Why no new videos? And whats the video editing program you use?

[@theredquest1247]

Been busy with work and storm cleanup. I use Corel Video Studio for the edits and Sonicfire Pro6 for music editing

Hi im knew to kamado joe smoking, Do I need to do a pre prep burn, before cooking in my kamado joe classic,

[@theredquest1247]

What I would suggest is cooking a pork butt in it to start. A pit will get seasoned with animal fats not the smoke itself. Get you a fire going up to about 250 and not over 275. Slow cook a pork butt and your pit will be good to go. Cook the pork king and slow to an internal temperature of 203 and you will have a great first meal off the pit

Also the fat can be a HUGE fire trap!
