Oklahoma Joe's Longhorn Smoker

The reverse flow system uses a series of baffles to guide smoke and heat underneath the cooking grates before it travels back across the food. This design eliminates hot spots and ensures a more consistent, even temperature across the entire 1060 sq. in. cooking surface.

While it is a substantial piece of equipment weighing 206 lbs, the wagon-style wheels are designed to handle the weight. It is manageable to reposition on flat surfaces, though you will want to choose a permanent spot for it given its size.

Because this is a traditional offset smoker, you will need to actively manage your fire throughout the cook. You will primarily use charcoal as your base heat source and add wood chunks or logs to the firebox to generate the smoke flavor.

The porcelain coating helps prevent food from sticking and makes cleanup easier than raw cast iron. To maintain the coating, avoid using harsh metal scrapers or wire brushes that could chip the surface; a stiff nylon brush or a wooden scraper is best.

This unit arrives unassembled and requires a significant amount of setup. Expect to spend a few hours putting it together, and it is highly recommended to have a second person available to help lift and align the heavy steel components.

While it is designed primarily as a smoker, you can grill directly over the firebox if you need to sear a steak quickly. However, the main chamber is optimized for low-and-slow cooking, so it is not ideal for high-heat grilling.
