Still working great

Bought my OJ off set last year. Smoked chickens, pork shoulders perfectly but my favorite is smoked fish. Everyone likely has their approach but I can keep the smoker at 225-250 very easily for fish. No mechanical or functional problems at all….would highly recommend.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Purchased a few months ago. The metal wasn't as thick as I had hoped for. I've added almost two hundred dollars in upgrades. It still doesn't heat to where I'd like but quite a bit better. I added latches for the lid,sealant all around,a gasket for the lid,replacement for the flimsy baffle,second temp gauge and a hole with grommet for the probes. After upgrading I can say it holds temp well and the concept works for putting smoke and heat across whatever you're cooking. Like others stated the paint peels off the smokebox and it didn't require that much heat to do so. It's pretty bad for what you pay it doesn't come with a grease catch/pail. It does come with cooking grates,charcoal grates and the box for the firebox.
It's a great smoker with nice features. Not the easiest to convert to charcoal cooking.

Not as good as the original

I had a be of the original Oklahoma Joes Smokers back in the 90’s before they sold out. It had a thick gauge of steel. This new one isn’t as high quality as the original was. They also share the grate that connects the legs to each other which I had on my Char Broil that rusted quickly. They also bolt the firebox on the main chamber. The original was welded if I recall This new one needs seals as the old one didn’t so much. That said the good is the reverse flow does work well. More even temps through out (like 10 degrees difference) also the crate for the firewood is and works exceptionally well. I give two stars because the quality of the build itself is lacking but the smoker does work well.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

i bought this after having several "tin" smokers. this will never rust out in my lifetime. heavy construction, wind doesnt seem to bother it. i had to use a wind break with my old ones. if i would have bought this years ago i would be ahead several hundred dollars. am looking forward to trying it mid dec. cold in iowa.

Oklahoma Joes is just not what it once was... :-(

Having bought the smoker/grill combo many years ago, I was excited to have a new smoker. Yet, quality is just not there anymore. The fire box is a joke, thin, bolt together, and a slide out tray with little vent hole. The wooden handle on the fire box gets very hot during the cook. The smoke chamber has large gaps I have to fill with foil to keep tons of smoke leaking.

Great smoke flavor

I bought mine 2 moths ago I’ve smoked a wide range of meats. I bought a 2nd thermometer to get a better reading on the inside temperature. The left side runs 25-50 degrees warmer than the right side no matter what adjustments I make. I consider a professional Chef I’ve worked in a restaurant for many years. I always put my briskets & pork butts on the right side where I keep it at 225• but I get frustrated with the left side being 275* this can be solved with a better designed lower pans with proper holes. I’ve got a degree in mechanical engineering I’ve worked on race teams I understand what fine adjustments can make. Having larger hole on the right pan would solve this easily.

Put Smoker together seasoned inside per instructions. When I actually used it for the first time the paint bubbled on the side box. I have had other brands of smokers over the years and never had that happen.
