This will be my first real smoke on my new modded Oklahoma Joe. I injected pork loin with Creole butter and apple juice then rubbed light coat of mustard before adding the rub. I use Plow Boys rub that I have modded more to my liking on the loin. The whole chicken was also injected with straight Creole butter. A light coat of mustard, a light layer of Creole seasoning and a good layer of Mojave Garlic Pepper. Hopefully my Tapatalk will work all day so I can easily add updates with pictures.

Meat looks great!

I love the charcoal basket, the way it looks like the Amaze-N-Smoker.  You say this is the first run with this?

In theory it should work great!  Todd's design applied to an altered Minion Method!

Let us know how it does!  Very interesting.

I have tested it and the maze is not working like it should. This time I dumped hoy coals in and then stacked the other charcoal in. In my test runs the whole basket of charcoals lite's up and burns out in less then 4 hours.
 
Saving the chicken for dinner tomorrow. I had a hard time with temps today. I was able to hold 225-250 but I had to open vent and exhaust all the way and at times even open FB door. It is 80 here today but windy. I am using Kingsford that was on sale at Lowe's 2 - 20 lb bags for $13. Maybe there is a reason it's on sale.

After I pulled chicken I decided to test some wood in FB. I dumped the coals in bottom of FB and tossed my basket off to the side. I then tossed some wood in and had no problem get good temps and controlling it. Next time I use the Okie Joe I will cut some small wood and use it instead of charcoal. I just think the basket is to small (14" x 14" x 5") for the smoker and will not produce enough heat.
