Oklahoma Joe's Longhorn Reverse Flow Offset Smoker
The deepest owner record over $700, on a firebox you will seal — A 751 sq in offset that runs reverse flow or traditional by moving its baffles and stack, 268.3 lb by Oklahoma Joe's own spec table. It holds 4.4★ across 515 on Amazon, the deepest base in the class, and Amazon sells it under Oklahoma Joe's list price. Its critical reviews are about gaps, leaks and paint, not the cooking.

Fit, leaks and paint, not the cooking. The newest critical reviews describe gaps at the firebox ("a quarter inch gap on both sides"), doors that need gasket and clamps to seal ("Be prepared to spend extra time and money getting the cooking chamber door and firebox to seal up"), a misdrilled hole, interior panels that warped on the first burn, and paint "flaking" after one cook.
