Oaklahoma joe

[toneeydee]

Hey guys,

Just picked up an oaklahoma joe from Wally World for 198 bucks. Upgrading from a gasser for the more hands on experience.


What would you guys suggest to mod first before My first smoke in it. (May be a few days due to the antarctic NE PA temperatures and 2 plus feet of snow lol)

Thanks in advance

Nice score!  Stay safe with that blizzard heading your way.

Sounds like a great price for that smoker.

I know there are a lot of mods that the guys do to them, but since I don't have one, I really don't know which ones are the most important.

Here's a link to some mods.

I would throw it away and go back to the gasser.

The Oaklahoma Joes put out some decent Q. There is a slight learning curve, but once you figure it out they aren't that hard to use.

Before you get to carried away with mods do a few easy cooks like chicken. Then decide what mods you want to try.

Not really a mod, just something you will want.  A good fire basket would be my first step.

After that, I would do a couple of dry runs with a wired therm toward each end of the grate.

Then you should have ideas of what you do or do not need for mods.

Good luck and good smoking.
