Welded up the firebox and firebox door

On my new Oklahoma Joe highland I welded the firebox together and than welded it to the barrel

Think they came out good

Just curious as to why you welded the fire box door?

I welded strip around the door because there were some good gaps

Maybe I'm thinking of a different OK Joe, but how are you loading wood? Or are you burning chips/pellets in it?

I run an offset stick burner and I'm pretty new to smoking (just started in spring this year). Just trying to understand a little bit more.

The welds look pretty good from the pics!

It's still a stick burner, load wood from the top door

Just trying to make it air tight

Makes sense! Thanks.

Sorry about all the questions. I'm running a chargriller with all the mods right now but looking to get an OK joe in the near future.

No problem, I have a chargriller duo and my wife just got me the OK Joe for my birthday and I went on here and got some ideas for it
