    Cold & Snow

    I've done a few cooks this winter in about 32*F temps. Things went well in dry weather conditions. Tomorrow is going to be snowing all day here in Northern UT with temps right at freezing. I'm worried about the snow hitting the smoker and the resultant heat loss due to the changing of states...

    Jerk Chicken Question

    I love my gas grill jerk chicken recipe but want to try it on my OK Joe Bronco this weekend. I marinate chicken bone-in thighs and/or quarters in orange pineapple juice, jerk seasoning, s/p, thyme, and red pepper flakes. What type of wood would work well with this sweet, yet spicy flavoring? I...

    Availability of OK Joe’s Smokers

    I cannot find an OK Joe’s Bronco drum smoker anywhere. I’m in northern UT and the closest in-stock one I’m finding is in Missoula, MT. About a 7.5 hour drive so... no. Anybody else that bought one of their smokers and we’re forced to order it and pay $150 for shipping? Lowe’s carries their...

    Howdy from Ogden, UT

    Hey, folks! I’ve never smoked anything (ever!) but am an avid home cook and have lurked here for a while. I’m taking the plunge and after waaaay too much research and buying a OJoe Bronco tomorrow and can’t wait to get started. I’ve been in UT for about 30 years (the USAF brought me here...
