Burn Off Oklahoma Joe's Rider DLX
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 бер 2020
- In this video I do a Burn Off on the Oklahoma Rider DLX. So far this cooker has been crushing out all the protein you feed it. I am very happy with how this has preformed and I can say it is one of the best bang for your buck variety pellet grills on the market today! Now I do have some issues with the sticker but Oklahoma Joe's told me that they have fixed this issue so hopefully moving forward purchasers will have less of a headache getting that inside label off the lid. It might help if you are in a cold climate to heat up the chamber a little before you try taking it off or get a hairdryer and help it a long! Thanks for watching and make sure you check out the link below, this cooker should be on everyone's radar!!

I just built my Oklahoma Joel’s DLX after watching your video on how to build it. Thanks for that! I will do the burn off tomorrow morning. Thanks for all you do. It was very helpful!!
You're welcome Ed and have fun with that cooker!! I love mine and it does a pretty good job! It has a few issues but overall a very good cooker that seems to get better as they are continuing to make small adjusts to it on the production line!! Have fun and get some protein in that beast ASAP!! Have a great weekend!
I finally got around to unwrappin one of these yesterday, and boy am I glad I clicked this video! I was driving myself INSANE with the damn sticker!!
That stick is still one of the worst I ever ran into. Thanks for watching!
You’ve convinced me for my first pellet grill. Thank you.
Awesome! I have been very pleased with the Rider so far!! So versatile, I grilled brats on it last night on it. First time for anything, I always do brats on my Weber kettle. For the money and the options this rig is awesome! Don’t forget to check back with me and tell me how you are doing with it! Oops thanks for watching and leaving a comment!
Awesome! I’m picking this pellet grill up next Tuesday! I can’t wait. Thanks for all the awesome videos.
Awesome Ed!! Have fun with it and it certainly is a beast so you can fit a lot of food in it!!! Enjoy your new cooker!!!
That’s a well balanced review Ricer and it does look like a great cooker! Those legs came out great. And the fact that they listen on the sticker feedback shows they’re interested in improving. All in all awesome video and smoker cooker!
Ya it can do a lot for a pellet grill that is for sure! Oklahoma Joe’s seem to be very open to honest suggestions and I am very happy with this pit so far!! Thanks for watching bro, I really appreciate it!!
Thx sir,1 day I'll seriously look into getting a pellet smoker. The bloopers and the red shoe did it for me...😂😂😂. Thx again...👍
Hahaha those are my last years coaching shoes and now they are my BBQ slippers!! hahaha Thanks for watching Steve!
Nothing like setting and using a new grill! Can't wait for more videos of cooks on it Ricer!
Coming soon Bimp!! Like always bro thanks for watching!! Be safe dude!
Great video, I watched it as I was setting mine up!
Awesome Jon!!! Have fun bro and it is a pretty solid cooker! There is an Oklahoma Joe's Rider Facebook group you might want to join to get even more info from other users!?!?! Thanks for watching and I hope you have a great week!
I got one 2 weeks ago. Waiting for my sail shade to arrive before I put it together. I am in Minnesota. I don't like getting beat down by the sun. Great video man!
Awesome have fun and hope you have some great cooks!!!
Just purchased this smoker/grill yesterday. Just found your channel today. Yesterday, I did my burn off but wish I had seen your video before now. I thought it was burning hot and didn't know how to calibrate the thermostat...tomorrow, I will open the stacks a little bit as my smoker was the floor model and I bet they tightened those suckers....and then I will order a ink bird wireless thermometer and test it out.
I just upgraded from a elect smoker to this and am excited to use it!
Awesome Rhonda!! This is a very nice cooker for sure!! My advice is that mine runs from the pit to the controller about 50 degrees hotter that what the pit temp probe says. The other thing I suggest you dump and burn out the remaining pellets in the auger after hotter cooks. Other than that this thing does a great job and I have been very please with its performance!! Enjoy and this will certainly give a fantastic flavor to your cooks!! Thanks for joining the Dead Broke BBQ family!! Be safe!
Another great video on the Rider DLX!
I have done a few cooks on mine now & it has worked great thus far....
I see a front shelf mod coming for myself in the near future.
Awesome! Ya I am enjoying this cooker a lot! So far been very happy with what has come off it! I agree a bigger shelf would be nice! Thanks for watching bro!
My temperatures were doing the same thing, thanks for the tip!
Ya great cooker but I just run the setting one spot lower now so if I want to run at 275° I set it at 250°, Thanks for watching and subscribing to the channel!! Have fun this weekend!!
Can't wait to see more of these videos! Nice job Sir.
Thanks Dash and I got 2 cooks in the editor right now! The next one will be a pork rib video! Hope to get that edited by Thursday!! Like always br, I appreciate you watching!!
@@DeadBrokeBBQ Yes indeed... I'm just waiting patiently.
