You can get your grill up to temp pretty fast. I’ve used cherry, pecan, hickory, and mesquite to name a few.īecause the firebox is so well put together, it burns efficiently. I place the wood chunks on the coals, as a cheaper option vs straight stick burning. The smoker accommodates wood chunks and up to 12-inch log splits. In addition, having the smoker with the grill is perfect for those not wanting to purchase the two separately. The Heat and Meat QualityĬharcoal grills (or stick burners) yield far superior quality compared to pellet grills. ![]() Here’s what to know before purchasing the grill, and how I’ve made it work. Its primary function is as a smoker, but can be used as a grill. The versatility is incredible, and the quality is on par with industrial quality grills. It has withstood both wintery weather and desert heat. The Oklahoma Joe’s Highland Offset Smoker and Grill has been part of our family for over 3 years and one of my finest purchases. Whether you’re a seasoned pit master or taking on grilling as your latest hobby in retirement, you’ll want a trusty grill to take on your cooking projects. Just like the smoker and that's the only place I know of to acquire one.You can grill at any age and continue enjoying your favorite cuts of meat. I am not affiliated with academy or Old Country. But I like cooking like that because I don't have to re-light batches of charcoal every 1.5 hours or so. Now, keep in mind that the Over Under is a stick burner type of cooker, so you would have to start buying wood splits instead of wood chunks. So you can have cheaper materials and build process but still get a product that works much better than a big box smoker. The Over Under is also not amazing, I think it's just 1/8" steel, but the body is welded and not bolted together, and I believe the general style of the Over Under smoker lends itself to better temperature control over the whole cooking area. I just couldn't find a horizontal offset style one that had high enough build quality for a price that I considered reasonable. I was thinking about going for a higher quality horizontal offset smoker like a Horizon or a Lang but decided on a Old Country BBQ Pits Over Under smoker. I also knew I didn't want another ceramic egg because I wanted more cooking area for my main (only) smoker. I knew I didn't want another char-griller because that one lasted like 10 years and I was really familiar with the drawbacks of that style of cheap smoker by then. I moved and left my char-griller horizontal offset and brand new ceramic egg-style smoker in another state because I got a new job. ![]() Only issue I had was the paint peeled instantly on the firebox. may add gasket at some point but may just leave it too. doesn't seem bad enough to affect the cook for me.

Firebox it protects the bottom from the heat. I added firebricks to the bottom of the firebox and the cook chamber. Only mods ive done was add the second thermometer and the same thing I did with my old highland. The baffle plates for the reverse flow are nice since they catch grease drippings and are removable so Easy to keep clean. I burn straight wood but cut into small chunks and the basket works well. but have that for sale now because the reverse flow looked nice and shiny.
