- Is this smoker good for beginners?
- It can be, but it rewards patience. Offset smokers need you to manage the fire and vents, so expect a learning curve before temperatures stay steady.
- How much food can it hold?
- The 1,060-square-inch chamber fits multiple racks of ribs, several pork butts or a full brisket with room to spare. It is built for large cooks.
- Does it need electricity or pellets?
- No. It burns charcoal and wood only, so there are no cords, augers or controllers to fail.
- How is it different from a pellet grill?
- A pellet grill sets and forgets the temperature. This one gives stronger smoke flavor but asks you to feed the fire and adjust vents through the cook.
- Can it be moved around the yard?
- It has wheels, but the steel body is heavy and best left in one spot. Move it on firm, level ground with help.
- What do I need to buy separately?
- Charcoal, split wood, a chimney starter and a good cover. Some owners add a heat baffle to even out hot spots near the firebox.
- Where is the Oklahoma Joe's 1060-Sq Black Horizontal Charcoal Smoker cheapest?
- At Lowe's, for $899.00, as of our latest check.
