Don't think of it as a smoke chamber. It's a cooking chamber. You're cooking with fire, not smoke. The smoke is a by product of the fire. Try to keep the smoke to a minimum by having a clean burning fire. That will give you the THIN blue smoke. Just mind your temps . Happy cooking.

Howdy ya'll! Bill Mac here from just south of Fort Worth, Tejas. Just picked up my new Oklahoma Joe's Highland model today from Wally World. They have it for less than three bills right now, got it assembled and loaded for free, and since my Wife's a 19+ year employee, got 10% of to boot. Went...

Last year, I purchased my OK Joe Longhorn after looking at several options.  It was replacing my NBBD to give me a bit more cook area.  I've been satisfied with the way it worked, but wanted to improve it in some way. I've read a lot about different modifications folks have done to improve the...

3.8LB RIB EYE & RUSSET TATERS Well, sadly, this is my last smoke for a few days, until I'm off work next weekend. However, I saved a nice one to end this past two days of fun and learning on the WSM and the new (to me) charcoal, Embers. I probably could have lived without the added challenge of...

Welcome Neighbor!! I'm in Phelan :) I'm not familiar with your smoker but it looks like a lot of folks around here have them. I'm sure they will chime in in a bit. Meanwhile I found a thread on a few mods some folks are doing. Here's one...

My wife and I had several friends come visit for the Super Bowl, so I decided to throw a couple butts on my new OK Joe Longhorn.  I had done several before on my old propane smoker, but this was my first real cook on the offset. I did a lot of research on here about mods to make the smoker run...

First, welcome to our family of smoking crazies! Looks like a mighty fine bunch of grub.  I bet it tasted great! I've had an OK Joe Longhorn for a couple of years.  It worked great, but I still did a few mods on it to help it along.  My next smoke will be this Saturday: four slabs of pork...

the majority of the stuff for the mods I have already, and am going to buy thermometers regardless of what I buy. so far char griller in the lead. the ok joe is made by char griller for walmart.. wonder if the quality is worse than the original ok joe stuff?

nice mods I did the same ones to my OK Joe , except the extra thermo's  I still have the one it came with on the top left but I have two on the inside of my CB. does it really help having four? and what is the temp difference from  top to bottom?

Update: a bit more experience with Embers this evening...and my thoughts as I worked through somewhat of a challenge, shooting for a hot & fast smoke on a somewhat cold, but calm afternoon. It took a bit of trial and error, and I decided to just pour more hot coals to the fire, twice. Once I got...

My name is Edward, I bought my wife a new smoker for Christmas, (she said she wanted to try it) so I started looking, and I fell in love with the Oklahoma Joes t Lowe's. Since I am originally from Oklahoma, (Claremore) the Oklahoma caught my eye. Once I started really looking at it, I could not...

 Ok, 1 hour into this and all is well. I am pretty excited to be able to control the temp like this. The bricks are doing great. Holding around 250 deg and just adding a few pcs of pecan chunk and then a few lumps of charcoal. I think I have the air flow right where it should be now. I have...

If your plenty fine with few mods and want cheap offset id go with ok Joe highland. However I thought price is 269. Well heres the math, the thing is roughly 140dollars of raw steel 60 to 150 in powdercot charge, plus labor, and hardware. This is an extremely good price for one that will last ...

Hello just wanted to say hi and give little background, my name is justin (moose22dog) I live in bunn,nc about 40 mins east of Raleigh (via Pittsburgh,pa). I've been backyard smoking for about 10 years now, and still learning new tricks of the trade. Don't do any comps or commercial stuff, just...

I grew up watching my father grill on several different rigs, we finally settled on a big Weber. But only grilling, never smoking. Then they got a Little Chief electric smoker, did a few rounds of fish but it never caught on with us. (I should add that my mother HATED the smell of woodsmoke...

I've been lurking a short while doing some research and decided this could be a good home for me. I've been grilling since I was a teenager but back then my parents wanted everything well done - not that I knew any better at the time.  Years later, I began to appreciate how much better properly...

it is 269, but I get a discount of $40 (employee fam mamber could buy it for me)

Hey everyone!!! I finally pulled the trigger and grabbed the last available WSM 18 to be found locally...regular $299 price, with the premium cover...they never go on sale around here, so I was willing to pay that for a new rig and buy locally. I was getting itchy about wanting to smoke turkeys...

I was looking at Lowes. They had both the Highland, and the Longhorn sitting next to each other. There is a bit less than a foot difference from what I see. The metal is identical. I went with the Highland...mainly because I do not have a truck to haul the Longhorn, and I hate asking friends for...