Hahahah thanks bro!! I've been needing a clone lately!! hahaha
Just purchased this model at Lowe's with cover for $395 and can't wait to try mine out and definitely season mine up like you did with yours
Great price for a pretty good entry level pit!!! Have fun with it!!!! Thanks for watching!
Great video Ricer! Test cook looked like a breeze, thanks for sharing brother!👍
Thanks Craig! So far so good and I have been very satisfied with everything I have cooked on it! Thanks for watching bro!
Brand new to the Oklahoma Joe world
Appreciate the video , good info for starters
Thanks for watching and I hope you watch ,my other videos as well!! ha ha
Yours is the only video that I have found that talks about adjusting the stacks to set the temperature. Most just talk about the inconsistency of the temperature
Hey thanks ya I messed with them and they are a lot closer than what temp difference I was having at first. Thanks for watching!
Man does that look good :3 Thanks for posting - TinyTrainTrack
It is a great cooker so far! Thanks for watching!! Be safe!
Ricer, Good stuff brother. I do love the OJ just never saw the Pellet. Looking forward to more cooks.
Thanks Tom and so far been very pleased with how everything has turned out! I appreciate you stopping by and leaving a comment bro! Be safe!!
Both my Side Smoker and my Propane grill has to be retired in the same week! Pellet grill is my dream rig for the versatility, looking forward to my wife getting me the Rider 600 for Father’s Day haha! Great video man
Hahahaha very nice!! Great cookers for sure!! Thanks for watching and I hope you have a great Memorial Day!
Man that’s a cool look’n cooker Ricer. Dig that sear area too. Cheers brother
Ya it is massive! Thanks for watching dude! Be safe out there and I really appreciate you stopping by and leaving a comment dude!
I have one, it was great for about a year. Now I’m rebuilding it. Love everything but the maintenance. I seen you put an accuses door on the new model, great move. I’m kicking myself in the ass for not doing the warranty. I’m thinking about attaching a wood side box on it if doesn’t act right. Well built smoker.
Looks like a great cooker, looking forward to seeing you do some more cooks
Thanks Rick and yes it sure is cranking out some great product so far! All cook videos coming for a while now! Be safe and I appreciate you watching!
Great video. Like the new cooker. I like the fact that it has the 275 degree setting, unlike the Austin XL.
Yes I agree Claude! So far been very pleased with it and got a lot more to do with it! Thanks for watching brother! Be safe!!
That's smart with the temp set up!!
Thanks!! I think you are referring to the cap adjustments?? Now it still fluctuates some but for the most part it seems to hold more even a cross now that I adjusted them some! Thanks for watching and be safe!!
Just picked up my Oklahoma Joe at Lowe's today $280 steal of a price thanks. For the review!
Great price Travis!!! Have fun just make sure you dump those pellets, this pit likes to have auger jams sometimes!!! Thanks for watching!
Great video Ricer, thanks!
Thank you!! I really appreciate you watching and leaving a comment! Take care and be safe!!
great info!
Thanks for watching!
Very cool Burn off video Ricer!
Thanks Kevin and congratulations on hitting 1k brother!!
That’s a great review I’m really happy with my Oklahoma Joe’s here in Idaho I only paid 375 + tax 👍🏽
Nice job Jamie!! Good pit just watch the augur jams. I got in the habit of always dumping and burning out the pellets! Thanks for watching!!
Rad video man!
Thanks dude! A lot more to come on this cooker! Can't wait to get the next video up in the editor! Be safe bro!
I have the Pit Boss 1000sc from Menards. I use it a lot and really like it, no problems at all. I've been looking at the Oklahoma Joe because of the features it has. I'm a bit nervous about buying one because of some bad reviews when my Boss works so well.
Well I have had 1 issue with an auger jam and they felt it was a bad igniter and sent me a new one. After I replaced it mine has ran like a champ but I still dump the pellets after every high temp cook. Now I like the cooking chamber a lot more than my pit boss and I love that sear zone. Over all if I had to choose from just 1 I would take the Rider just because of the chamber it self! Hope this helps Dave!?!? Thanks for watching!!
My brother-in-law has a pit boss. Has used it for a couple of years n never had problems with it , but I have an Oklahoma joes, and have not been able to do one single cook, it just doesn’t crap n I won’t work at all
Looks like a solid unit! Congrats on the new Cooker!
Thanks Tom and so far so good! Seems to be a very versatile cooker at a reasonable price! I appreciate you stopping in and leaving a comment!! Stay safe bro!
I used a heat gun on that sticker. Just got mine last Saturday. I like this thing so far.
Awesome brother! Glad that it worked!! I like mine also! I have lately just started to to dump and burn out the auger after every hotter temp cook. Other than that this rig just cooks!! Keep me posted on your progress! Thanks for leaving a comment!
Hello from park Falls wi, I just bought a rider dlx before I found this video I love mine do far.
