My wife bought this smoker for me several months ago. This was the first real smoker I have had. I fired this thing up a couple of weekends ago and did a brisket. I was used to my other small one so It took longer to smoke than I was used to. I have a lot to learn as far as regulating the damper and the smoke stack but overall I loved it. It is well made. I am doing some ribs today so we will see how this goes.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I purchased this last summer, and its the best smoker I have found for the price. Easy to maintain heat through out. This is not one of the cheaper made models like the other brands put out.

Works well. The lid should fit tighter to prevent smoke from coming out other than the smoke stack. A seal of some sort should be added to the lid. With the Dual Temp gauges there is a 40 degree difference from the fire box to the other end of the smoker.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I love my Oklahoma Joe offset smoker. Its taken my bbq to a much higher level. I can now produce tender, juicy Beef Briskets and Pulled Pork complete with smoke rings that rival what you see on TV. Its a sturdy unit and if you take care of it properly, oil it with Olive Oil and keep it covered, it will last quite a few years. There may be more expensive offset smokers available, but at this price point, the Oklahoma Joe is tough to beat..

# 1 I have had this about a year now ,and I just don't like it ,I had six 5lb pork butts on for 13 hours ,with oak ,hickory logs and kingsford charcoal ,the meat was super rare and had to finish in oven.I have been smoking meat on a smaller brinkman for over 20 years. #2 my next complaint is the first time I used it the paint on the fire box burned off now it will rust faster ,#3 takes a ton of wood to keep temp @220 for 10 hours.I THINK I MAY SELL IT .
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
