For those interested, here's a pic of the inside.

Here's a list of my mods.

  • Grommet on the side for probe access: So handy! The most useful mod. I used this titanium drill bit to create a hole large enough. It took me about an hour of sweating my butt off with the drill to make the hole. I feel like this mod is a must because if you use any kind of probe this will be a lifesaver. Constantly closing and opening the lid of the smoker with the wire in the way will eventually damage the wire. With this grommet bypassing the door entirely, you don't risk damaging the wire anytime you open or close the lid. If your hand slips when opening the lid and the lid slams down, it can CUT the probe wire! Lifesaver indeed.
  • Lavalock Thermometers x2: I bought two of these for both sides. Tested them for accuracy with boiling water and they work pretty great.
  • Lavalock Gaskets: I used these to seal the lid of the main chamber. It helps create a seal for lower smoke leakage.
  • Clamps: These make 100% sure you are airtight when smoking. When used together with the gaskets, I get virtually no leakage from the main chamber. One annoying thing though is that the clamp installed on the side of the fire chamber can get in the way of you opening and closing the fire chamber lid. But, overall I'm happy with them, especially for longer cooks.
  • High Temp Silicone Caulk: This is a MUST. The areas around the smoke chamber leak smoke SO MUCH. I've used it to seal around every nook and cranny of the fire chamber and it's done wonders.
  • Water pan: Not sure if this counts as a mod, but it's just a simple steel water pan.
  • Oklahoma Joe Firebox Basket: The reverse flow smoker came included with this. I think the regular Highland Smoker does not have it. In my opinion, it is extremely helpful in maintaining heat throughout your cook and makes the temperature fluctuate less.

Starting at the top with the thermometers, I never did use the the one that came with the bbq, but I wanted a second one to fill the hole in the lid so I ordered two of the same, they seem to be pretty accurate when compared to my digital thermometers. Link to thermometers I ordered.

Moving left, I installed a gasket around the edges of the lid, I find this keeps the gasket clean from from meat drippings, sauces, etc. Over time the weight of the lid molds around the opening and creates a tight seal, no smoke or heat is lost through the lid.

Below shows a Weber Grommet that I use to run my temperature probes through. The gauge of metal on the OKJ is thicker than what it is on the Weber Smokey Mountain but with some elbow grease and olive oil it does make a snug fit.

Also in this picture you can see J-B Weld high temp silicone around the chimney.

Moving right to the picture of the grill grates, you can see below the grill grates a heat deflector baffle plate, at first I didn't care for this as I spent a summer learning how to use the BBQ without it. But after a bit of practice I learned how to use it and am really happy with it, seems to keep a nice even heat across the chamber.

Moving up to the last picture. I replaced the set bolts on the legs. I drilled through the legs and the stubs that are welded to the bottom of the chamber and installed bolts, I did this below too and have attached the bottom shelf with bolts through the legs. I found that moving the BBQ around seemed to stress and lossen the set bolts, doesn't help with cookin' but sturdies it up.

Also in this same picture I bought a bucket for the drippings.

Not pictured is a fire box basket. Keeps the coals and wood in place, if need be I can place a log in the chamber to warm it quickly before tossing in the basket.

A couple things I tried but didn't care for. The dryer vent elbow inside the chambrer to lower the chimney down to grate level, and a BBQ Guru bulk head in the firebox.
