Food and Drink What are you Smoking/Grilling/BBQ'ing this weekend? - Page 116

**BigRedChief** · 07-03-2015, 03:48 PM

What are you up to this weekend?

I finally gave up on my smoker and decided to get a new smoker. I went with a bigger model but less tech. Yes, its a cheater electric smoker. My 3rd one. I need more space to cook, I don't need help getting my smoke and temp right.

I've also never used injection for flavor except for pork butt or other big cuts of meat. I decided to give it a try. I developed my own injection. Basically like the other recipes you have out on the internet but I'm putting the rub in the injection and using sirracchi.

Full results not in yet but my son and I think its the best sausage we have ever had.

No sauce. Marinated the meat overnight. Injected the meat. Slow cooked the ribs and chicken. Baste it with a combo of butter and apple juice. Using a combination of Apple, Mesquite, Cherry and Hickory wood.

yes nice smokers, i'd rather have an original OK Joes that has been cared for.

I'm cheap but really, it's just a smoker.

OK Joe's have smokers at Lowe's but the metal is thin...I'm willing to spend $800-$1000 but not much more. From what I'm reading the current top of the line Ok Joe's is still trash.

it has to be an older one where the handles are welded on and the fire box is wlded too.

There was a time where a welded handles and a bolted on box was still a great smoker but they were rare. them things went to crap.

The badge has to look like this to be a "real OK Joes" the lettering is all inside the outline of OK.

If you can find a pre 97 New Braunfels it was built like a submarine. Char Broiler LLC bought New Braunfels and Oklahoma Joe's and made them subsidiaries. Dont thing they make anything now out of the NB name, and finding the old ones are near impossible in any kind of condition. Its the fireboxes that burn out even the 1/4" steel so really your better off with bolt on so that part is replaceable. Also 1/8" vs 1/4" steel doesnt mean much in temperature retainment only really added weight. I would be fine the thinner gauge as long as the firebox is replaceable because it will burn out long before your smoke chamber. Only disadvantage really would be needing modifications.

I'd stick my dick in it

Flat was a little on the dry side, probably was ready early. Burnt ends came out great. Love the bark.

The burnt ends look great and you have a heavy bark on the flat which not everyone can achieve. Nice.

MTG#10 · 05-27-2019, 07:38 PM

Is this a good deal?

The chickens were the best I’ve done on poultry, that was a real hit. The ribs were good, the pulled pork was ok.

I think so as long as it passes inspection for rust. It looks fresh. Looks a little short but he 20" diameter makes it worth it.

Filet mignon, shrimp, and asparagus.

Yeah I put it back on unwrapped after I separated probably should have sacrificed the bark for moisture and wrapped it. Not bad for being my 4th brisket, learned for the next cook.
