Are Oklahoma Joe's offset smokers worth buying?

[Compulsive Smoker]

One of our local stores has and Oklahoma Joe's offset smoker on sale for $199.00 when they usually sell for $429.00. Is this worth getting? Or should I save my money for a better one later on?

That's a great deal and I'd grab it. The first offset I bought about 9 years ago was the Highland and it was on sale for $299. I bought it to learn on and even though I have a large custom offset now, my Ok Joe Highland is still used weekly. Plenty of mods available for them...

I agree. That sounds like a steal, and my understanding is that those are decent pits.

And, I will put in my usual pitch for Bell Fab out of Oklahoma if/when you want to upgrade. High quality, customizable, relatively very inexpensive, and I think he ships now.

Thanks guys! I think I’ll nab one if they have any left! I look forward to posting the inaugural cook!

I bought a (Oklahoma Joes built for) Brinkman many years ago. Its called the Brinkman Cimarron.
I don`t use it as much as i use to because my Rec-teq BYB1200 is easier to deal with.

But the stick burners will always give you that old school flavor that a pellet cooker never will.

Here`s what the Brinkman Cimarron looks like. They were good cookers, when modified w/chamber plates. I still own mine today. Its made with 1/4 inch steel. The new smokers are a lot thinner metal.
