Great Cooker but Poor Fitting Lid

This is a great cooker and I love it. It didn't take me long to get the hang of using a slow cooker. I thought initially it might be a big deal getting temperatures right but it really has been very easy, except maybe in wind.
The build quality overall is big, bold, heavy and old fashioned which is great and exactly what I want.
The only issue is the poor fit of the lid on the cooking area. The gaps of 3mm or more cannot be covered with a gasket to seal it.
I think it is just laziness in manufacture. I don't expect a precision fit but I think the fit is poor enough to call OJ out on this. I just have to accept that this does compromise performance, especially in wind. I can live with it.
I love the cooker but I think OJ can easily remedy this if they choose to.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Whats there to say ? The best smoker for the money, nothing compares to the quality & usability of these smokers..i have owned at least a dozen oklahoma joes offset smokers, also approximately half dozen oklahoma joes bronco & bronco pros...i used them everyday at my bbq shop and when i retired i used them at home...i would smoke 100's of lbs of meat every weekend.. also the customer service is the best in the world...i will continue to purchase them as long i can cook !

I just finished putting it together. It was simple and straightforward. Nothing damaged or missing. Instructions were good. I did put a gasket between the halves of the firebox because without it there was not a perfect fit all the way around. What stands out to me the most so far is the height. The cooking surface is only 30” off the ground. The chargriller it is replacing is 35”. Check all the measurements to make sure it suits you. I have googled this everyday I can think of but have found no mention or justification for the low height.

Not worth the money

Put it together yesterday. Did a trail run on it and the paint on the fire box bubbled and flaked off in big chunk. The lid for the smoker is not seated correctly. It has a 1/8 gap on one side so it lets smoke out. It has poor welds on it. Didn’t come with a grease catch can but has a spot to hang one. I have a Longhorn Combo smoker/grill. Had it for 4 years and never has the paint bubbled or flaked off.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I've been looking for a grill for a long time. I became aware of Oklahoma's Joe on the Internet and searched for a while here in Mexico - and found it. I've never unpacked anything in my life and I knew it was forever. Now yes. An amazing quality. Many thanks from a German grill and smoker fan.

This was my first smoker for the backyard and it has been an absolute champ. The smoke flavor is amazing without being overpowering. The included firebox makes fire management extremely easy. Keep it oiled occasionally, and covered between cooks and it will be problem free.
