Thanks for posting this. Yours is the only video on this I'm finding. Good review - I just ordered one for myself.
Thanks again!
No problem glad how liked it. Thanks for watching.
Nice vid James, can't wait for the brisket cook on the new grates...keep'um coming...
Thanks man nor can I. Been a long time since I done a Brisket
Thank you for the great video! I just got this for my Oklahoma Joes Lonhgorn Offset! Cant wait, this sealed my purchase!
You will love it, It provides so much extra space.
New sub here 👍 I know this is late but very timely on my part, wife is getting me one of these for Christmas and for the budget this smoker fits the bill perfectly. Glad to find out about this mod cause that is one of my concerns, thanks and I’ll be riding along with you on this smoking journey 😎
Thanks for thr sub this is my favorite mod for this pit. It's perfect and holds up well.
I have bought their tuning plate, charcoal basket and sealing/latch kit. Love all of it! This and the heavy duty firebox might be my next investment🤔
Nice I was just looking at the fire box as well
@@BackyardSmoke614 it definitely looks bigger and heavier. I just wonder for $350, that the temp management/burning efficiency is that improved🤔
Great video bro! Thanks for putting a link in the description I may have to buy myself with Joe with this expansion kit.
Yeah this kit really makes it better
Excellent video, I liked and subscribed. I probably will get this mod, I like the diamond grid much more than the rack system. I especially like the way you chapterized your video. I have wanted for some time to do a vid, but there are just so many out there, why bother. I'm grateful your video came up in suggested vids, I'm going to watch your other ones. Thanks
Thanks for watching man. It's a great accessory. I love the extra space. 🍻
Very cool expansion rack and looks like no tools needed for assembly. Excellent video, sir! 👍
Indeed Im happy with it, No tools was a best part. Can't wait to cook on it this weekend.
Where did you order the expansion rack?
I didn't know about this mod!! Thanks for the video. I just ordered one for myself. Good lookin' out! 🍗🥩🌭🍔
Thanks man you will love it. Tip I learned after posting is if you flip the bottom grate you will gain just a little over half in of head room. Also for me the fit waa better.
It's great mod I love it when I do parties.
Nice video. I have the same, like many folks, but due to the baffle that's installed I had to grind down the ends of the holders to make it fit.
Thanks, After the video another owner tip me off that if I flipped the bottom grate i would gain an extra .5 of an in. So i did that and the bottom grate also fit flush. Cant wait to cook on it.
great addition to the pit James ... love it
Thank you sir, funny I just watched your smoke meatball video the other day. Great video and channel. By the way
I've had this rack for about 2 years now and the only thing I cook on the top rack is chicken and sausage. The heat is the actual temperature that your gauges read because it right top and near the exhaust. It gets real hot on that top rack great for crispy skin on your chicken.
I need to try that. I may spatchock a bird this weekend, thanks for the tip.
throw some corn up there
@@donoho93 yeah i did that last weekend
Looks like a great addition thanks for sharing !
Thanks man appreciate you taking the time to watch
Ohhh, I didn’t even know something like this existed. This is awesome!
Thanks I can't wait to start cooking on it again.
Well, you're a woman, so you probably wouldn't. 😂😂 I just said that to get a rise out of you. Sorry, just having fun, you know how we do as men and women. Lol don't let this ruin your day ok.
Kept reading thru and the website.great video👍
Thanks man much appreciated
Awesome video man! Subbed !!
Much appreciated Colin thanks
I just installed ours. Had to grind the stands so the lower rack would lay flat. After that it works pretty good. Seasoned it in and then made some chicken wings. Your video was good.
Awesome job. I actually flipped mine upside down got and extra I'm.
Thanks for watching
looking to buy the mods before I buy my Highland, just so its not such a big hit on pocket book......this is great, will definitely be getting this mod.....great video, thanks homie!!
Thanks for taking the time to check it out man it's my favorite mod for the OKJ
Awesome addition!
Thanks Man I love it, 3x using it and its makes a huge difference
That looks like a great upgrade. No tools necessary for instillation.
Nope that's the best Simple and easy
I knee I wanted the diamond grates. The fact I get doubled layer and fits my smoker I am so pumped
The double grates have been amazing. So much extra space. You won't regret it.
So cool! Thanks for sharing
Thank Lisa. Hope all is well
I got two sets from the gentlemen that originally fabricated these and I asked him to include handles on the racks. I believe and hope he sold the Idea to BBQ smoker mods.
Man that's what I'm lacking is the handles. I may weld some on myself. So far not an issue love the rack to death
@@BackyardSmoke614 I agree it made a big difference. I actually sold one of my Highland Smokers because of the additional racks. It was quite profitable! :>)
Badass, I can't wait to see what your first meat is to cook.
Thanks man
Yay he’s back lol