My phone changed so to do
Howdy Josh!! Welcome to the Dead Broke BBQ family!! I like mine also and got a few more cook videos coming on it soon! Thanks for watching!!
All good!! Have a great week brother!!
Just got my new OK joe DLX rider, I did find that I got the newer model, no problems with the decals.
Awesome Cameron!! The Rider is a super cool cooker for sure!! Have a great 4th and have fun!!!!
Great video. Where can I buy those barbecue gloves?
You got some great lookin’ legs! The Rider looks like a great choice for pellet grills. I really like that dial knob to set it with. Looks way better than buttons or a key pad or the little small radio dial knobs that some pellet cookers have.
That control knob looks like it’s in control!
I really liked the bluegrass music when you put the chicken on. One of my issues with pellet grills is the noise they make a lot of them are really loud. So loud that neighbors can not only smell what you are barbecuing but they can hear it. How loud (much noise) does this OK Joe have compared to other pellet grills that you have experienced?
Also the adhesive on the labels, especially the inside one appears to be serious stuff!
Thanks Lew!! Yes I like the big dial also but I wish I could have more control at the tempetkres I could pick but that type of controller would add some serious cost to this cooker. The Rider is quieter than the Pit Boss and the Traeger that I have used. Might have something to do with the heavier built chamber?!?! Yes the sticker was an issue but the Rep said they have addressed it so moving forward it should be a lot easier to take off. If I would have just thought to run it a bit to heat it up some I think it would have came off a lot easier. First time I have had a sticker on the inside of a pit though. So far Lew I really like this cooker and I honestly think for the money it has to be one of the best options out in the market right now!! Thanks for watching bro and stay safe!!
I'm from Wisconsin and I'd buy a grill whenever needed. I use mine year round!
Yep me too but that sticker sucked! hahaha Thanks for watching fellow Wisconsinite!
Nicely done Ricer ! Looks like a nice pit ! Now get to cooking ! Lol !
Hahahaha thanks Kent! I got 2 videos just waiting to edit! This sure is a nice cooker and like always thanks for watching bro!! Be safe!
Thanks my guy
You bet and thanks for watching!
Awesome review Ricer. I think this will be my first pellet grill.
Awesome Richard! Trust me you will be happy with this pit!! There are other models also!! Thanks for watching bro!!
Folks, I've seen many great video reviews on the Rider DLX but I've tried two of them in the last 4 months and both were basically a 400 pound paperweight. Quality control is Oklahoma Joes biggest problem. Their products are sourced and built in CHINA. The first attempt was a total wreck as nothing on the grill was originally assembled properly. The door hung crooked and was almost 3/4 inch off leaving openings in the corners and was not fixable without welding. The hopper door rubbed against the body of the grill and was not adjustable. The handle used to dump the pellets was completely jammed. I did get am email from OJs wanting to help me fix the hopper release, completely ignoring the assembly issues. I posted a review with photos OJ website. I returned that grill, but because I thought I did my homework I bought a second one thinking there's no way I can get two bad ones. Well, I had the second for about a month. Everything seemed to be working fine. This last Sunday I started the grill and went in to finish prepping two racks of pork ribs. Went back out to check the grill and the temperature read 134 degrees. After poking around I learned that the grill was cooling down because the auger quit. There were no pellets moving or burning. Its my opinion that you have a 50/50 chance every time you turn on this paperweight that it will work properly. If you like troubleshooting or disassembling your grill as opposed to cooking on it get a Rider DLX. Donna I feel your pain.
Sounds like you have the luck of the Irish, not. Mine has ran great and I use it all the time off camera also. I did have to replace the ignitor but other than that mine runs like a champ. Well there are few American made pellet grills made but not for $600. So for an entry level pellet grill the Rider is still a great cooker but there has been a few people that have had issues with theirs. Have a great week and good luck on your hunt for the next cooker!
I had to replace the motor, other than that, mechanically the only problem is constant jamming.
Mines a pile of shit , you can’t adjust the temp . Once it starts it will hold temp . But if you adjust it after it’s hit the set temp she just goes full boar and 500 degrees . Used it 3 times , 3 failed cooks .
I used a heat gun on the inside sticker, heat up and peeled it off pretty good
I used a hairdryer and I was doing this to show that they needed to change the adhesive so others don't have this issue! Thanks for watching!!!
Nice video buddy. Good looking chicken
Thanks Jake! Ya those legs turned out pretty dang good! Very excited to share more cooks off this pit!! Be safe dude and see you on the show tonight!
Char is where it’s at bro. Nice cook.
Ya if it ain’t charred up a little it is like oven baked to me! Haha thanks for watching Adam and stay safe bro!
