    OK Joe - cant get thin blue smoke

    So my new problem is that I cant get the desired smoke out of my OKJ. When ever I close the FB lid, the goes out within 20 seconds and I get the heavy white billowing smoke from the stack. I know this means the fire is burning inefficiently, But I dont know what to do. Leave the side door open...

I...

    Question about an OK Joe Highlander

    So I was at my local Wally-World the other day and I happened to notice that they had the OKJ Highlander in stock. This looks like the smoker that I will be purchasing some day as it has the right balance of size and affordability. I've seen some mods for OKJ's on here so I understand that it'll...

    Looking for a new smoker feedback please

    OK Joe Highland does not need any mods to cook good BBQ. Tunning plates, convection plates are a nice addition. Do not lower the stack. Later, Doug

    Horizon Classic 16" Smoker Review

    Harley20 I looked at both the OK Joe and the Horizon and got the Horizon. The Horizon is fully welded construction and 1/4 inch steel. So as soon as you get it there are really not many mods you need to do with it. The OK Joe while a great value smoker will require many mods to get it where the...
