Not as good as the original
I had a be of the original Oklahoma Joes Smokers back in the 90’s before they sold out. It had a thick gauge of steel. This new one isn’t as high quality as the original was. They also share the grate that connects the legs to each other which I had on my Char Broil that rusted quickly. They also bolt the firebox on the main chamber. The original was welded if I recall This new one needs seals as the old one didn’t so much. That said the good is the reverse flow does work well. More even temps through out (like 10 degrees difference) also the crate for the firewood is and works exceptionally well. I give two stars because the quality of the build itself is lacking but the smoker does work well.

FANTASTIC
i bought this after having several "tin" smokers. this will never rust out in my lifetime. heavy construction, wind doesnt seem to bother it. i had to use a wind break with my old ones. if i would have bought this years ago i would be ahead several hundred dollars. am looking forward to trying it mid dec. cold in iowa.

Update Highland Reverse Flow Smoker - No Mods
Posted earlier about the excellent fit and quality of my new Highland Reverse Flow Smoker. Yesterday I finally got the opportunity to season it. After reading everything I could on what others have done, I decided to use a paint brush to apply a thick coating of 100% pure Canola oil (appears thicker than spray oil). I also coated the entire outside of the smoker being sure to dap oil around all lid closure points. I also placed four Southern Living magazines under each wheel to give it a slight tilt toward the drain-end such that during the seasoning process, excess oil could easily drip from the smoker. I filled the basket nearly all the way with unlit charcoals and then added a mini-chimney of lit charcoals to the top. After closing everything up, opened the exhaust damper up all the way and the air intake damper to 1/2" open. This allowed smoker to settle in on 263 degrees for 8 hours without any deviation and another 2 hours at 210 degrees without adding coals (reminiscent of cooking with an UDS - set it and forget it smoker). Through the whole process, there was very little smoke seen escaping from the cook chamber lid (at most, a whiff every now and then), and none from the fire box (very careful to tighten bolts in a cross pattern similar to changing a car tire so as to apply equal torque gradually to all bolts and avoid any type of warpage). Today I plan to fire my smoker back up this time raising the temperature up to 300 degrees for 4 - 5 hours to further set and hardened the lacquer-like protective glaze that I now have on the inside and outside of my smoker with no paint damage. The oil around the closure points apparently helped to form a gasket to prevent leaks that would have eventually formed during cooking process over time. My smoker is totally stock and I love the way it has performed so far. I cannot wait to begin cooking in the very near future, but appear rain is forecasted for the next several days.

Love this smoker!
I've been cooking for years, but this is my first smoker. I did lots of shopping around, watched lots of YouTube videos and strongly debated wheather to go old school or go with an automatic type smoker. Obviously I went old school and I'm glad I did!
I jumped in with both feet by smoking a brisket on my first go around. The brisket didn't turn out as well as I would have liked, but I learned a lot about the Oklahoma Joes. My next adventure was Back Ribs. Wow! They were a little overcooked but the flavor was fantastic.
At this very moment I am smoking more ribs, using the 3-2-1 method and keeping the temperature between 200 and 225 degrees F. I used a rub with 1 part kosher salt, 3 parts coarse ground black pepper, a dash of garlic powder and a dash of onion powder. Three hours of smoking, two hours wrapped in foil with 3/4 cup apple juice and back on the smoker, then around one hour on the smoker unwrapped.
If you are the kind of person who is as interested in the process as you are with the final product, this smoker is for you. There is definitely a learning curve, but luckily there is a wealth information about smoking online, which makes it well within anyone's reach.
The Oklahoma Joe's isn't as heavy as a professional smoker, but it is well built and it's perfect for the home cook who wants to produce authentic smoked foods. I purchased the reverse flow smoker only because there is the option of doing just offset smoking or reverse flow smoking. So far I've only used the reverse flow option and I'm very pleased with the results.

Great idea, bad quality.
Was very excited to finally own a reverse flow smoker. Love the all inclusive idea. The pans have drip holes that are too small and the paint peeled off the fire box on the second use.
Steel thickness is just OK

First timmer
I have been grilling for a long time, but this my first time smoking food and I must say this is very easy and rewarding. Don't let the sound smoking scare you, all you have to remember is "long and slow", you cannot rush food on a smoker.
As for my Highland reverse smoker I picked the right one for me, it did a wonderful job on my first attempt. I'm looking forward to a long and happy relationship with her.
