It’s an old Oklahoma Joe’s commercial smoker, so it has the tuning plate. Unfortunately one side is still generally about 50 to 70° hotter than the other although it gets better as the meat gets hot. It’s more of a pain just to keep rotating the meat for the first several hours

By tuning plate, I'm assuming you mean the pull bar I can pull in or out that shuts to hole to the firebox lower end? This smoker also has a large tube that runs the length of the smoker. The tube has holes that gradually get larger as they go away from the firebox, thus, in theory, having more heat go to the farther end. I've been using this thing to feed the masses of people at our comps for years but never use it for meat we turn in because
1. it really smokes the meat more than I prefer 2. rotating meat on a hot smoker is a pain in the ass |

Smoked a couple filets on the RecTec at 180 until the filets were to 130. Then cranked the RT and seared at 550. Good stuff.

Got bored cooking on my gas grill and got myself an early Father's Day present.
Now if it would just stop ****ing raining for a few minutes I might get to break it out this weekend. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Did you run out of money after buying the performer and had to start drinking Busch Light?

Smoking some pork belly tomorrow . I haven't decided if I'm doing burnt ends or just plain smoked pork belly.

Looking at the weather I think I can do my brisket this weekend. Might rain for part of the smoke but I think I can get it done.
