the firebox and firebox door

    Makes sense! Thanks. Sorry about all the questions. I'm running a chargriller with all the mods right now but looking to get an OK joe in the near future. Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk

    Welded up the firebox and firebox door

    Maybe I'm thinking of a different OK Joe, but how are you loading wood? Or are you burning chips/pellets in it? I run an offset stick burner and I'm pretty new to smoking (just started in spring this year). Just trying to understand a little bit more. The welds look pretty good from the...

    Au Jus

    I've got a real good au jus recipe but it takes time. Start with a med to large stock pot (depending on what size bones you have). Along with that you will need: 1c each chopped: Celery, onion, carrot, and green pepper 4-5c beef drippings 1-6" sprigfresh rosemary 2-6" sprigs fresh thyme 2...

    That pasta looks awesome, So does the pastrami melt! It's amazing what kind of blems you can get for a steal most of the time especially if you're not a stranger to the local farms and markets. Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk

    Jäger Schnitzel with Morel mushrooms

    That looks so good! The morels are a nice touch. I'm a huge fan of wild edibles. Morels are the only mushroom I've foraged for, but that's changing this year. Some might say it's a waste of morels but one of the best trail meals I've ever had was morel and wild green soup. Found enough for...

    Smoked Brook Trout & Tilapia (Hickory Smoke)

    I know I'm a little late to the party but tilapia is an iffy fish and I try to stay clear of it personally. Pollutants and handling aside, there is very little nutritional value in them. Those brookies looked delicious though. Especially if they were natural Brooks. They seem to have a...

    Catering bill

    Also forgot to mention, just because you raise the hogs yourself doesn't mean it cuts the cost. I would check out avg cost on farm fresh hogs and cost out your meals based on that. Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk

    Catering bill

    That's a good way to get you into the ball park. It's better to shoot for 30% food cost, but then again you don't have the overhead to cover that a large commercial kitchen would. Charging by the head or per plate is probably your best option. This is probably a given but you always want a...

    Alto Shaam Smokers - Has anyone used these?

    Unfortunately I can't comment on the alto shaam smoker, I will say the holding cabinets are awesome. Had two of them in the last kitchen I ran, and they really came in handy. Pretty reliable, and the temp settings seemed to be spot on. Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk

    Christmas Cheese Smoke

    Veggie flavored buttercrisp, regular buttercrisp, whole grain, and water crackers all go well with smoked cheeses. The last restaurant I ran, we would get an assortment of crackers sealed in 20-25 cracker sleeves. I don't remember who made the crackers (maybe keibler, believe it or not) but...

    New guy here!

    thanks Gary. I'm looking forward to learning as much as I can. I know before long I'm going to be adding something else to my smoker arsenal, this offset is great for big cuts and long runs but doing smaller stuff and low temp stuff is a pain! I've been lurking and trying to pick up what I...

    Anyone cook squirrel?

    Those all sound really good! I've only done squirrel fried, but I'm going to try a few of these. Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk
