    Oklahoma Joe Longhorn Combo vs Char-Griller Texas Trio

    Thanks again for all the comments tddeangelo! As you said, it wasn't that hard to build. I used a chair and a couple pillows to hold up the firebox while getting bolts started, but that was the only difficult part to do alone. Even though easy, I should have just had Lowes do it after all. I...

    Oklahoma Joe Longhorn Combo vs Char-Griller Texas Trio

    I picked it up today. Have a party tonight and tomorrow, and will hopefully include some time to build this huge box of metal. Also picked up some Fireblack/lavalock felt. It says to degrease first so it can stick, would Dawn dish soap do the job? Followed up by some rubbing alcohol. Yeah, I...

    Oklahoma Joe Longhorn Combo vs Char-Griller Texas Trio

    Perfect timing, thanks! Been busy so I was going to buy it this weekend. I have decided on the OKJ, so this works out well. Only unfixable con in comparison is the left side firebox and that can still be worked around. Oddly, I was checking out the OKJ manual last night and they have...

    Oklahoma Joe Longhorn Combo vs Char-Griller Texas Trio

    Awesome, good luck with your cooks tddeangelo, let us know how it all turns out. I'm not looking forward to assembly and now even less so after your comments. :) I'll get by, with frustration. Regarding the seasoning, do they comment much on that in the instructions. Long ago in my search I...

    Oklahoma Joe Longhorn Combo vs Char-Griller Texas Trio

    I don't know which WBF uses exactly, but I found Surpahs 304 Grade Stainless Steel 3-Tier Stackable Cooling Rack Set that should do the trick. WBF may actually may be using the Wilton Excelle ones on second look. There's also the smaller GrillPro 14625 Universal Chrome Warming Rack depending...

    Oklahoma Joe Longhorn Combo vs Char-Griller Texas Trio

    Once again, thank you for great response and the additional followup with pics! 1. I've read many put the red seal on while assembling and I'm sure that's easier, just not sure I want to do it at all yet, let alone before I make sure I don't have a defective unit. Returns probably wouldn't...

    Oklahoma Joe Longhorn Combo vs Char-Griller Texas Trio

    Great response with interesting points! I especially like #6, very creative. Do you lift the cooling racks with something, never seen any with tall legs? Got a link? Anyway, I'm packing up for a short vacay so I will come back to this comment for more, just wanted to give a quick thank you!

    Oklahoma Joe Longhorn Combo vs Char-Griller Texas Trio

    Good point, but overthinking is what I do best. Instructions unclear, now I'm drunk.

    Oklahoma Joe Longhorn Combo vs Char-Griller Texas Trio

    Thank you both! If keep it naked there will probably be a gap somewhere for the wire anyway. :) And if I seal it then it probably won't matter.

    Oklahoma Joe Longhorn Combo vs Char-Griller Texas Trio

    I know of the red stuff you're talking about. If the firebox halves leak that bad I may get it, but don't want to gunk it up until I've got it all together and good to go. Returns department might not look kindly on the red caulking. Thanks, I'll start with a half chimney and the chunks you...

    Oklahoma Joe Longhorn Combo vs Char-Griller Texas Trio

    Thanks SmokinAl and Dcecil, hope it helps someone. Thanks for the input DeviousMrMatt! The felt for the fire/smoke chamber was one of the mods I was considering, but may see how it does at first. Even if temps workout ok I may do it just not to bother (or tempt) neighbors with too much smoke...

    Oklahoma Joe Longhorn Combo vs Char-Griller Texas Trio

    Being very limited on space, needing a new propane grill, and wanting to get into smoking I've set my sights on two products and thought I'd share my findings with you. One, for any last minute advice/thoughts and two, so others who may be in the market can get a quick comparison. If you're...

    New smoker, coming soon.

    Hi Ya'll, 38 male from Michigan looking to join your world. I'm a smoked meats lover, but never a maker other than some propane w/ wood chips, smoker bags, and sous vide with liquid smoke. That'll be changing soon as I'll be getting a new smoker/grill once I make my final decision and get a...
