Welcome to the Forum

Welcome Sir! Very helpful forum.

What smoker do you have or you looking to purchase?

Welcome!

I picked up the Oklahoma Joes Highland at Lowe's on sale for $199...i was gona get that model anyways but that deal made me jump on it ASAP! Just finished up some mods and seasoned it...just waiting on the tuning plate to show up and it's time to smoke! I sealed outside seems with the heat silicone and got the lava lock with gaskets for the doors...and added another guage.seems like for my first cook the pork butt would be good to start with...im all ears on any info or suggestions guys! Happy smoking!

sweet deal! Seems like you got everything under control. Make sure you post pics of your first smoke

Howdy Neighbor! Wife and I went by and saw the Lavender Mine one time years back. Big honkin hole there... You get to drive any of those big old Tonka Trucks they haul the ore around in?

I actually work at a crusher near Kearny,Az.my dad just retired a couple years ago from the open pit in kearny.he would drive them huge haul trucks...pretty crazy how much ore they can haul!
