Patio Oklahoma Smoker
Constructed of heavy-duty steel the 20 in. Oklahoma Joe Patio Offset Smoker from the Oklahoma Smoker range is built to last. Watch out though - it definitely is a two man construction job so allow for this when you get it back to the ranch (also there’s a lot of packaging that you’ll need to arrange to dispose of!).
The unit includes a smoking chamber and a stainless-steel front shelf that provides a grand total of 1,045 sq. in. of cooking space. Features include that all important built-in temperature gauge for effective, even cooking, a removable ash drawer for easy clean up and a firebox door (that comes attached to the smoker) with easy access for filling. A bottom metal shelf adds that extra space and cool-touch handles provide a necessary safety factor.
One small negative: This particular Oklahoma Smoker doesn’t come with a cover and it’s quite difficult to find one that fits.
As a historical footnote it’s worth noting that Smokey Joe’s Smokers (to give Oklahoma Joes Smokers range their formal title) have been custom building all types of smokers since 1987. Originally owned by Joe Quinton (hence the company name) of Nawata County in Northeastern Oklahoma (about 1 mile north of Tulsa for those who want to know where exactly) but sold to Joe Pearce (good job he had the same first name!), a former employee, in 1997.
The 20 in. Oklahoma Joe Patio Offset Smoker is deal for large family gatherings and parties and does wonderful barbecue pork ribs.
