Default first real smoke with the new OK Joe

Since a few of you guys were nice enough to give me a few pointers on my new offset, I thought I would let you know how it went yesterday.

It was just the wife and me so all I did was one slab of baby backs. The reason its cut in half is becuase when I bought it, it was 3 in a pack. And at the time I had a small vertical wattburner and I have to cut them to fit, so I cut and froze them

Anyway, I thought it went real well. It was about 25f out when I started and then it started snowing. I was able to keep my target temp of 250f without any trouble at all. I did not have a lot of splits available to I used a combo of lump and splits for the cook.

Did not take long to figure out that about every 45 mins a small split and a handful of lump would keep the cooker happy.

Here are a few pics. Thanks everyone for your help getting me off on the right foot!

thanks thanks thanks

on the baffle, if you are talking about the foil, what that is, is 2 foil cookie sheets covered with more foil.

I put those there to keep drippings off my tuning plates. I have 1/4" thick tuning plates that run most of the length of the pit that I can adjust the spacing on

BattBurner, what did you use to adhere the oven gasket to the smoker door? I have done that mod to my OJ using high temp fireplace caulk but it keeps coming off after a smoke or two.

Good looking ribs. I've done many briskets, butts, and ribs on my OK Joe over the years - it is an excellent relatively inexpensive stick burner. Sounds like your fuel use is about what I use, and it sounds like you've already got the temperature maintenance down! Took me a number of smokes to learn that on mine . . . .

Good job man, you're on your way.
