Offset redemption!!!

I posted here not long ago about how my first time using an offset was terrible and I ruined way too much food.
Well yesterday I gave it another go.

You all gave me so many tips and tricks and man did it make the difference thank you!!

I added a grate into my fire box so ash could fall away and I could remove it. I kept the door to intake open the whole time and never closed down the exhaust.

This is not too long into the smoke but had a few too many barley pops while I was tending the smoker and wasn’t thinking about a final picture.

Ultimately I just wanted to say you all rule and thank you for the encouragement to keep at it on an offset.

First attempt on an offset was a disaster

Got an Oklahoma Joe given to me and even though I have a Traeger. I decided to give it a go on the Joe. Absolutely ruined 6 pounds of beef spare ribs and 5 of pork ribs. Didn’t even get to them to be fully cooked when I realized I was.

I’ve been looking up stuff online on how to get a good clean smoke instead of the dense white creosote filled shtuff I had. You couldn’t even take a bite it was so bitter and chemical tasting. Wasted about 100 bucks in meat and stuff for seasoning and what not.

Any tips on how to set up the fire box in a Joe and how to maintain the heat for a long smoke would be appreciated!
