Put all ingredients in a bowl.. All measured in cups.
Ingredients for the SPG:
1 1/4 Kosher Salt
2 Coarse Ground Black Pepper
1 1/4 Granulated Garlic
Ingredients for the Hot Rub:
1 Ground Cayenne Red Pepper
1/2 Paprika
1/2 Granulated Garlic
1/2 Coarse Black Ground Pepper
1/2 Turbinado Sugar (raw sugar)
1/2 Kosher Salt
1/4 Chili Powder

Mix all ingredients into a bowl and add to shaker. A funnel works great for this.

Just finished building my Oklahoma Joe Smoker - only one H-bolt missing not bad - seasoning it now - I set mine up as an off-set smoker - I'm using one reverse plate near the firebox to see how well that does for heat control - and I have one crate in the main chamber to use as a water pan holder (great advice) - doing carry-out orders for this Sunday, Brisket, Ribs - I'll be sure to post build and cooking videos on my channel - Thanks for the build review - it came in handy!

@@BBQJOE I just put mine together this evening, thanks to you it went very smooth. However I did do one step differently. I attached the top half of the firebox to the smoker box; mainly because I was working alone and it was much lighter to do it that way, then once attached, I attached the bottom half of the firebox. But all your suggestions were great and worked really well. Tomorrow, I get to season it. I do notice that after adding the gaskets, the doors don’t close all the way. I did order some clamps to help that situation (2 per door). Looking forward to going out to the pit! Take care all!

@@BBQJOE do you regret buying it? Is it not a great smoker? Do you feel it’s too thin or a profile for steel? Is money spend better with the pitts and spitts and Yoder and that obvious or is it similar and just higher cost. Thanks.

@BBQJOE 3 жыл бұрын

I don't regret buying it at all. The metal is thin but you get what you pay for. If your budget will let you, most definitely get a Yoder. Those are high quality smokers.. And to answer your other question, yes you can grill in the main chamber but you have to remove the reverse flow plates and set the included coal grates in.. I don't recommend it as it's a hassle to convert over and over time the fire will destroy those cooking grates. I own a mobile smoker made of 1/4" and 1/2" steel. It's 20' long x 8.5' wide. Weighs in at 7500 lbs. She's a beast but only use it for catering. I use the okj for family and friends. Hope this helps.

@BBQJOE 5 жыл бұрын

That's really a tough choice.. Ok.. if they were both stock from the factory, I would choose the OKJ Longhorn Reverse Flow hands down.. But as of right now i would say my heavy modified WSM 22... Keep in mind I have close to $1300 invest in it from new... I've done 65 lbs. of meat at once, hung ribs and chicken, cold smoked tons of cheese and it can be broke down to use as a large travel grill. Now I have some future mods for the OKJ that I've never seen before and if it all works out as planned, I would go with the OKJ over the WSM.

@robertweber3140 5 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the detailed feedback. I really had expected the WSM to come put on top, given all the assecories available. did not realize you had $1300 invested in your WSM. Wow!!

Could you use the gasket and maybe seal around that on the outside with the silicone for a double seal? Thanks!

@hudsonriley2094 3 жыл бұрын

Just a few words of advice here. This is not a true original American made oaklahoma Joe’s. This is built roughly to half of the metal and quality of the the original. This is a charbroil built by charbroil in some overseas country. Please do not take my word about it just research it yourself. I have a original that is much much more heavier built. Also take notice that the big brass oaklahoma brass symbol is missing from the lid that are riveted on the original. I learned of the change when I went to reorder a new cover for my original. After much searching and a call to the original company I was told by them that they had sold to charbroil. Also take notice to the very small spot welds every 10in apart. Our friends bought one after a grill we had done in 2015. And to say that they were disappointed is a understatement. This needs to be known in order to not deceive people. Do some research.

