When I started to build the smoker, I noticed there were big gaps in the firebox and where the box connects to the Main Chamber. I paused, ordered some high heat gasket and sealant. The high heat supplies came in and construction resumed. When I seasoned, paint came off the firebox, and it's rusted. I bought some high heat paint to repaint the fire box. The first smoke went fine. The metal is fairly thin and doesn't hold too much heat.
Overall, I'm pretty disappointed with the quality of this product. The smoker works, but I will probably not buy another when this one dies.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This was easy to put together, if you have another person which it states in the instructions. But for the cost of this it should have come with a few accessories..such as grease drip bucket and gasket seal kit. When I unboxed it my charcoal box was broken at the solder points in the corner. Other than that Awsome!

After years of smoking with an electric smoker (we lived in an apartment) we now have a house with a yard. And I was able to get the Longhorn Reverse Flow about 9 months ago. After a lot of research, I decided offset was the way I wanted to go and reverse flow made the most sense. Research paid off!! I love this beast. Many of the complaints you read about are factually true: the firebox is a little saggy. The paint burns off after the first couple of cooks. It takes time and effort to perfect the process and the results. But t I don’t look at these things as negative. It’s all part of the journey. If I wanted an easy bake oven, I would have kept my electric or bought a pellet smoker. With each cook, my technique improves. And the food is ALWAYS AMAZING! I assembled it by myself in 95 degree Florida summer heat. That was fun! It had some leaks during the first burn but they all sealed up in time. I continually season areas where paint has burned away with spray canola oil. It’s resulted in a rust-free surface. Simply put: the Longhorn Reverse Flow absolutely rocks!

Everything went together great except the bottom rack wouldn’t line up to the holes for the bolts. I’m pretty sure one of the legs is bent and threw off the alignment. Other than that, it works great.

I have cooked on it so far 2 times the second time I have learned how to control the temp better, I knew it was going to be a learning curve after having the 2 old offsets I had. But I can see this one being as familiar as those were. For the price I have nothing negative to say about it.

the grill is great, cooks everything perfectly but i think for the price you pay it should include an ash catching tray in the bottum so that the ashes and meat juice doesnt just sit and rot away the bottum of the grill. my father has this same grill and had someone make him a homemade ash holder and i had to make my own as well. also i ordered the grill and then like a week later there was a deal you were running that said "order a new grill and get the grill cover for free". is there any way i could get that?

The smoker is amazing and the ability to use it as a grill on the smaller side is awesome also. Only complaint is when they shipped it the nut and bolt package was broke open and stuff all over inside the box, and the O.J. Logo for front door was broke. But customer service took care of it right away and shipped another one for me
I would recommend this to a friend!

I just bought the Longhorn reverse flow on September 29,2022 and per instruction I seasoned the grill with a small bed of coals and one split wood. The paint on the box immediately started ro bubble up and come off. Smokes leaks out of everywhere even got the sealer tape band it made a little difference but still leaks smoke. Not very happy with product, I thought this would be last grill/smoker because of reputation but I don't know now..
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
