hey Y'all,
my OK Joe Highland reverse flow finally arrived. I hope to do a thorough review, as i would have like to read one before buying. Buried in work for now which comprises of many reports
Here's s few lines of initial thoughts. Feel free to ask particular questions instead of waiting for full report.
Initial thoughts:
Charbroil/China relationship apparent (but not a deal breaker.)
Instruction manual says have a helper. Unless your wife is one of those Olympic weightlifters I recommend finding a buddy who isn't offended by swearing.
Initial Mods: Lavalock 1/2" cooking chamber gasket. Definitely need to add chamber door clamps.
I was tickled silly with the seasoning/burn-in process. I used digital probes at grate level (left and right) and two analog (pre-tested and matching) in the lid.
One chimney Kingsford briquettes, and a couple chunks of hickory (more below)
of hickory. all temps within a few degrees(image attached. temp held 4-5 hours without diddling with it. dampers at about 1/4 open.
Would I do it again with current knowledge? HELL yeah. For $450 all in, a real decent department store smoker.
My OCD tendencies will shine with full report.
ask away
carry on. I got work to do.
