smokin okie No no I’m not upset at all that you posted your post, I just wanted to make sure that I did send you the video etc. thank you -Joe

What I have been told when they sold the business they sold all the 1/2" stock they had etc and when NB ran out of the 1/2" material that's when they started building them with 3/16" material and started bolting on the fireboxes. 128077127996

That's 1/4" all day long if it was 3/16" it would show 3/16" but it doesn't blow the photo up take a real good look 1/4" all day.

Thank you! I stand corrected I thought for sure my information was correct as it was from a friend of mine who's father worked for OKJ back in the day. Anyway thanks again for the information. Happy Smokin'

Joe Davidson sold the company to NB in 1998' then he wanted to get back into building them once again and started Horizon Backyard Smokers. Joe Davidson is a standup guy super friendly. When NB took over they started using the same steel as it was left when Joe sold the company but, soon...

Hello, you have a early 90's original OKJ-KD Smoker. The KD stands for Knock Down as this smoker you can remove the smoke stack, you can remove the front shelf, also you can remove the legs. It's still a solid 1/4" thick welded construction smoker your just able to remove those parts and pack...

No worries just given you a little insight, you can choke down the fire anyway you want too but, when a chimney that is too short may produce insufficient draft (drawing of air). When a chimney that is too long may cause the air to cool before it exits, reducing effective draft and worse...

Regarding the 4" smoke stack for the OKJH using a 4" stack it should be almost 14.5" in length the 24" stack is causing to much air flow. Which in the end causing you to burn a lot more fuel/ wood charcoal etc. something to think about.

Just have a quick question on the reverse flow smoker plate that you made or had made, what is the size of the plate depth and length. Thanks for all your help. If you want to email me that would be great. I picked up a OKJH about 4 weeks ago for $60 and was just gonna do some simple mods...

Just wanted to added the photos of my finished UDS Smoker along with the first cook on it, smoked a rack trimmed spare ribs/ aka St. Louis style ribs and a couple racks of BB ribs. Had the smoker running around 225-250 degrees for about 2.5 hrs then wrapped them for 45 mins and let them rest...

JAronld, Sorry about that not was a type-o over height is 35-1/2" Know if you want to add some height you could use a Weber kettle lid just need to flare out the edge on the Weber kettle lid. I need to add the photos of the finished UDS Smoker I thought I added them to the post last week...

MeatSweats86, Thank you for the comment! 128077127996 Okay let's see I bought the 1-1/2" air inlets pipes and the threaded smoke stack from a solved UDSparts.com. I believe they may of been the same ones you mentioned in your comment above. For me I couldn't see using 3/4" black pipe then have...

gr0uch0, Thank you! Almost $30 into it but, yes very true I've seen the ones they sell for almost $80 online and just couldn't see myself buying one. Know it I didn't have the knowledge or tools etc to make my own then I could see someone having to buy one. Looking forward to getting this...

Afternoon Smokingmeatforums members..... today I was able to finish the charcoal basket had to add the cross bar w/ flat washer and the basket hook to lower and raise it. I used 3/8" solid rod with a 1" flat washer to make basket cross bar and used 1/4" solid rod to make the basket hook...

Smokin Monkey, Thank you! Good old black satin.

Just and update on the UDS Smoker build, past couple days it's been raining and not such a good temp to get some painting done on the smoker. Well finally I was able to put on the finishing coats of black satin paint on the drum and the lid and was able to paint the air inlets today. Take a look
