    I’ve had my regular bronco for a little over a year now. I absolutely love it. Once I figured out how to run it and set up my fire I have been able to set it and forget it and it will hold temp as long as I don’t open the lid for hours.

    Excellent review. You hit just about all the key points. The grate handle is made so that it will hang on the wire handle so you don't have to put it on the ground. I've owned 5 kamados (currently a Big Joe). I have the standard Bronco and from my grilling/smoking experience I would suggest that Broncos do high-heat grilling/searing, low-and-slow and roasting better than anything I've tried (including kettles). If you get a second grate and put the firebox on that (versus the deflector plate) the coals will be just inches from the top grate and it will sear as well as any kettle. I store my hanger bars on the axle between the wheel and the body. The hooks live in the house as they should be kept clean after washing. Accessory hooks would be nice, I just added some to the handle and the shelf. My friend has a Bronco too and between us we went through 4 thermometers.... all junk. If you want accuracy get a TelTru. Finally, I run mine with a FireBoard controller and the temp won't vary much more than 1 or 2 degrees and can easily maintain 225 for 12 hours. Wish I had the Pro model but at $299 for the base model the value can't be beat! Thanks again for another well considered analysis.

    This smoker looks super well built. Definitely a step up from what WSM. After the Mods done to a WSM to be as versatile as the OK Joe you’ll end up paying more for the Weber.. Hinge, Door upgrade, Rib Rack, gaskets, wheels, handles, larger fire ring and defuser plate. Only Advantage to the WSM at that point would portability because it comes apart and Weight. There’s a OK Joe Pro orange near me at the Farm Store for $599.00 luckily I got my Weber’s for 375 new and a used one for 100 both in 22” if I were to pay retail I’d definitely buy a OK joe Pro and a small 14 WSM for portability

    Hi Keegan - excellent review, thank-you! I already own the standard sized Bronco. I'm very happy with it. Mine has an 18 and a quarter inch grate (yours is 22" right?). Mine doesn't have the problem you point out about the bolt causing the ring to be off center. They must have used the same sized feet down there - the standard bronco does not have that problem. Most everything else seems to be to relative scale (pro vs standard) except the charcoal basket. The pro has a very tall basket whereas the standard is short - it is likely designed to be deliberately short on the Standard to add value to the Pro. Obviously the tall basket allows a lot longer cook, plus you have the wider diameter. Regarding lighting, I like the way you spread the coals out before you put the meat on. I've had trouble with mine doing pin point lighting because sometimes the burn will spread off-center. Sometimes the burn will move to the left or right for some reason, rather than spread out evenly. This causes the heat to rise straight up and read different temps on the left vs right or the front vs back, etc., when you have your grate probe on the grate. You can feel the different temps by putting your hand at different places on the top of the closed smoker lid. It's not necessarily like a Weber grill where everything is the same. I've seen temp readings as far off as 80 F. 40 F is more typical. Sometimes they're close to the same. It just depends. So this can be a problem, right? Especially if your ring is off-center to begin with. So yeah, that's a design error, it seems. Of course, this can be resolved somewhat by spinning the grate during a cook, but that's kind of a pain. I am going to experiment some more with the lighting, but it could be your method of spreading the charcoal out over most of the grate solves the problem. BTW I have an aftermarket basket that is really deep like the pro. It goes all the way up to the heat plate. Apparently it will burn 32 hours. I love it. BTW, on the standard, you can purchase an extra shelf to replace the handle on the left side. I hope it's the same with the Pro. Two shelves is better than one. Thanks again.

    from my limited experience, it holds temp really well for a # of hours. You just have to keep an eye on it as it gets later in the cook and your charcoal starts to dwindle a little. Similar to other charcoal smokers, often the charcoal may burn through the middle or another spot, and you might have to re-arrange a little. I think you could hook up a temperature controller pretty easy if you wanted to, which would help with this.

    I will try to work that in... I do still own it. I do enjoy using it. My favorites are hanging ribs / chicken. Then also chicken on the grill grates. Really amazing chicken in my opinion.

    @@Searedandsmoked you seem to be the only credible KZreadr to review the Bronco. Your opinion matters to me. I bought one, should arrive Sat. Curious about hanging the meat without a deflector. My egg will bellow out nasty smoke if any chicken drippings fall into the charcoal. So I'll probably use the deflector it comes with. I appreciate your videos.

    They have horrible customer service. I'm waiting on the pit barrel cooker company's new 55 gallon drum that should be coming out soon. They have some of the best customer service I've experienced from ANY company.The pit barrel hooks are fine on mine I wonder if they sets of hooks have differing sharpness. I will say the joe's hooks are harder to clean. I don't know if it's inferior steel, but I can clean the gunkiest pit barrel hooks without much elbow grease which surprised me, the joe hooks seemingly has food stick to them a lot worse.

    Nice video, thank you. I ordered off Amazon with your affiliate link... but I'm not going to hold my breath that it will ship. It's not available most everywhere I look and it's no longer on their website. I'm wondering if the pro was discontinued. I wanted the Pit Boss drum because of the flip out fire box... but I can't really justify the price difference. It would be over $1000 shipped. It just doesn't seem like they have the same distributor footprint with that specific model for whatever reason.