That is a cool mod. I always wanted to expand my Joe, but now it's just about worn out lol.
I need to use mine more I spend so much time on my WSM I feel bad. The OK Joe is a great smoker.
They are finally back in stock.
Awesome. They go in and out alot
I don't get why Oklahoma Joe just doesn't make the smoker with two racks like Char-Griller but this is a great mod.
I agree. Having two racks is a game changer for this pit
looks like that bottom shelf could benefit from a little bit of hammer violence on the left side, but still seems like a good mod. love to hear the kids in the background
Thanks man yeah the rubber mallet had to nudge it it. Funny a gentleman from a FB group let me know if I flipped the bottom grate I would get a bit more head room, so that the plan today.
@@BackyardSmoke614 Hey.... I was looking for the guy that does this mod.. Can you give me his or her contact info?
@@ronaldjohnson6696 here you go my man www.bbqsmokermods.com/
great video! What are the dimensions of the racks?
I wonder is these work on Old Country BBQ pits like the pesos and Brazos!
Not sure but I would email just to be safe.
Will this fit an old country pecos offset smoker? Does anyone know? They seem to have the same dimensions.
Who knew? Looks awesome and thanks for sharing this. I have a question....is the fire basket worth getting.? What difference is there between it and not having it? Thanks again!!
yeah it truly make cooking on this pit much easier and more fun. Yes the basket is worth it. It help hold he coals closer together, and with the a smaller fall through gap i dont lose big chucks to the ashes sooner. basically I only have to toss on 1 split per 50min of cook.
@@BackyardSmoke614 thanks. I'll look into the basket
Where did you order those grills
What kind of box do you have inside the wood chamber? I like that insert
A steel firebox I found it on Amazon work well I love it
Can you provide the dimensions for the stands? I've found the dimensions for the racks online, just not the stands. Thanks!
What is the measurement of the top rack?
Nice! Can the bottom shelf slide in and out?
Thanks unfortunately it cannot.
@@BackyardSmoke614 thank you. awesome set up
Will that bottom grate get in the way of the baffle that goes against the firebox? Or will it have to be removed. Thanks
Hey Juilian, I have heard it may and I have heard it will not, Since I don't use the baffle I cannot attest to this. but the people at bbqsmokermods.com are very responsive via email. I would reach out to them to get the best answer.
I was wondering where did you get the barbecue mods two tier grate for the Oklahoma joe hollander?
Link to the expansion rack is in the description.
Your bottom grate isn't level. High on the lower left side. I highly recommend the Baffle heat tuning plate and the fire basket. It will change your cook tremendously!!
Yeah we noticed that I'd was an east fix error on my part. I do have the fire basket love it.
@@BackyardSmoke614 The Tuning Plate makes it easier to maintain your temp. Cooks even and thorough!! Try it you'll be glad you did!!
Do you know if this is the same size smoker as the chargriller competition pro looking to this to mine
Sorry I dont
Would this still fit if you have the smoke stack lowering kit installed?
I'm not sure I don't have the smoke stack. I'm sure you could email the company and they would know.
I made that myself for cheaper with handles so you can pull it out
Awesome, wish I had the skills to weld. I may have a friend weld handles on.
Will this work on the longhorn too?
I don't think so
When you first installed the bottom rack it did not look level to me. Left looked higher than the right. Did it level out?
It did that was a error on my part. But even better another subscriber suggested I flip it and gain even more clearance on the bottom. 💥 I know run it flipped and it's still flush.
@@BackyardSmoke614 That looks similar to the Camp Chef jerky rack system I have for my Camp Chef 24 Deluxe 24 pellet grill. Yours is a whole lot sturdier and more durable. Mines pretty cheap and flimsy. Unfortunately, living in an apartment, I can get away I can get away with a pellet grill/smoker but not one like yours. Grill on.
Does anybody know where I can get this expansion rack from I. The uk please ? For the highland

Can you repost the link? I dont see it.

Has anybody tried this on an old country pit?
I would email the manufacturer.
I can’t find the link🤷♂️
Here you go bbqsmokermods.com
Why does it look like ur bottom rack is on an angle left to right??
User error, I needed to align it better. However I learned if you flip the bottom rack you can gain 1in of space with it awesome for larger pork butts or briskets
What model Oklahoma joe is that?
Highland
@@BackyardSmoke614 how can you tell what you have? Can’t read the serial numbers on mine! Too small. Thanks

Thanks bro!
Repost link, please and thank you
Does not work on reverse flow
I don't think so
The bottom rack doesn't seem to fit perfectly.
It's does had to re align it.
Also a member of the Oklahoma Joe Facebook group suggested fliping it and you gain 1 in. By doing that I get a flush fit with out having to muscle it in.
Doesnt fit with baffle
Bottom rack not in all the way. Try flipping it over...
Had to take the rubber mallet to tap it in. But I agree Flippin it over was best gave me a few extra inches. Will do a quick update video on that soon
