My name is Russ I'm from Cedar Rapids,IA in the good old USA. I just bought a OK Joe Highlander. I'very reading about some of the mods to this smoker. Thought it was a cool form. Let's face it I've been camping on for awhile so I thought I should join. So far I like that we all share a common...

Finally joined but have been using this forum for some time for information. I have been smoking for 5 years, started out with a WSM and progressed. I now have a Weber performer, a Green Mountain Pellet cooker, Weber smokey Mountain, a Oklahoma Joe offset, and a gasser. Got rid of my electric...

Hey Jimmy  how ya been .. ya its hard to beat the set it and forget it MBES   walk around with your remote and make adjustments :)   I just wanted something bigger to do whole briskets and stuff like that  and it was tight in the MBES...  I have done 4 butts in it before  but it was a mess with...

Still trying to decide between the Brinkmann Trailmaster LE and this OK Joe Longhorn...any fresh perspectives there would be appreciated.  If I do go with the OK Joe Longhorn I was wondering if you could clarify a few details on the mods I have been reading about: Did you purchase the 16"...

So I've been looking to switch from my very small electric smoker to a charcoal smoker. I was thinking of a Brinkmann or OK Joe smoker. But after looking at several videos about the old country wrangler I'm thinking of getting that. Seems like a nice sized smoker for what I like and want to...

I lost all my notes when I changed phones on how I smoked beef brisket and I'm trying to remember all the steps I did. I'm smoking the brisket tomorrow. I do remember the last time I did one of these it was freaking AWESOME!!! Ok, this is what I'm going to do: 14lb Angus packer brisketcut it...

In Aaron's video he only added a thermometer.  That's the smoker he uses for his web series.  

OK, so after finally getting through all of the the mods I wanted to complete including the convection plate, charcoal basket, dual grate-level thermometers, welded firebox halves, RTV for firebox seal, chimney drop with door seals and then waiting for all of my cooking supplies to arrive I was...

Photos of my OK Joe Longhorn with some modifications.

lots of threads on mods here for the OK Joe when I had mine I just made tuning plates that laid across the bottom of the cook chamber no need to buy something for that kind of money when its easy enough to make your own I have seen people use cookie sheets for baffles for instance click this...

I was in a similar situation last year. Wanted to upgrade from my flimsy offset and spent a lot of time debating between a WSM or a new offset. Something to consider is how much time you want to spend with your smoker. WSM's have a good reputation of being set-and-forget once you learn how to...

Good Morning Everyone!  I come to the community today looking for advice on a new smoker.  For the past couple months I've been doing research on here and through the web on a charcoal smoker that is economically friendly to me.  I've narrowed it down to just 2 smokers, both are near the same...

I was told I should come by and introduce myself. About Me Hi, I'm Jake from Dallas, TX, and I have been smoking on my OK Joe for about a year now. When I first got my OK Joe I went through and did some basic mods: 1. Extended exhaust vent to grill level 2. Purchased a convection/baffle...

There are so many of these OK Joe mods threads that I hesitate to make another BUT I believe I have something new to add which can make a tremendous benefit to our cookers. I like so many needed a smoker that wasn't going to cost $1000 or more. So in looking for the best of the cheap (on a $500...

There is a lot of good info on this site. I am trying out my new OK Joe Highlander.  It seems with mods on the OK Joe's Highlander most everyone curtails the heat from the FB to SC. When I tried that, it choked the fire and kept the temp too low. I only blocked it half way, with metal angled...

I can't understand why these smoker manufacturers don't design their smokers already tuned for smoking.  Maybe I am missing something, but I have yet to see the point of producing smokers that you have to modify to do the job. I have just assembled my OK Joe Highland and made my modifications. ...

Ok don't know where to put this, so here we go.  I have an Oklahoma Joe Highlander, did all the mods sealed the firebox etc...two things I need to point out, the temp probe that came with it on the lid was way off, by 50 60 degrees higher then at grate level...no surprise everyone knows this...

You won't be sorry and congrats! Welcome to the wonderful world of stick burning. First thing you do while seasoning it is to note the smoke leak points. It will leak some and you'll want to address that soon as you can. The next mod would be to get a heat baffle plate. If you know any...

And you can throw your jabs, left hooks, and jibes at me. I wear big boy clothes and don't cry over spilt milk, although I have shed a tear or two over spilled beer and other tasty beverages.  I've been visiting Smoking Meat Forums for several years.. in fact, probably all nine  years you've...
