$99 at Home Depot. They had a stack of the copper OTG's marked down. Guess it wasn't a very popular color...??

Does anyone make a one-piece cast iron grate for the SJ?

I'm currently building a yakiniku (or Korean BBQ) table out of an old steel patio table and one of my Smokey Joes. I'm using the SJP only as a template for now. I will be using my standard SJ with bottom vent for the table. Somewhat hard to tell but there is a 1.5" tall steel collar ring...

My daughter and her husband are inviting a few people over for the Mayweather-Alvarez fight Saturday night and they've asked me to BBQ for the crowd again. So I picked up 15 lbs of wings and 4 racks of baby backs which should be plenty, plus they'll have all kinds of sides. Their 22" kettle...

Miguel M (forum member here) and his wife Brenda (my step-daughter) hosted a small get together at their home yesterday for the Fourth and also asked me to bring my yakitori grill as well along with my swimming trunks. Everything turned out perfect. Anyway, here are some random photos from...

My step-daughter who owns a hair salon threw a small party for her employees at her home and I was asked to do some ribs and yakitori in her back yard. And man, was it hot in the valley!......reminding me of the reason I moved out of the valley and into the city just 20 miles away many years...

We had family and friends over for early dinner on Memorial Day so earlier I put on some St. Louis spares and chicken on the UDS, high heat. I put the chicken on about half way during the sparerib cook so they would finish at the same time. And when people started arriving I fired up my new...

Several weeks ago Vons Market had 32oz jars of orange marmalade on special for $1.69 ea (reg $3.69) so I picked up a dozen jars knowing exactly what I needed them for......Orange Marmalade Sriracha Hot Wings. I saw Larry W post this recipe here about 3 years ago and this has been one of my...

Saturday I picked up a couple of slabs St.Louis spares and smoked them on my Midi-WSM. The Midi uses a 16-gallon drum on the Smokey Joe instead of the tamale pot. I only used dry rub, hung the ribs in the smoker at 300°F for roughly 3.5 hours. They came out nice with a good bite to them, just...

I bought some Foster Farms wings yesterday for $1.48/lb at Ralphs market, cheapest I've seen. At that price I bought about 25 lbs worth so I'll have some on hand for a few cooks. Last night I cooked about 4 lbs worth in the mini-wsm, 2 racks, and no diffuser. Towards the end of the cook I...

Sunday evening flanken cut short ribs grilled on the Smokey Joe... I marinated the short ribs overnight with this Flanken cut short ribs with marinade Grilling some asparagus Short Ribs on the Smokey Joe Thanks for looking!

We had yakitori for dinner last night. Yakitori is technically skewered grilled chicken but the term is generically used to include other bite sized grilled items besides chicken. Thanks for looking! The yakitori platter included thighs & green onions, bacon asparagus, gizzards, wings, and...

I enjoy using my cast iron hibachi for doing burgers. I normally pick up the cheapest, high fat content ground beef, ball them, crush them once with a flat dish, season with S&P, and slap them on the screaming hot grate.

After trying out both the Silver and the Gold models on my mini-wsm set up over several cooks I think I prefer the Silver with the single vent at the bottom. The tin can mod over the vent works just fine now. I like the simple, single handle vent control. Also, the coals seem to burn more...

I did a boneless rib roast on the mini-wsm last night. It was a tiny roast at about 2.5 lbs. Simple S&P and EVOO. The single chunk of hickory I used was a bit much for my taste though, otherwise fine. I ran the cooker at 275°F, and no diffuser. Served with roasted tomatoes, zucchini, and...

A few days ago as my first cook I did a whole chicken on my new mini-wsm and noticed that the juices, instead of dripping straight down, were running along the wired grates all the way to the outer edge of the grate and dripping down into the SJ kettle, missing the drip pan placed near the...

Here's my version of the mini. I figured if my little Cobb Grill/Smoker can produce decent smokes with its main grate only an inch above the diffuser why can't I do the same with my mini's lower grate.....thus, the shorter smoker body. Upper grate is 4" below the lip. I have not yet...

After receiving a few requests asking for additional leg detail on my Smokey Joe 16 gallon UDS build I decided to post this thread with more info on the leg mod I made on the Smokey Joe. I took a 48" X 1" X 1/8" piece of aluminum bar stock which I purchased from Home Depot and cut it into three...

I picked up a new 15 gallon, unlined, open-top drum the other day. This smoker body will be used mostly to hang meat, with a single threaded stainless steel rod going across the top of the drum where ribs, chicken, and whatever will hang off of. I'll be able to easily hang up to 4 full slabs...

How far up is the lip of the water bowl from the top of the charcoal ring on a 22.5 WSM? Thanks!