Just bought mine and the sticker on the inside was there, and the same obstacle
YA, I hate stickers!!! Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the video! Has anyone noticed paint/ finish loss on bottom of the DLX, ? Used mine just one time and I've got paint dropping off of bottom. Maybe I'm being too Ricky! Thanks , Dav
Well it took over a month for mine to start but I do have a little peeling right next to the ash cleanup. Oh well just got to clean it up a little and add some high temp paint to one little spot of spray it down with some oil. So it does happen. Thanks for watching and I hope you have a great week David!
Great video as usual!!! But dang!!! I’m getting use to cooking one the Pit Boss...but now you gotta new toy to play with!!!! I don’t have the money nor the space to get the Oklahoma Joes toy. Besides my better half would kill me. Will you be doing anymore recipes on your Pit Boss?
Thanks for watching Red!! Yes eventually I will do some more cooks on the Pit Boss but for right now I will be cooking on the Rider. You can still follow the recipe with the Boss, just might not be exactly the same way. Thanks for watching brother and be safe out there!
My first ever grill. Moved to Australia two years ago and just got a new house. Thought we might get something for weekend cookouts... starting to think I might have bitten off more than I can chew
You got this!! Great pit just make sure you dump the pellets and burn the remainder out in the auger. Because this one can jam up in the next cook. Put it to work but no fear just takes practice!! Thanks for watching!
Moved to Australia from Broward County, Florida in 2011. Moved from Killara to Minnesota in 2017. Just set up this awesomeness today and did the burn off. Going to read Smoke House Handbook and The Brisket Chronicles for ideas. This thing is HUGE!!! Do not put it together in your living room like I did!!! Ha ha ha!
Nice vid
Thanks bud!
Future advice try a 3M Eraser wheel on a drill it’ll knock that sticker off no problem 15 minutes tops!!
Hey now that sounds awesome!! Thanks for the tip!!!! I appreciate you leaving that comment!! Be safe!
Any input on the rider DLX vs camp chef woodwind?
IMO I would go with the Camp Chef. Thanks for watching! I do have some Camp Chef reviews coming soon!
I switch to alvocodo oil non toxic and super high heat resistance
9-14-20 My stickers came right off
Awesome Gary and great advice for others that see this in the chat!! Thanks for sharing!
I ended up watching this even though I've had one for about a week now and really like it
However, I've had a few serious issues. This morning I when to start a smoke at 6am with it being around 29F outside when I tried the control knob it was a little stuck at first but I got it to move. It turned out that the internal rotary switch connections must have froze and broke, because the only the controller would take change temps was by shorting the switch connections on the circuit board.
Luckily thanks to the good customer service they plan on sending me a replacement controller soon
Since you said you have worked with it in the cold weather have you had any problems with it yet?
Another issue I had while doing a long brisket smoke was multiple grease fires starting on that steel cover over the burn chamber. I don't know if its bad design or if I just didn't put the brisket in the right place something
Wow that is not a great start! I had a couple issues. New controller because the LED went out and hotrod because I was having some crazy heat swings. After that is ran pretty dang good! Thanks for watching!!
I just bought mine this weekend and had to heat the smoker up to remove sticker on the inside
Dang!! Well that means it is from the an earlier production run. They have changed the adhesive to that sticker now but hey great job on heating it up!!! Thanks for watching and enjoy this cooker! If you run in to issues contact Customer Service right away. I have replaced a couple things on mine but they got me the parts very quickly!
Yummy 😋
Thanks for watching Michael!!
Could you add burn off and clean up on the Oklahoma Joe's Rider 900 pellet grill
Sorry I do not have that pit and to buy one for a couple videos is not cost effective unfortunately for me. Just get a nice little shop vac and get out the ash and scrape out any grease every 2 or 3 cooks. Thanks for watching Harry!
Thanks for da great videos eh? I wish I could type yooper, it would be a limited crowd. Hey anyhow, what's your take on cleaning? I couldn't be more on the fence on which one to buy. I almost bought a Camp Chef today until I found out their "zero percent" financing for 3, 6, or 12 months was B.S. To their defense, it's the finance company who gets ya hooked then says "the zero percent is for 3 or 6 month terms". There is no zero percent for 12 months. They sneak in the fine print that it's 28% interest for 12 months. That's a 175 bucks i could use on meat bro! Took a DLX apart at the Farm store. just a little concerned about all the moving parts in the middle versus the one plate on the camp chef. Your thoughts?
Well the sear & smoke baffle seems so far to work pretty decent. I think there will be some wear and tear on it eventually. Now I do like the design and how it works. The sear zone is ginormous and it produces some very high temps which makes this a grill and a smoker. I have a lot more testing to do on it but everything that has come off it so far has turned out great. So if you are looking for a cooker that is versatile the Rider DLX sure does off many different options and a good bang for your buck. Hope this helps and thanks for watching!!
Hey dude, seriously important question before I put money down on an O.J. like this - can you do burgers on it? When you flip the center to sear mode, does the whole grill get hot enough to do burgers in a fairly normal time? Thanks! :-)
Like I said in the other one just wait for the OK Rider Gen 2. They fixed a couple of the issues the old version had!!
