A few weeks ago a friend mentioned he had an old Oklahoma Joe's smoker sitting behind his work's shop. I said I'd be interested in buying it if it was still functional. He responded that I could have it if I wanted it, he'd just like it to go to someone who will use it.
A couple weeks later he say's hey, I've got that smoker on my trailer. I'll bring it over if you still want it? Ummm, ok... bring it on!
We unloaded it and it was a little rough but I figured I could at least get it cleaned up and use it so I took a crack at restoring it. It turned out much better than I hoped. I made him take a small gift in return but still feel like I won the lottery! I absolutely love this thing!
I spoke to Roger at Horizon Smokers and learned quite a bit about it. He originally designed and built it. They made the grates and diffuser plate for me and I was able to pick them up the next day. I also used their BBQ sauce on those ribs. It was awesome! If you're shopping smokers, definitely take a look at them: http://www.horizonbbqsmokers.com/
