Smoked my first cook on the Oklahoma Joes Lonhorn last night. Cooked 1 whole chicken and some 1/2" thick pork chops. Started out at 250* and maintained that like a champ. The wife was complaining about being hungry so I put switched the pork chops over to the fire box...what a mistake as i let them go too long and dried them out! I then cranked the heat up to around 300 to finish the chicken. I don't remember how long it took to cook the entire thing. Either way, here is my first attempt. Not a whole lot of good smoke flavor as I didn't want to overpower it on my first attempt.
I do have a question. I don't know if anyone is familiar with this smoker, but I had a rather large fire going with lump charcoal and some wood chunks mixed in to maintain temp...I was wondering if it would be better to fire this with wood rather than coal? I do have to keep in mind that it was in the 20's last night when I was doing it, just curious though.
