well ive lurked on this forum a while picked up some great useful tips figured i should join up, ive been smoking for a couple years first just with a weber smoky mountain but this year i stepped up to a stick burner! So i got a used but in mint condition Oklahoma joe off kijiji. Only a year old but well cared for plus the previous owner put gaskets around the gaps in the doors and firebox, plus added a baffle plate in the smoke chamber. ive been firing it up every weekend this summer using white oak its been great time love every min of it
