    Jeff's barrel smoked chicken

    I was reading Jeff's latest email this morning. I also have forgotten how perfectly a drum cooker worked for chicken. Mine has been sitting under cover for about a year, forgotten as I played with other cooking toys. This weekend I am going to fire it up and hang some jerk seasoned chicken...

    Chuck Roast as hard as a rock......................

    It did get to a stall at 6 hours. Just, the stall was 145° rather than 165°

    Chuck Roast as hard as a rock......................

    Last thing I felt like doing at 11pm was to take pictures! Anyways, the purpose of the post was to let people realize the truth about not using time when it comes to fairly large beef pieces of meat. Someone else may duplicate exactly what I did and have a perfect roast in 6 hours, you just...

    Tried a Hawaiian Theme meal= Thank God for the Cake

    Looks tasty. But, I grew up on the beaches of Kauai Hawaii and California and it can't be a Hawaii theme unless it includes the two Hawaiian mainstays, macaroni salad made with tiny macaroni and too much mayo and somewhere Spam has to be incorporated into the meal. LOL

    Chuck Roast as hard as a rock......................

    I bought a beautiful CAB chuck roast on Thursday and Friday morning got it ready to smoke. I never looked at the weight but it was nice and thick and well marbled. I used my RecTec Bull this time rather than my Bronco pit barrel. While it was coming up to the temp. of 225° I seasoned the roast...

    Updated thoughts on the poor man's BGE, AKA Oklahoma Joes Bronco.

    The BGE is popular because it is a great combination smoker/grill. Easy temp. control, fairly low charcoal usage allowing long cooks.

    Venison Pastrami

    Now that is interesting and looks great. Never thought to make venison pastrami. Did you use roasts from the hind quarters?

    Updated thoughts on the poor man's BGE, AKA Oklahoma Joes Bronco.

    I have been using the Oklahoma Joe's Bronco about 3-4 times per week now for a couple of months. For those that have not used it, I can best describe it as a hybrid between a Kamado Grill and a Barrel cooker. Anyone that has researched this cooker knows that there is pretty much universal...

    BBQ Guru for Oklahoma Joe's Bronco

    Thank you Dan. As I have continued to use the Bronco and learn it's idiosycncricies I have realized that our obsession with rock steady temps. are not so important. I had forgotten how good BBQ food was before the introduction of heat controllers a few years ago. I have no doubt you could find a...

    Which gravity smoker?

    First smoke I used Roayal Oak lump, which I had always used with my classic. Then switched to briquettes since they would have a more uniform size and less likely to get stuck. Can't remember which one I tried but, it also stopped falling. I called Stumps and they gave me a short list of brands...

    Poor Mans Big Green Egg, AKA Oklahoma Joe's Bronco Drum Smoker

    I have been using a Oklahoma Joe's Bronco for 3 months and feel that I am ready for a review. I call it a poor man's BGE because they both work as a smoker with a diffuser plate in and a grill with the diffuser plate removed. Obviously they are made from different materials. In brief, here are...

    Which gravity smoker?

    I had a Stumps Classic for 15 years before making the mistake of selling it because I never used more than two racks. In fact, almost never needed more than one. I used a BGE for a few years but, really missed my Stumps so, I had a Baby Stump made for me. Not the same animal at all as the...

    Where do you guys get your wood chunks from?

    I guess I am lucky. I live in NC and there are old pecan and oak trees everywhere that I use for my fireplace and wood for my smokers. Even if you live in the city there must be fruit or hardwood trees that are being cut down somewhere in your area. Better yet, someone that will pay you to trim...

    BBQ Guru for Oklahoma Joe's Bronco

    I would like to adapt a BBQ Viper fan to the Bronco drum smoker. You can't do it at the top because of the screw there. I was thinking that I would remove the top half of the intake pipe which would leave the bottom section which is a perfect round. Not knowing anything about plumbing parts, is...

    Pork shoulder perfection

    If you like Mexican food, smoked pork shoulder or butt goes great in tacos. I like it better than carnitas. A salsa with fresh sweet summer corn kernals and black beans added to the salsa, goes really well with the smoked pork. Topped off with some Mexican crema or sour cream and avocado slices...
