    Seasoning Oklahoma Joe's Highland Reverse Flow Smoker

    Gaps in firebox = heat escaping (an already thin smoker) Gaps in FB & CC = difficult to maintain constant temp But ultimately Ive cooked on COS for years never modded, without good thermos for years and produced good results. This is my first time using a high end COS with mods and an amazing...

    Seasoning Oklahoma Joe's Highland Reverse Flow Smoker

    I totally agree. After all the COS smokers I have owned over the years, it is inevitable. Get out the wire drill attachment and go to town. I am trying to get the same brand of paint used by Lone Star Grillz and a few other OS makers. (See attached Spec Sheet) and fix my current run in with...

    Probe Port Barbecue Smoker Thermometer Stainless Steel @ Amazon: http://a.co/hZ5fA9c I did buy others that looked just like it for half the price (and you get 3) but they werent made as well and I never found the exact match (size needed for 6 probes wires) to this one. So I took the $18 hit...

    Fireboard ATC function

    Ill try and post it later today, I found this one on their website. Do you want specific pictures? Im not sure that connector (link) will work, but I guess it is worth a try. From my understanding, the Drive cable has electronics built into the head that help to regulate fan speed. I could be...

    Seasoning Oklahoma Joe's Highland Reverse Flow Smoker

    Ill be running my 6 probe wires (Fireboard) through this probe port. When you tighten the end cap a plastic unit inside tightens making it more smoke tight. Ive heard the plastic insert deforms after a number of cooks at higher temps, but is easily replaced with high temp tape.

    Woot! Woot! New Minion Bars

    @Rusty Long - I have not. Shoot, I havent even used these yet. BUT, I have the convenience of having a nice ATC that would/should keep it from getting too hot. Over the next few weeks I will be playing with different set ups and I will report back. @SonnyE - LOL (just for you....)

    Fireboard ATC function

    Ive only used mine twice so far. Those are the sessions you see, and I love mine already. My set up is an OK Joe Factory RF Long Horn. The 20 cfm is more than enough. I ran from 10:24a to 3:17p and the fan never went above 17% once the fire was good. (Fan power output on right, temperature on...

    Fireboard ATC function

    Hi bvander! If you want to control a fan of any given size, yes the drive cable is required (to my knowledge). I too own a Fireboard and used it for the first time two weeks ago. I purchased the Fireboard with 6 meat thermos, 2 ambient thermos, the drive cable and their fan. Here is my...

    Woot! Woot! New Minion Bars

    So my OKJ RF (factory) came with a basket for wood/charcoal (dimensions 13 x 13.5 x 9). After seeing Lava Lock minion bars I was out to buy a pair. But upon reading specs I realized they were much to small for my basket. So I spoke to the guys in the sheet metal shop where I work. I gave them...

    Seasoning Oklahoma Joe's Highland Reverse Flow Smoker

    River - I concur, it is about the food coming off. But having owned any number of COS over the past decade and a half, I am trying to be more mindful and take better care of this one. All my past ones have been under the $200 range, this one set me back $500 without the mods or the ATC. I dont...

    Seasoning Oklahoma Joe's Highland Reverse Flow Smoker

    I guess I meant left to right... I consider the front of my smoker nearest to the FB and the back furthest from FB. I could have been more articulate. Atomic - The new FB will peel I am sure, but it allows me the chance to take apart the first one and refinish it better than from the factory...

    Seasoning Oklahoma Joe's Highland Reverse Flow Smoker

    Wasi, how are your temps from front to back? I thought mine would be less than 10 degrees, but are more like 20 degrees.

    Seasoning Oklahoma Joe's Highland Reverse Flow Smoker

    Greeting everyone... a little late to this thread. I too recently bought a factory OKJ RF Longhorn. I put it together on Friday, seasoned for 6 hours at 240 degrees on Saturday (see attachment 1). I used PAM grilling spray and Wesson veggie oil on the inside, and veggie oil on the outside. I...

    Greetings from Cali...

    Just wanted to say hello to everyone... look forward to being a part of the forum. Been grilling for over 25 years, smoking just over 15. Learned most from my pops, and a bunch from reading various books. And sad to say, never thought about joining a forum for grilling/smoking until just this...
