The Oklahoma Joe Highland is a top selling offset smoker! I bought the Oklahoma Joe Highland Reverse Flow that can be converted to the a tradional Highland. I wanted to see the difference in how these smokers operate!

I've been using the Highland offset for 9 years and am currently upgrading the offset. I think a far more accurate comparison that would provide more data would've been to run it just like a cook session, with the firebox door shut and vent open, and running 1 split at a time for about 3 splits. I want to see those spikes and lows.

I was seriously planning to buy one of these... thank goodness you made a video about it.

This is consistent with my experience, I have a double-barrel traditional offset, and if it were much smaller then I would definitely want a reverse flow. With the larger smoker I get different zones, the area nearest the firebox cooks like a drum smoker with radiant infrared heat (great for chicken, tri tip) and the barrel furthest from the firebox is pure convection for briskets ribs etc.

great video👍

@thomasfontenot8291 5 years ago

Yeah I think this video helps to explain why my factory lid thermometers and grill level probes are reading pretty much the same constantly on my Highland. It didn't start happening until I put the make shift baffle plate in there.

That’s a cool test. I didn’t know the grill could do both

That’s the only kingsford that is worth using in my opinion

I use the traditional chimney when I grill putting the charcoal in the smoke chamber 2 chimneys of charcoal. I gotta say the food ends up way better than other grills. As a smoker I still struggle with draft so thinking I'm gonna extend the stack height couple feet for better natural draft and give that a go...soon as winter is over.

@tswarner67 4 years ago

Really considering picking up the traditional highland !

@gray_gogy 5 years ago

Perhaps they had a large stock of traditional highlands and the made the reverse flow by just modding the original highlands. That's why the traditional option exhaust is so higg