It's crazy to me that when you pay that much money for one of theirs that you have that many issues to be addressed? I'm not sure if you have seen Allen's smokers at country built smokers but for roughly the same price (maybe a little more) you could get heavier walled steel and better craftsmanship. Just my opinion though. Like the videos showing all of this though. Keep up the good work.

Can you put charcoal in the main smoke chamber and use it to grill steaks or burger like any normal charcoal grill?

@BBQJOE 5 жыл бұрын

Yes you can but before you start a fire you'll have to remove the basket cause it's to tall for the cooking grate. When I get home tonight I'll place the fire grate in the stock position and see if the if you can use the basket that way. Thanks for watching.

Thanks for the reply. Can you also put charcoal and grill in the bigger barrel where you typically would smoke the meat?

@BBQJOE 5 жыл бұрын

Yes you can.. It comes with extra fire grates for the main chamber. I use them along with the one that comes with the firebox to create a cross pattern to save on my amber. One of these days I'll demonstrate on how to use them if you like.

I had them take it back cause the firebox was slanted downwards. But come to find out that's just how they're made.

Or you can run over to Lone Star Grillz and buy one you don't have to mess with. Just Uncrate and away you go. No assembly required. I will never regret spending 4 times, as much for 1000 times the quality and durability. I could have gone less expensive with the squarish models but the smallest round one was the one I went with.

@BBQJOE 5 жыл бұрын

I agree with ya 100%.. Not everyone can afford a high dollar offset. I bought it as a backup incase my mobile smoker wasn't going to be finished by next week. I figured while I have the OKJ I could help people protect there investment. My mobile smoker will cost 12x the amount of the Lone Star.. Its made of 1/4" and 1/2" steel. Thanks for watching.

Hey Joe! It's been a week or more since you've released these OJL videos. I didn't really know how to reply to these.......and now that you've shown your Custom Creation Beast of a Pit.......it only makes me wonder ever more...........WHY????? I just don't understand? Please explain! .......Is it the challenge of trying to tame this animal??? And for you to run it with charcoal briquettes and smoke wood.....I just don't get it? You already do that in your WSM Monster! I really wanted to see You burning only wood splits in it! Now that would be impressive! 🔥 You're my Brother and You are one of the more creative channels that I enjoy,.... so this isn't a negative comment. I too looked at these pits a couple years ago and thought.......I Can Do it! I can Tame this Beast! But then I came to my senses and Just Let It Go! :-) We're all learning here.....so out of curiosity........I need to Know. Why Did You Buy This Pit? Metal On!!! \m/

@BBQJOE 5 жыл бұрын

It's all good brother.. The only reason I bought this OKJ is because I didn't think my mobile smoker would be finished in time for my sons graduation party. I bought it as a back up and kinda wanted a offset on my deck. Now I tried using just wood in the original okj that's being returned and it was destroying that firebox within the first few of cooks. Imo that firebox would only last a 6 months to a year with heavy use. I have several cooks on the replacement with no issues running charcoal/wood.. You have a very nice offset and I personally don't think you'll like the cheaper offsets at all. My new mobile smoker is the only thing I own that I will use wood in.. At the end of the day I needed a plan B for this party and that's the only reason I bought that okj.. I didn't read anything negative in your comment. Your good dude and I live watching your videos as well. Thx

These are low quality thin metal smokers but they work great once you get to know it.. I use it just about every other weekend when it's nice out and I have no complaints especially for the price. It doesn't make for a good stick burner at all unless you cut up the splits in fours so the wood will ignite easier and not smolder.. But, if you use the included charcoal basket and add 1 full split and the rest with unlit charcoal with 1 full chimney of lit coals on top, you'll get just about a 4.5-5hr burn.. It's pretty much set it and forget it as long as you have your vents dialed in which is easy to do.. Just remember that the thin metal firebox is attached to the main chamber so it will be hotter on that side. For only $600US I would recommend this smoker in everybodies backyard. Hope this helps and thanks for watching..
