    Fire Management - Version Umpteen

    Thank you, thank you, thank you. I came on to search for 'why after my charcoal dies down in my OKJ Highlander, and I add wood to keep temperature, I lose my TBS and get white smoke'.  (I do have wood in with the charcoal, too)  This post helped me understand why and what I could do to minimize...

    Frustrated with Mavericks probes

    Time for me to smoke and 'eat crow'. I received an email today from Maverick asking for my address so they could send me a replacement probe.

    Frustrated with Mavericks probes

    Have to agree with the angst of 732 probes and lack of customer service (at least for me). I ordered a 732 unit through Amazon in late March 2016 and received it April 6. On July 14 I started a smoke and the 'cook' reading was 'LLL'. I read the solution suggestion without any luck. Fortunately...

    4th of July

    Have to laugh at myself. When I read the title I expected to see a beginners-like off-set smoker that a newbie like me would would have. Ha, quite the contrary. (Unless your a newbie with great ambitions). I doubt it, looks like a great outfit for pros. Hope the smoker was everything you...

    Wanting to try stick cooking

    That struck close to home. I was smoking a whole butt and literally sat on the patio for about 9 hours off and on just watching the smoker and monitoring the Maverick. About 7 hours into the cook my wife asked if I had to watch the smoker all the time. I could sense a 'honey-do' coming so I...

    1st stick smoke question

    Just a follow up on my original post. I was still having excessive white smoke issues so I re-read this entire thread, Hallaluia, or however it's spelled, there were some tip brought up that I tried and the 'we've elected a new Pope' smoke, I think, has been eliminated. There's still one...

    OKJoe,firebox vent closes

    I did a 'search' for this but didn't get any hits. The firebox vent on my OKJoe Highland wants to close by itself.  I under stand why but an hoping to find a solution to stop it. When it starts self closing I'll tighten the screw/nut for the vent and thing are usually fine, thought I sometimes...

    What's your minimum?

    I never thought of smoking and freezing! We have a vacuum sealer too, so why not, we frozen pulled pork already. Sometimes it just takes a little nudge from someone else. Gonna have to look up some of those recipes phatbac/Aaron suggested. Thanks for the feedback, time to start planning.

    What's your minimum?

    I have the urge to smoke something but with just two of us I have a hard time justifying the effort involved. (An hour to get the coals ready, babysitting the smoker etc.) What is the minimum you would fire up your smoker for? 2 chicken leg quarters? 5 brats? I don't have a huge smoker, OKJoe...

    Finding Charcoal

    Just left the WM in Greenwood SC, they had at least a pallet of RO charcoal.. $6.58 for an 8.8# bag. Don't know if that's cheap or not but they have it.

    1st stick smoke question

    There are a lot of pecan trees around here that will 'self prune'. Folks are happy to get the limbs out of the way and I'm happy to help them.

    1st stick smoke question

    Seeing this post about splits the size of a soda can (we call them pop cans) brought up a question. A neighbor cut down a cherry tree and gave me the wood, nice neighbor. After splitting the larger pieces there are still several branches that are about pop/soda can size in diameter. Is it...

    1st stick smoke question

    By experimenting I found that using the ash door along with the vent on the FB gave me better temp control and reduced the smoke, probably from more air. (I was warming the splits) Another thing I learned was to add wood before the temp dropped for lack of fuel. Otherwise my coals had about...

    1st stick smoke question

    I have an OK Joe Highland offset. I've noticed if I open the FB lid the wood ignites and the smoking stops.

    1st stick smoke question

    Doing my first stick smoke. Everything seems to be going well except for the smoke. I'm using cherry, it's a damp, overcast 70 degree day. I'm not getting the blue/clear smoke. It's constantly fairly thick white. I'm holding temp at grate level in the 230 range. Am I doing something wrong or...
