Thank you gentlemen. Here's my story. Lived in apartrments most of my life in NY, which means can't have a smoker, but I love BBQ. Moved to FL 11 years ago, more apts, still no smoker. Bought myself a house for my 51st birthday back in Nov. NOW I can finally have a smoker!! I bought a Camp Chef smoke pro DLX. I've run the thing on low smoke, high smoke, used smoke tubes with pellets and with wood chips. I'm not getting true bbq off the damn thing. So, I ordered an OKJ Longhorn reverse flow which will be here tomorrow. I may be able to get it assembled before I go to work. I'm very excited though.

Hopefully one of the mods will flip my pic for me soon lol

Mine had gasket material on th firebox lid sealin perimeter, when I bought it, but it has largely long since burnt off...
Doesn't seem to make any difference, in my estimation...
Seams are caulked with Red RTV, but I haven't bothered doin any kinda 'insulatin', per se...
Reckon yer gonna find stickburnin to be fun, an flavouful...

I'm gonna see how the thing runs with no mods first, then go from there.

Welcome to The Pitmaster Club! Love the username and the intro! We are all green at everything at some point, BBQ too. I was always great (I thought) at steaks & burgers, so hey BBQ can't be hard. Got a smoker. My first rack of ribs I cooked hot & fast like a long pork chop. My first pulled pork I took to 165 and tried pulling it. Needless to say I learned real quick I was WAY more green at BBQ than I thought I'd be. Before you know it you'll be teaching others though!
