After a test burn last week, which I was able to get a good range of temperatures 225-300 degrees...I fired up the my new OKJ Longhorn today...
Imitation being the highest form of flattery, I modified it with the HD Gate Latches and used a elbow to get the smoke down to the grate level. Here is a photo of the OKJ....
I used Kingsford Charcoal and Mesquite wood chunks had had a hard time getting the smoker up to temperature....and today was a warmer day than when I did my test burn....Strange...
Had few leaks which I need to seal, which should help my heat control....but overall I am pleased....
Here are the results:
The pork spare ribs cooked using a simple dry rub and the 3-2-1 method and actually the meat fell off the bone before the last step....
The Brisket is at hour 11 on the smoker and is sitting at 172 degrees (I am shooting for 190)....the smoker temp is around 240 degrees....the internal temp sat at 161 for about 3 hours, but is moving up now....I think I just broke through the brisket stall....
I am waiting on my convection plate and charcoal cage from Horizons....can't wait to see how they will help...
