Oklahoma Joe's Laredo 558-Sq. in Black Horizontal Charcoal Smoker

Disappointed

Although we have not used this grill I am glad we got it on sale. I am highly disappointed in the craftsmanship. Tack welds that are already broke out of the box, a coating that buckles under just the hand tightened screws, scuffs straight out of the package.

Poor craftsmanship

Poor craftsmanship, you can tell the workers are being to crank out as many as possible and slacking on care, from the missing rivet nuts, bent pieces, poor welds and lack of care to clean up the welds with a grinder. Maybe I’m biased as a union Sheetmetal worker, but for the cost of these one would expect slightly more care. Probably should have made my own, regardless I bet it smokes just fine. I would add a drip pan to your model. I hate writing reviews this is probably only the second one of...

Good upgrade

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very good smoker/grill. Easy to control temperature. Just wish you would offer a cover for it.

Made family gatherings easier

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My husband is so excited for this product! It took him 30 to 45 minutes tops to put it together. Directions were very easy to understand. We are used to only running a plugged in smoker so this was a whole new atmosphere for us. there’s a lot of learning to be done but excited to see and learn more and more about this smoker!

It did take a bit to get it assembled because some of the pieces were bent so we had to try to hammer them straight. Once we got it together we had to season it. We built a fire in the side box added some wood to that and cooked some bacon on the grill. We also took some of the grease and spread it on the inside. Really helps to get it initially ...

Good Design

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The assembly and design of this Oklahoma Joe smoker was well-done, very intuitive even for beginners. The fire box was big, bordering on almost too big, and the cooking space was spacious to out alot of food on. I did have to keep adding more wood than planned just to keep it smoking for many hours. At the end though, meat came out great with lots of flavor. Overall this smoker is easy to use with a fairly good design. Seems durable as wel...

An elite smoker

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Creates a whole new world to cook and smoke your meats. Really easy to assemble, use, and clean with plenty of room to smoke several different things at once allowing you to have a perfect bbq. Your going to love the way this steel smoker looks in your yard and you’ll be looking towards hearing those flames popping under a nice brisket or chicken breast

Nice
