    Featured New Oklahoma Joe Highland - Reverse Conversion, Input needed

    I have a OKJ Highland reverse. I ditched the stock tuning plates that were way too thin. I have replaced them with a piece of 1/4" plate steel Mine rests on the side of the CC about 3" below the cook grates, Although I had to bend the front angle flange up to fit it (a lot of work). I also...

    Smoker burned off while smoking pork roast

    I would run your pit in the 250-275F range. Pork is fatty and won't dry out, what it will do is cook much faster and make for less baby sitting the pit.

    Anyone here know about BBQ Grills/Smokers?

    If grilling and smoking are the requirements along with longevity I would go with a kettle grill hands down, low cost, will last almost forever aside from replacing the grates, many aftermarket options. Great charcoal flavor for burgers, steaks and the like. The other option I would choose for...

    The secret to good brisket

    I only use butcher paper for brisket and pork shoulders, foil for ribs. Butcher paper doesn't ruin the bark like foil does. I use apple juice and apple cider vinegar for my spritz and do that about every 30-45 mins starting after the first hour of cooking up until I wrap. I check at 190F for...

    Pork Butt. Hour 14.. Still Waiting...

    Next cook, run 275- 285 F. There's enough fat to keep things moist, also around 160F use butcher paper for a wrap. Doesn't make a mushy bark and helps things along. I rest mine when it hits 205F.

    JC in GB 250 Gallon Reverse flow offset smoker build

    What in the heck are you using for a fire box that is going to be 700LBS? Use 3/16" or 1/4' plate and if you want insulate with ceramic insulation jacketed with sheetmetal, not need for anything over 1/4".

    Looking for meat resting cooler

    I personally use a cheap foam cooler my wife got from her old job. I just wash it out when done and don't care that it's stained. This along with an old blanket are what I use when resting a pork butt or brisket.

    Oklahoma Joe Highland Grill/Smoker current use. Fan, plate, wood with charcoal starter, lip cutdown, future mods and upgrades.

    I have a highland reverse, but the stamped sheetmetal baffles were a joke. I made a baffle from 1/4" plate. It does to things; one it is lower in the CC and two it holds the heat much better. I now have 10 degree temp difference between the sides. I also made a new stack that is tall enough...

    Favorite Winter Beers?

    Troegs chocolate stout, Porters, dopplebocks. Our local brewery usually has something different as well.

    Best beer with pork

    I prefer lagers with barbecue, they don't over power the food. IPAs are good with spicy foods, a stout or porter with beef dishes over winter can be good. Not a fan of hefewisen, don't care for the yeast.

    Charcoal smoking in winter.

    Walmart usually has royal oak lump and assorted chucks through winter, also Home depot and Lowes retain a small grilling section through winter.

    1st Smoker Build - Octagon Reverse Flow Smoker

    So just checked out the "fat stack smokers" They are very expensive for the quality they produce. I am a custom metal fabricator and am here to say what they are asking price wise for what they are giving you don't go together. Granted I do mostly all food and pharma stuff made from...

    Question on reverse flow smokers

    Charcoal fired be damned! You have a problem with the sizing of your stack, either it's too short or too small in diameter or both. Use the build calculator and plug in the size of your smoker this will help you determine what you need to correct things. My Highland reverse suffered from...

    What's the point of an offset smoker?

    One word on those prices.. OUCH! Hardwood firewood here in central pa is roughly $250 a cord delivered, some people have all oak. I think if I called around I could find someone with mixed species and specify what I wanted. I'm cheap though and source my wood for free. A few calls to local...

    What's the point of an offset smoker?

    Please Note that I said at least for me. I had a vertical propane smoker, this is what I base MY experiences from a vertical on. No matter what I did it wouldn't regulate heat and dry stuff out. I ended up using it only to make deer jerky before selling it. Also I'm not into the slow and low...

    Smoker build Welder under $500??

    I think what you mean to say is to stay away from self-shielded flux-cored wire ( no gas) that stuff is JUNK, flux-cored wire meant to be used with shielding gas will allow you to weld thicker and slightly dirty material (kinda like ER7018 stick rod).
