Hey all,

New forum member, here.  I've been smoking on a WSM for the last 12 or so years (mostly ribs, with some brisket and pork butts), and have had great results, although there's always more to learn.

I read Aaron Franklin's book and started getting the itch to try stick burning.  And I am starting to need more cooking capacity that the old 18" WSM has. 

So, I've been on the lookout for a used stick burner and just got a used OKJ Highlander for $175 to play with and learn on.  The guy had it for around a year, cooked on it a few times, and then got a Traeger pellet burner.  He kept it under a cover, so the smoker looks brand new from the outside.  A little soot on the inside, but you can still see most of the metal walls on the inside.

I'm about to get its seams welded by a welder who lives down the street.  I'll have him make me a baffle and an expanded metal charcoal basket, too.

Once the mods are done, I'm looking forward to firing it up.
