Oklahoma Joe Bronco - Considering Buying

[Uncle Bob]

MtView, too bad you're not in Ohio. There's a member on the FB group who bought a Pro last month then found out his family won't eat smoked meat (unclear whether it's any or just his). He's put it up for sale at $350.

Ooof. I feel for them because I could easily see something like that happening to me. I know I'm on safe ground if I keep the smoke light. I was hoping the pellet grill would do that for me, but eventually it drove me bonkers that I couldn't taste any smoke so I'm picking up a Bronco.

He was reluctant to give details, so knowing the cause is not possible. Based on other examples experienced most people who say they dislike smoked meats have likely been served acrid smoked meats. Wrong smoking woods, not waiting for the smoking woods to "settle down" to good combustion, or overloading the quantity of smoking woods are the typical culprits. Even with all the help available online it's still an experience thing to "get it right".

I just thought of another question about the charcoal bin. If I use the Bronco Pro charcoal bin in the original Bronco, do I also need to get the Bronco Pro ash bin? I couldn't find any specs on the ash bins.

Nope, they're the same, diameter and height.
