Love it!!! Straight and simple enjoy the process stop bitching about every single thing and do your best!!! Not rocket science or competition bbq. I think you did great 👍

That's how I run my ok joe. I also have the 3x18 stack extension. I made a baffle out of the food grates that came with smoker. Works real good.

Outstanding. I haven’t had much luck with briskets on my masterbuilt. I think an OK Joe is in order.

@slaychild1 2 жыл бұрын

Fat Cap Up. So the juices saturate into the meat. Also, try running it at 220 degrees until the internal temp is 200 degrees. Also, close your firebox damper, I keep mine at 1/4 open on the firebox and a half-inch open on the chimney.

@mattfrye8956 2 жыл бұрын

I bet you have pretuatis amounts of white smoke with that method

@prevost8686 11 ай бұрын

Not even the best brisket cooks in Texas agree with fat cap up or down. Either way will produce a great brisket. Even the best cooked brisket will be somewhat overcooked on the thinnest end of flat. That’s why brisket restaurants serve the ends in beans instead of serving it in the slices. I still remember when nobody would buy the brisket in meat markets and it was sold for dog food producers. My how things have changed.

Love the fire box mods and the v shaped grates for the firebox. The ashes have gotta be much easier to handle with that. Great looking brisket, Paul! 🐄

@hardtruth2039 11 ай бұрын

Nice look’n brisket! Add a few fire brick in the bottom of your firebox to protect the bottom of the Firefox from burn through as well as acting as a heat sink. I have lined my cook chamber as well for a heat sink and to even out temps in the cook chamber. Helps with temp recovery after opening the lid.

@tawright915 3 ай бұрын

So, when I do this my temps are a lot higher. Is it because you have those pans catching the drippings that it's keeping the temps around 250-260? Or are you closing the damper on the stack some?

@charlesf4428 Жыл бұрын

With your firebox grates in a "V", isn't it hard to scoop out the ash build up during the cook?? Also, close your firebox door and open vent half way...will reduce your ash in the cook area.

you had one rib video from months back where you created a deflector plate (i assume foil-wrapped grates), but your other rib video and also this video you didn't use the deflector plate. i use a home-made deflector plate as well for my OKJ offset smoker, for brisket. but honestly i haven't seen any difference using it vs not using it. (edit - i should add that whether i use the deflector plate or not, i cook fat side up with point towards the fire box). ** i was curious what your experience is WITH and WITHOUT the deflector plate. great video, thanks!!

@phillipgrace8190 Жыл бұрын

Thank you for the video! I am thinking of purchasing an. OK Joe Highland, for primarily briskets and stuff like that that don't do well in my vertical smoker, which is worn out. My question is, what's the largest brisket you've done on the Highland? It's seemed to easily accommodate the 12 to 14 Lbs on the video. Do you feel it could accommodate a larger brisket?

Well done Paul!! I have my FIRST brisket going right now, on the FIRST cook on my Oklahoma Joe! Probably pretty risky cooking my first big brisket on the first cook on the OK Joe, but I feel very confident. It's not my first rodeo with smoking or BBQ. I appreciate you guidance on setting up the fire box in the V.

@paulsq_ Жыл бұрын

I’m glad this video was some use for you. Hope your first cook went well and your brisket turned out great. I find sometimes a long cook like this is best for a new pit cause you get to see and learn a lot about the pit more so then a short fast cook.

Bro, CLOSE the side door of the firebox😢

@paulsq_ Жыл бұрын

Unfortunately I have to leave the door open because I don’t get enough air flow through the door vent and the fire starts dying out when the door is fully closed with the vent wide open. The one downside to this stick burner is the small firebox it has.
