    ATC on an OK Joe Longhorn Reverse Flow

    Hello, all! I bought an Oklahoma Joe Longhorn reverse flow smoker a couple of years ago. I've used it about 2x a month since, using locally sourced white oak. The results for brisket and pork shoulder are fantastic, but I have issues with temperature control, and my chicken and ribs are not...

    I FINALLY got a Chuckie right!

    I'm fairly good with BBQ, normally I run pork (shoulder, babyback ribs) and/or chicken thighs (cupcake style.) My GF loves brisket, and lately I've gotten decent results with brisket flats. But chuck roast has been my nemesis. Always tough, chewy, dried out. I've tried different temps...

    I need a suggestion for a salt substitute

    Impulse buy - Ok Joe Longhorn Reverse

    I've been smoking food for about 12 years, using WSMs. But my family has grown: my three children have gotten married, grandkids have arrived and now for Sunday BBQ, I can add my GF and her kids as well. So as you can guess, the WSM doesn't have the capacity for all of us, and running multiple...

    Beef back ribs

    Happy Easter! My GF gifted me with a package of beef back ribs from Kroger. I've smoked a LOT of pork ribs, but I've never smoked beef back ribs before. I'm looking for ideas and suggestions, please. When I do pork ribs, I use a variation of the Johnny Trigg 3-2-1: 3 hours smoking (2 for...
