Okahoma Joe

I found two Okahoma Joe smokers at $599.00 each. Looks like they have been there for awhile. They are nice made 1/4 inch steel 20 inch pipe. Is this a fair price for a 1/4 inch 20 inch? Very Happy

I would say that is a good price if it is 1/4 metal and an offset smoker. Where ya find them? Got pictures?

Actually at home depot. Don't have any pictures. The only ones I see now are one-eight inch. I have a lyfe tyme but one more never hurt. Very Happy

the ones around here not even 1/8 thick I don't think. I will be glad to buy one that is 1/4 for 600

If I remember correctly the 20" OK Joes are 3/16" thick but either way $599 is a pretty good deal considering when they are not on sale they sell for about $879 at HD. I know some people that have that smoker and they absolutely love it.

Don't bother,I went by yesterday and both were gone Sad

-all left was some 1/8" ones with bolted on fire boxes. Academy had two 3/16 20 " at 999.00. Really heavy. Wish I could have picked one of the Ok. joes up before they sold. Grills selling like hot cakes here now.

what brand they have for that? Is it a Oklahoma Joe or Old Country? I don't remember seeing one on there website last night

The ones at Academy are the 3/16th Brazos 20 inch. I have a 16x40 lyfe tyme that weights 300 LBS and I would guess the Brazos Old country would go 450 -475. appears to be a 40 inch with large firebox. I am still having trouble with my lyfe tyme being 75-100 F+ difference from Hot to cold end, even after I added 6 inch plates. If anything it is worse

The Brazos unit is not in academy website. If they drop the price this fall, I may pick one up. There is a post or two on here on the Brazos, I think.

Ok thanks. I will be going to Nashville this coming weekend and I might have to make another stop at Academy and see if they got it in there store. I know they didn't last time I was there