I'm looking for a pellet smoker. Which do you recommend Traeger or Oklahoma Joe or pit boss? Or do you have a better one in mind?
Well Steven it depends on your budget. All 3 of these are good pellet smokers. The Rider has a serious sear zone but all of them smoke pretty much the same. It is kind of a flip the coin and what Logo do you like the best! Have a great week!!
Hey, great video. How long does it take to reach top temperature?
Thanks Chyron! I maxed it out a couple days ago and it said over 700 degrees. It took around 30 minutes but I will do a real time test on that in the future when I do some steaks on it! I appreciate you watching!! Be safe!!
Would it be a better idea to spray with oil and then put in the heat deflector so it doesn't get as dirty as fast?
It don't matter I guess but the heat deflector gets dirty all the time so it really doesn't make a difference. Thanks for watching!
@@DeadBrokeBBQ valid point. follow up question... "Why spray it with oil? its not cast iron, its steel."
Also, GoPackGo!
So if I'm understanding you right... open the chimney to lower the heat and close to raise? Still trying to get my Ryder 600 Dialed in after years with a Weber kettle where opening vents raised the temp!
Yes if you close a vent the heat will stay in there and open it the heat escapes. Pellets are controlled with a fan on the fire pot so it is different than opening a vent. to get more air flow over the flame. Now that is for the DLX. On my Pellet Pro that fan is controlled and blows harder if the the temp lowers and stops if it reaches temp. Thanks for watching!!
@@DeadBrokeBBQ THANKS MY MAN! I love the videos, I've learned more from you in just a few days than a lifetime of owners manuals would have ever taught me. Your DLX video is the reason I bought an OK JOE!
Awesome Randy!! Glad to hear you are having fun!!! I really like the DLX but it does have a few issues on some of them but a simple call to customer service can usually get the problem fixed and you are right back in business!! Thanks for watching my videos and I got a couple more for the Rider coming soon but remember you can run my recipes on any cooker but I typically talk about that exact cooker to help the new people to using it!!! Have a great weekend brother!!
Hey so I did my first today and on the middle ring in smoke setting it had flames coming up? Is that normal because the steak juices dripped on the heat shield?
Yes there will be flare ups on steaks depending on the heat you are pushing. But low n slow I haven’t had any flare ups on smoke. That sear zone in not air tight when set to smoke if that was the case your smoke would only be on the outside.
Just bought mine..and it’s been raining three days straight and it’s killing me not being able to fire her up. Is there a certain brand pellets you prefer?
Well I like Premium Cookinpellets or Lumber Jack Pellets but I am bias because they are Wisconsin companies. But if I need a bag or 2 and I don't have time to go get these kinds I pick up some Pit Boss Pellets. Have fun Dave and more videos coming soon! Thanks for dropping by and be safe!
I'm on my second Oklahoma Joe DLX grill. It runs the first time and cooks beautiful. 2nd time it will not advance the augur..please any help will be appreciated. The company will not answer calls. Thanks Donna.
Hi Donna it sounds like you have an auger jam which is caused by some burn back of the pellets in the auger. Here is a video from Dan to help you clear it. ua-cam.com/video/YZQyVLad0Dc/v-deo.html Here is what I do so I don’t ha e to worry about burn back jams. As the cook is done I dump the pellets turn the Rider up to high grilling and burn out the remainder of the pellets in the auger for 10 mins and then I turn it to cool down. Yes it is extra work but much less than removing the hopper. Hope this helps and the Rider is a cooking beast but there need to be some type of adjustment to the control. Have a great weekend!
Can you do a long cook on the Rider? Like a pork butt or a brisket? I've seen reports that this thing has flair ups. I want to see if it's a one off experience or if it's a true problem
Sure Greg! 1st cook is a couple racks of ribs on the middle warming rack with a water pan underneath it. 2nd cook is beef ribs on the middle warming rack with no water pan. Both cooks were successful and I have a pork butt in the fridge and that will go right above the firepot on the main grate. So that will be coming soon but takes me sometime to get the videos edited! Thanks for watching and I appreciate you leaving a comment!
@@DeadBrokeBBQ You're awesome dude. Thanks for the great content. Your commentary is legendary and I hope to see more from you in the future. Keep up the great work man.
Did the blanket come w the grill or did you purchase it separately ???
Oklahoma Joe's sent me everything to do a honest review on it. They sell the covers online. Thanks for watching and subscribing to the channel! Have a great week!
Ricer, enjoy the vids. OKJ says vegetable oil. What’s reason for avocado oil? Thanks
No real difference. just avocado has a higher burn temp but I used it because that is what I typically have on hand. Thanks for watching and have fun with the Rider!!
I just bought an Oklahoma Joe on Black Friday. The stickers haven't changed.😢
Dang!!! Well I hope that someday they learn. Thanks for watching!
