Hi All,
I’m new to SMF and it looks like a great community! I am originally from Texas but now live in Oakland, CA. Just got an Oklahoma Joe offset smoker and today will be only my 3rd official smoke (although I did smoke a brisket once on my charcoal Weber dome). I’m still a novice, so any advice is welcome.
Last night I smoked salmon and today I’ve got a 12 lb brisket & 3 racks of ribs going. I’m finding it extremely difficult to keep my temperature up and consistent on this OKJoe. I know I’ve got to be doing something wrong I’m just not sure what...perhaps not getting enough oxygen to the wood? Anyway, trying to not panic but my brisket temp keeps going down instead of up because I can’t get this darn temp up.
Looking for and to chatting with you all, thanks in advance for your help/advice! :)
