oklahoma joe's smoker?

markg said:

Hi all, long time member but seldom post. I'm looking to upgrade my smoker (currently use a charbroil barrel type) and noticed that the box stores are now selling the "oklahoma joe" model for approx $425. I've looked at comparable models such as horizon and they are twice that.

Basically I'm looking to see if this is a decent model or will it be comparable to the charbroil I use now? Am I better off spending the $800+ for a horizon? I did some serches and found a few topics about oklahoma joes but I'm not sure if they are for the newer models or old ones.

Thanks,

Can anyone recommend a mid level unit that is better than the oklahoma joe but less expensive than the higher end models listed in this thread? Something around $800 that doesn't need as much mod'ing?

Take a look at the Horizon 16. Made by the people who designed and produced the original Oklahoma Joe before they sold to Charbroiler

Thanks. That would be what I am interested in. I am assuming shipping is a couple $100? So the bottom line has to be over $1000.