I might get a Rider dlx
It is a very nice pit dude! I suggest you get one, you can thank me later! Be safe brother!
how is total cleanup time on pitboss vs okkahoma joe dlx thks.
I can do that for you Larry!! Have a great weekend!!
That inner sticker was a bitch even down here in Arizona!
Dang----ya they changed it now so at least the ones being made should be easier! But hey they are taking suggestions from their customers and that is always good to hear! Thanks for watching and be safe!
I'm not sure this is a good question, or that it actually makes a difference or matters, but have you seen a difference in the heat deflector setup? I feel like the flat deflector style type you see lik in the pitmasters and others might give you a larger better heat source and dispersion, but at the sacrifice of a high heat sear ability, have you seen anything like that?
Well from the low N slow cooks I have done so far Keven I have not used the lower grate yet but I will be doing a pork butt soon. Unfortunately you won't see that video for a few weeks. I got other cooks that are coming on video first. For the whole chamber I will say it has the same cooking temps as other like my Pit Boss. Now I always rotate on my protein so stuff gets done all around the same time on any cooker I use. So far this cooker is the most versatile on the market and it is priced to sell. Great question bro! Take care and be safe!!
I am trying to figure out if I want the Oklahoma Joe's DLX or the Pitboss. Can you please tell me which you liked better and any issues you may have had with either.
The Ok Joe is more evenly temped in the chamber compared to the Pit Boss. The Pit Boss I never had an auger jam but I have had one on the Rider. But with that being said it happened after an extremely high temp cook at over 675° and that was blazing hot for a pellet grill!! I got some burn back and I think the cool down is not really long enough so when I cook high temp I just dump and burn out my auger tube of pellets now. There are way more accessories for the Rider and my guess more coming. So if I had to pick just one for both grilling and smoking I am going to lean towards the Rider DLX but I have cook a tom of protein on the Pitt Boss and it never failed to satisfy!! Hope this helps Dan!! Thanks for watching and have a great week!
@@DeadBrokeBBQ Thanks for the help. I can not wait to start smoking!!😀
Awesome Dan!! Have fun and with some practice you only get better!
Great review! Just earned a new sub!
What about the juices and sauce dropping down in that fire pit? Any grease fires?
Thanks Jeff! Just minor little quick flare ups but nothing even close to what I get when I grill chicken on charcoal!! I appreciate you watching and welcome to the Dead Broke BBQ family!! Be safe!!
Dead Broke BBQ Thanks for responding! Stay safe!
Let mine sit in the 90 degree F sun and the sticker came right off.
Nice!!! Glad you didn't have the same task as I did!! hahaha Thanks for watching!!
I was about 2 buy the pit boss 1100 but now i see this Oklahoma joe i acuity just bought it @ Lowe's today but haven't unboxed it yet on your opinion do u think i made a decent choice i was all set on the pit boss xl even told them 2 pull me one from the shelf but the last minute i told them never mind grab me the joe instead i think i made the right decision especially since ive always wanted a joe bbq what are your thoughts.?
Hi Papa! I think you made the right choice. They are both good pellet grills and have similar features but the Rider is just a little better at the grilling part. Now one thing you should practice is on higher temp cooks dump the pellets and burn off the rest of them that are in the auger. Once I dump the pellets I just crank it up to high heat and this also helps burn off a little extra debris. Then as the temp starts to drop I turn it to the cool down mode. This step adds a little more time but better than an auger jam. Plus the hopper is a little smaller so you need to just check that a little more than on the 1100. Now if I had my choice to pick one I would pick the OK Joe simple because of the sear zone!! Have fun and be safe!!
@@DeadBrokeBBQ yeah I'm definitely staying with this the oak joe thanks for the tips i will use them also thanks for the great videos thumbs up all day from me.
@@DeadBrokeBBQ How does the Sear Mode on the OK Joe compare to the Flame Broiler on the Pit Boss? Really liking the looks of Pit Boss Navigator series that just came out too.
I like what the sear better on the OK Joe compared to my Pit Boss 1100. But I got decent sear off the 1100 but the OK Joe sure does heat up!
How does it compare to a GMG Daniel Boone? Do you miss the 5° incremental temps?
I think it is compared the same as far as smoking but grilling the Rider is better. Yes i wish it had 5 degree increments but then this cooker wouldn't be priced around $600. Thanks for watching!
@@DeadBrokeBBQ heck ya! If my GMG ever dies, I might buy the Rider DLX. Who knows? By then Oklahoma Joe's may have upgraded their pellet grills by then.
@@DeadBrokeBBQ agreed. I think the GMG was around $500 but doesn't open for a searing feature. I'm tempted to buy the Oklahoma Joe's just for a grill.
Yep for sure!
The sear zone is very nice!
Are the fire box and splatter shield stamped steel or stainless steel?..
