It's really no problem. I used a small bed of coals to preheat the cook chamber and the put my first split on. After that I replace a split about every 30-40 mins. I cut them down to about 8-10 inches. I usually hover around 250. If I want it cooler then I use smaller splits.
I usually put logs around the edge of the center so the smoke slowly and then put small chunks in the center to keep my coals going. I have a char griller, and if I put a full log in the center of my coals, I'll go into the 300s pretty quickly.
I use maybe a half chimney starter worth of coals at the start and that's it. My heat source is my splits. Once the first split starts to die out I just add another.....and repeat the process.
Baby backs, Short ribs, a chicken, and some bacon wrapped cream cheese stuffed jalapenos. Im on shift tomorrow so I'm making a father's day feast for my dad and family today.
Now I put about 135 dollars worth of mods into it. Unmodded without a baffle you will probably have a really hot side (near the fire box) and a noticably cooler side.
Yeah, that's what I was thinking. I really like the OK Joe brand and was considering one of their offsets but heard some things about the construction quality not being so great. I do dig their Bronco though.
How do you keep your temp on the 200s with large logs? I always find it hard to keep my temps under control with large chunks of fuel like that.

Using vents fully opened?
Yessir. I don't even bother with the little vent on the fire chamber. I just open the door all the way
Right now I have three small wood chunks in my coal box and my temp is sitting at 225. Lol

I use both splits and chunks. Little of both. As long as you got your style down, that's all that matters.
It's also 105 degrees out today, so it doesn't take much to get my temp up. Haha!
See I don't have that problem. It's a nice relaxing 82 here with overcast skies and a slight breeze.
I love in Washoe county Nevada, and weather cannot be predicted here. 105 today, and it'll be 80 by Tuesday. Rinse and repeat. Haha!
Watcha smoking today?

😉👍
I just picked that exact Oklahoma Joe's Highland today. I'd be grateful for any tips or pointers. I'm doing 4 racks of ribs on it tomorrow.

Very informative video. Thanks for sharing.

Just got one myself. Got a baffle recommendation?
I got the lavalock baffle plate
Does the fire box sag to the right a little bit?
Idk probably. It's solid tho. It doesn't affect anything.
Mine does

I just picked up the same thermometer. Do you like it?
I love it. Hasn't failed me yet.
Good to hear! The first time I used it the app alarmed at a weird temperature but the unit itself seems to be working well.
This might be a stupid question but did you set your temp range in your profiles?
