Is reverse flow better than a standard offset?

Reverse flow sends smoke across the chamber before it exits, which usually gives more even temperatures and less of a hot end near the firebox. Standard offsets are simpler and can run hotter near the fire. The Highland lets you switch between the two.

Can I use it as a regular charcoal grill?

It is built as a smoker, so it works best for low-and-slow cooking. You can grill over the firebox or the main chamber, but it is not a substitute for a dedicated kettle grill.

What fuel does it take?

Charcoal for the base fire, plus hardwood splits or chunks for smoke. The large charcoal basket is meant to keep a burn going longer between refuels.

How much meat fits inside?

The main chamber is large enough for several briskets, racks of ribs or pork shoulders at once. Exact capacity depends on how you arrange the grates.

Does it need seasoning before the first cook?

Yes. Wash off the shipping oil, then run a hot burn with oil on the interior surfaces to build a protective layer before cooking food.

What is covered by the warranty?

Oklahoma Joe's backs all parts for two years. Keep the receipt, since claims go through the manufacturer.