I would have to look at the fire pot but the heat deflector is stainless. There is a cover over the fire pot and that is steel but I think the pot itself might be stainless. Sorry been a while since I put this together and to get to the pot itself you got to take off the sear and smoke dampener. But for the most part this is pretty solid construction for a pellet cooker. Thanks for watching and have a great weekend!!
Thank you..considering buying a gorilla grill which is all stainless $1000(alpha).saw this one at menards and couldn't find out the information i was asking you about. O.j. is like a $400 savings. Iam a quality over quantity guy.living in the state of Michigan. Rust belt... thank you
Well as far as pellet cookers the OK Joe is solid and a tank. The controller is decent but hoping someday the go to a PID. I honestly use this cooker all the time!
Wings looked great! Did you say Orange sauce?
I actually used SuckleBusters Honey BBQ glaze and finishing sauce! Dang tasty with a great orangish shine!! Thanks for watching Chris!! Be safe brother!
Ok Big Ricer just got the smoker and have watched your burn off review several times... my question is I do not see any gasket lining on your OJ smoker.. do you recommend this now that you have spent more time with the smoker?
Also your review pushed me through on this purchase... Thanks Big R!
Awesome Orlando! I do not have a gasket on mice but it wouldn't hurt to add it if you want! Have fun and this cooker is pretty dang good. Like all of them they have flaws but nothing earth shattering!! Have a great weekend!!
@@DeadBrokeBBQ Man your review of the Rider was spot on and as you can see I changed my header pic to the 1 rack of spare ribs which were AWESOME! Picked up some of the rub you suggested! AWESOME! Keep it coming Ricer! Will get into the club bro got to pay you back for all of this deliciousness your given out! Oh yea got the pork butt going as I type! F__ AWESOME!
The chicken looked good, When is the side by side with the Pit boss😊
Not for a while but eventually I will put them together on a head to head challenge! Thanks for watching bro!
Yes. I would like to see a side by side with the Pit Boss pro series 1100. I haven't bought either of them. Help I'm stuck!
Unfortunately just got one and sticker issue is still present.
That stinks!! I was hoping they would change that!! Thanks for watching!!
I’m stuck between the OK Joe and the Pit Boss but I don’t think I can go wrong with either. I recently found the OK Joe for $599 at Walmart so I think I’m going with the OK Joe. Any input on the OK Joe vs the Pit Boss?
Really enjoy your content keep up the good work.
Haha scrolling through the comments I guess I wasn’t the only one in this dilemma. Going with the Joe.
Good luck Darrell and the only thing I will say is that I dump the pellet and burn out the remainder after every cook because I did have an auger jam with it. It is a great cooker with a huge amount of room! Thanks for watching!!
Thanks and ya I will be doing more videos on the Rider soon but for a little while I am doing some charcoal cooks again! Have a great weekend!!
Dead Broke BBQ thanks for the tip. I picked up the Joe yesterday and did the burn off, then smoked some St. Louis ribs.
We have just the same model brand new. We were so exited for it, but it doesn’t work. We still want to grill on it for the first time , the first time we invited guest for a brisket the ignitor was out. Then I ordered a new one , now again we bought I few sirloins for a birthday party and while all set and almost preheated the fuse burned out so I installed a new one right away n then after a few minutes the ignitor was out again. I would not recommend anybody to buy a Oklahoma joes smoker. It has disappointed me to much . I still have it garage all new, n I can’t cook with it .
You certainly got a lemon! Sorry dude! Mine is still running today. I gave this one to a very close friend and he runs his a couple times a week. Thanks for watching but time for you to give up on that pit bro!
Do you find this better than GMG Daniel boone?
I can not compare because I do not have a GMG. Sorry but hopefully some day I pick one up!!
Called a Oklahoma rep cause my auger jammed up. She said to empty auger every use so I’m wondering who’s right you saying no need to prime it every time or her that said empty auger every time
Believe her Jose. After I used mine about 10 times I did a hot n fast steak cook and the next time I tried to use it the auger was jammed. If you keep watching the journey of this pit with me you will hear me change my tune. So dump the pellets and burn out the remainder in the tube. Only real negative I have about this pit. Thanks for asking!!
You don’t have to put canola oil when you burn….. oh
Well honestly you don't even have to burn it off, just throw your chicken in there and feed the family, if you want but after owning around 100 different cookers in my 3 decades of bbq and grilling coating a pit with some canola oil creates that nice patina a 100 times faster and makes clean up a lot easier. Thanks for watching!
Save your money and purchase something that works. I purchased on 8/13 used twice quite. Contacted customer service after 7 weeks received replacement parts. Now a new error code. Customer Service giving run around on replacement. $600+ mistake.
I had 1 issue with mine but other than some temp swings it ran like a champ. I gave mine to a friend down on his luck last year and he has had zero issues. Sorry you had a bad experience with yours!
Awwwww sh?& time for some more videos
Awesome Kirk!! Thanks for watching bro!!
