Scored this off of craigslist for $50. I didn't know what it was at first and was skeptical about buying, but after doing some research it appeared to be an original OK Joe vertical roasting oven. After reading more about this cooker I am really excited to test it out.
It looks to be in good condition, just a little rusty on the inside. The only thing that may need some work is the side-door on the firebox. It won't open all the way, which I thinks is caused by the paint job the last owner did. Also, the handle for the air intake won't budge. I can't tell yet if the paint is the problem or if the rust has jammed it. Hope a little elbow grease will get it moving, but if not a trip to the welder may be in order.
I'm really excited about playing with this one. Any ideas, suggestions, or war stories you all want to share would be greatly appreciated.
