Customer Reviews for OKLAHOMA JOE'S Highland Reverse Flow Offset Charcoal Smoker and Grill in Black with 900 sq. in. Cooking Space

I knew not to expect too much for the cost but the fit and finish of the doors were very crooked and leaked. Bought thier latches to help and gasket, gasket is junk changed to green egg gasket is better. Should of stepped up..

The smoker works well, but.... I had to repaint the firebox as the paint started to chip and flake off during the first cook. I did the initial burn as recommend and during the cook the heat in the firebox was pretty low (the smoker never went above 225f). Also, the firebox and main chamber do not come with gaskets and there was a decent amount of smoke coming out of those gaps. When you look at the price point of this unit and only a minimum bump to a higher end unit I find it unacceptable that Oklahoma Joe's cuts corners like this. Since purchasing this unit, I have had to buy a drip bucket (not included), the gasket, the main chamber clamps, and paint for the firebox. This is after just one use...

It’s a very great smoker. I enjoy using it.

We're so happy with our new Oklahoma Joe's smoker. We researched awhile and finally found this at Home Depot. Ordering was easy, shipping was free, and it came earlier than expected! No problem since they'd updated us on shipping along the way, so we knew when to expect it to arrive. Great ordering/shopping experience!

Overall this is a decent smoker for the average joe... Yes, smoke and likely heat will escape from lid if you don't install aftermarket gaskets but it will cause little if any problems during a 4-10 hour smoke if you don't. Well constructed for the price and reasonably easy to assemble.

It's ok. Hardware is junk. Lid isn't tight. Wheels are janky. It gets the job done but it's got bad hardware

Bought the smoker a month ago and have smoked three times in it. I knew before purchasing I dided need to install the gasket and latches (sold separately). My only issue is that the paint on the offset blistered and peeled the first time using. The instructions say to use high temp pain to touch up, which makes me believe they know it's an issue and aren't taking steps to fix. Other than that, the smoker works great and I like I can use whole logs to smoke.

I bought my first smoker after much research. I went with the highland reverse offset smoker. Assembly was easy. First fire and seasoning went fine. First time I used the smoker was for two pork butts. Almost all the paint on the offset above the firebox has bubbled up and came off. And that’s with only one burn if you don’t count the seasoning burn. Kind of disappointed.

This smoker is great. The reverse flow feature evenly distributes heat and helps with temp control. Best smoked wings ever!

I love it. The reverse flow gives great results. Make sure you take proper care of it and keep it cleaned and dry and oiled

Te directions to assemble were very straight forward and it took less than 2 hours. Looking forward to using it.

This smoker is worth the price it does go through alot of charcoal when smoking but I love it Pros. It holds temp well, has a huge cooking surface smokes very well Cons. Wish the metal was just a 1/16 inch thicker and the vent door was bigger... the metal warped a little on the fire box but not too bad and of course the painted bubbled up but that's nothing to cry about really doesnt effect the use of it

After some modification examples Lid gasket, food grade silicone cauk for assembly ,extra temp gauge , clamps for the large lid ,jack stand for under the fire box and some high temp grill paint I am good to go .works great

I've been looking for a grill for a long time. I became aware of Oklahoma's Joe on the Internet and searched for a while here in Mexico - and found it. I've never unpacked anything in my life and I knew it was forever. Now yes. An amazing quality. Many thanks from a German grill and smoker fan.

Despite following the directions step by step, the seal is terrible, resulting in heat loss, smoke loss, and temperature variation. Aftermarket modification is necessary to make this even worth it, but in hindsight, I would just purchase a different brand. Also, the bottom of the unit turned whitish after grilling with lump charcoal. Don't know if the unit was finished incorrectly or what, but I have low hopes about avoiding a rust problem within a year, despite using a cover and following the curing procedure. Perhaps I just got a lemon as there were some rough welds and very poor alignment with both lids. I spent a week's worth of money and it really sucks to be so disappointed with my purchase.

It was supposed to be delivered on a different day, so I was unable to tell them to put it in my back yard. They left it out on my curb. It was very heavy & I needed help getting it to the back

It arrived early and was very easy to assemble. You will need two people for sure! Seasoned it as recommended and that went well. First smoke job was a 11lb pork butt that took 11 plus hours and once I learned how to feed the smoke box and get my heat below 300 the smoker maintained the heat. I liked the reverse flow smoking process. The butt was excellent and I am excited to smoke some ribs and chicken next. Great buy and value for the money.

Great performance, my fire box did get too hot on my first smoke and the paint started to peel on the top of the box.

The construction is good but found that the gauge is a bit thin. Think I’m really going to have to really take care of it to last me a few years.

It would be so much simpler for ordering parts for your grill by having a picture of the grill to click on to… taking you to the that grills parts list. Instead of having to go find the model number…,

Easy to assemble and seems to be well constructed