I would buy this grill because of its build quality except for the cheap and unreliable auger system.
I phoned the factory and asked about the auger jams and they said they will supply parts under warranty but no labour.
Oklahoma Joes put out a video how to tear their grill apart if you have issues.
It seems it is not if but when you will have auger jams and start up problems...who wants to be dealing with that on a weekend day when you have big plans for a get together with family and friends.. who wants to have grill parts strewn over their patio on a weekend when they are supposed to be grilling and having fun.
Only a two year warranty...it is almost a guarentee that after two years you will be paying for parts and labour to fix these things after the short warranty period....if Pit Boss can have a five year warranty then why can't Oklahoma Joes? The answer is these grills have inherent auger issues with cheap feed motors and plastic gears that jam and break down often.
Oklahoma Joes needs to step up and upgrade and fix these problems and come out and tell people what they have done to address the inherent problems with this grill and show they stand behind their product with a five year warranty showing they have done the work to make this grill a worthy purchase.
Until that happens I won't buy one and neither should anyone else.
They recommend cleaning out the pellet hopper and auger everytime you use it to prevent problems...that results in a 20 minute start up time which is unacceptable to most of us...our time is worth money too and that is unacceptable.
When I want to start my Pit Boss I go out, open the lid, push the power button, turn the dial to smoke, walk away for a few minutes to prepare my meat, come back, slap the meat on the grill, close the lid and walk away...less than 5 minutes and never a delay, never a failure, no fuss, no muss, no jams, no stripped gears, no spoiled party plans.
If Traeger, Pit Boss and many others can do it why can't Oklahoma Joes?
Oklahoma Joes grill has many features I like and I would buy it for those features but I won't buy it because of the jamming and stripping gear issues.
If Oklahoma Joes came out and said we have upgraded the feed auger motor and addressed the jamming issues and any other issues with cheap offshore components and said now we are so confident in the build quality and performance of our grill that we are prepared to supply a 5 year warranty...I would go out and buy one in a heart beat...until that happens I will never buy one that is going to give me trouble time after time because of cheap components or other design issues.
Step it up Oklahlma Joe...we want your grill but you need to #1. Fix it.. #2 stand behind your product with a five year warranty which will tell us we will be happy with your product, will not have start up or performance issues ...and.. you stand behind it!
Until you do that you will always be a runner up when in fact if you stepped up your game you could be a leader in the field.
Hire me....The DLX will be an industry leader in less than one year!..apparently, currently, you don't have the technical talent to achieve this or it would have already happened.
Best of luck to Oklahoma Joes...step up, take control and make this grill not only reliable but one of the most sought after pellet grills in the world!
I just posted the New Gen 2 Rider DLX assembly and soon I will be doing the burn off seasoning on it. They have updated the auger and a couple other features. The OG was their first pellet grill and not bad for their first. I had 2 jams but once I figured out to just dump the pellets and let a few burn out of the auger I never had any issues. But I have had other pits jam up before. My old Traeger Pro 22 did it and I have other people in the comments tell me their Pit Boss's jammed up too. But hopefully now with the bigger auger motor the DLX gen 2 will not have that issue anymore! Thanks for watching!
@@DeadBrokeBBQ Thanks for the reply....Oklahoma Joes makes a nice grill with many good features, they just have to make it reliable!
How does a person know if the model they are buying is a Gen II...do they label it as such?
sad to see a small hopper
Ya hopefully someday they bump that up tp 40lbs but it is still a pretty nice cooker! Thanks for watching!!
You should sing 🎤
Hahaha I might have to start practicing for next months BBQ Central Show!! Thanks for watching brother and be safe!
How much price Indian money
Please
$47,000 to 48,000 for this pit. Thanks for watching!
Thanks
Before you buy that thing you better check it out they had them at Lowe’s and it’s a real flimsy piece of crap
I will have to disagree with your flimsy comment, for an entry level cooker the Rider is a much heavier construction than my Pit Boss or the Traeger's I have used in the past. Now if you are comparing it to a YS640 or a Gator Pit pellet grill yes it is not as beefy as them but of course with your wide knowledge of pellet grills you know you can't sell one of those for $600. You might want to run this cooker through some tests so your comment actually has some factual information behind your professional opinion. The majority of the people that will read your comment are going to laugh at your scientific baseline of "went to Lowe's, it is flimsy" hahaha thanks for watching and be safe!!!
Made in china Nuff said...
Made in China
Yep like all of the other entry level pellet grills. Thanks for watching and maybe with all this corona stuff more companies will come back and manufacture here in the states!
@@DeadBrokeBBQ Yes it is a shame that we have let so much go overseas because of price. There are a lot of high quality options made in the USA but they also cost more..
Terrible smoker. I fully expect to just dump Cole In b4 it’s over.
Hahahah who is Cole? Poor guy. haha Thanks for watching!!
