    How much meat will fit OKJ Highland

    Awesome! Thanks for the input. I’m using the reverse flow Hughland so I’ll see if I can comfortably squeeze a St. Louis rack in with the butts.

    How much meat will fit OKJ Highland

    Hey all, I’m planning a BBQ for next week and will need 3-4 Boston Butts. Anyone out there feel that’s too much for the Highland? What about ribs and chicken? Feel free to share how far you’ve pushed the highland and how it turned out. Thanks!

    They were the hooks on my thermometers meant to hang it on an oven rack. Since I always stand them on top the rack I don’t think I’ll miss them

    Seasoning Oklahoma Joe's Highland Reverse Flow Smoker

    Ok so I got the Temps fairly steady 10 degrees throughout the chamber. I saw someone do this on YouTube on their regular highland (not reverse flow) I added two stainless clips in the cook chamber just above the opening by the fire box. (Youtube guy didn’t do this, didn’t need to on the...

    Oklahoma Joe Highland temperature variations

    I’m getting the same problem in the heighland reverse flow especially the first hour. The smoke stack comes done to the grate. The longer the cook the closer the top temp matches the bottom. I have to remind myself no peeking or that throws everything off again.

    Just a theory here. And please step in with your thoughts. My firebox has big gaps where the top and bottom are bolted together. You can easily slip a quarter through it. If I close the fire box damper air will still enter these gaps as long as the chimney is open. The majority of the air goes...

    No seals were use. I emailed char-briol to get their opinion on the seals before I purchased it. They called me the next day and said the seals would negatively affect its design and decrease the airflow it was meant to have. BUT it seems like literally everyone uses them so it must be for a reason

    That’s a good recovery time. I guess it doesn’t help that I have to open the door to check the temp with the thermometers I’m using lol.

    Hello everyone, I’m new here. I bought my Highland reverse flow a couple weeks ago. Found at BJs for $279. I did not use any mods. Here’s what I’m doing to keep the temps relatively even through out. This keeps temps withen 10-15 degrees. 1. Keep the Door closed! This thing loses heat...
