    Need a source for bags of Peach Wood Chunks?

    Thanks for the idea Dave! I actually have a small Delta band saw and didn't think to use it - though I usually have a soft metal cutting blade on it. It has plenty of throat and it only takes a few minutes to change the blade to one with more appropriate teeth per inch.

    Need a source for bags of Peach Wood Chunks?

    Forgot to mention that sometimes in the warm months, like now, I also make a minced/muddled Peach and Bourbon Iced Tea that is both refreshing, and ties in with the Peach flavor used in smoking, and my Hot Peach Preserve and Bourbon Finishing Sauce.

    Need a source for bags of Peach Wood Chunks?

    Peach wood has a flavor profile that is a little stronger and sweeter than Apple, and goes really well with the Hot Peach Preserve and Bourbon Finishing Sauce I make for Grilled Pork Tenderloins and Pork Chops.

    Need a source for bags of Peach Wood Chunks?

    Chef JimmyJ, A number of years ago I met someone that had a close relative with a peach orchard and he agreed to bring me some trimmed discard wood from their peach orchard in exchange for six dozen fresh eggs from our chickens. The wood was in short length branches of a few inch diameter that...

    Need a source for bags of Peach Wood Chunks?

    Thanks for the thought, but the problem with Amazon Prime (I am a member) is that it's NOT really free shipping, as the shipping price is already built into the price you pay and they just say it's free as a catchword! I was paying $20 for a 2/3 cubic foot bag, which would translate to at least...

    Need a source for bags of Peach Wood Chunks?

    I used to buy 2/3 cubic foot bags of Peach Wood Chunks made by "Smoke Me BBQ Wood" in Russell County, KS from my dealer FireCraft, but that dealer seems to now be out of business. They had a minimum order for free shipping of $100 which I could happily meet by ordering enough bags and other...

    Comment by 'ski-freak' in media 'OK Joe Labyrinth Charcoal Basket.JPG'

    It's just two pieces of expanded metal, each bent into a "U", and then you sit one on top of the other offset so you have a double thickness bottom, and 4 sides. Set your MIG Welder very low and make a few small welds on each of the 4 corners and also on the bottom to hold everything together...

    Thermostats for new Oklahoma Joe Longhorn

    I just drilled the holes and installed them, and didn't use any RTV. The holes were somewhere between 1/4 and 3/8 inch and I just picked the right drill bit. It took a little while to drill through the steel, but the thermometers came with all the right hardware. There were no leaks.

    Have you tried putting some unburned smoke wood chunks and/or sticks (dried, split, de-barked and seasoned) on top of your bed of charcoal yet?

    Cold weather cooking

    This is the fan I use to blow the smoke out through the screen wall of my screen room: http://www.laskoproducts.com/model-4914/ It's a high velocity blower style fan, that I bought it at Lowes. I position it as far inside my screen room as I can on the floor and against the interior wall, and...

    Cold weather cooking

    My Kamado in the Screen Room, right off the kitchen and visible through double French doors (note snow outside): The ceramic walls are thick enough to sit it right in the middle of a teak table, and I use a high velocity fan aimed at the exhaust stack to carry most of the smoke outside. I can...

    OK Joe gets a Hat

    Even a hat doesn't help when it's winter. Apart from the cold temperatures, the snow makes even walking around a challenge: This picture also shows the relevance of using a cover over your grill when it isn't being used. There is even a Lodge Cast Iron Hibachi Style Grill totally under the...
