Jim is selling his Oklahoma Joe! If you mention that you’re a fan of Tortuga BBQ, you can get it for $150. I’m listing it now for $200, so act fast!
Pick up only in Hainesport NJ

Has some modifications, including heat plate, gasket around the cooker, latches to keep the lid secure.

Has some rust but that comes off easily. Just oil the smoker and let dry.

Haven’t done these in awhile. Lollipop chicken! These were definitely my best batch to date. The glaze had the perfect sweet heat flavor. The kids couldn’t get enough!

Jim’s at it again. Making some pulled pork. Apparently enough for an army. So some neighborhood friends got some too. Keep on keeping on!

Here’s pitmaster Jim making pork belly burnt ends. Cube em, hit em with a good rub, and let them smoke for a few hours until tender. Then add some brown sugar, honey, hot sauce, and butter. Cover and put back on the smoker for a couple of hours. Remove, add a glaze, put back on the smoker to caramelize and enjoy!
If there’s leftovers, chop em up and make pork belly tacos with mango!
