I live in Lansing Michigan, How can I get a smoker like that. There is no Academy close to where I live?

Wow this is crazy. I got mine last year and it was mostly OK. Everything pretty much square. Biggest complaint is the "stay" to keep the fire box tray from falling out was way up high instead of just over the tray. Yours looks the same. Mine also had over a cup of machine grease in the bottom I had to scrape out and wash out with soap and water. Done 4 cooks on it and worked very well thus far.

I have the exact same one Bud and it’s perfectly aligned .. I’m almost positive you got a bad one .. mine sites straight and level at all times .. sry bud .. I’d send it right back .. Instead of refund I think you should get a new one .. it’s the best smoker I’ve ever used ..

Update? Did you return it or swap it out for another one? If you swapped it how’s the build quality of the second one?

I’m getting ready to buy an OC, even in Academy the showroom models are jacked. I picked mine from the warehouse in Houston. Still needs mods, but yeah, you got screwed. I went with the all American Angus smoker. I know guys that have bbq stands that use these and have had everything burn up in grease fires.

Yeah I purchased a Brazos from academy and the craftsmanship was crappy on it also. They had 2 in stock and both were horrible lol. Luckily I only paid 750$ because they had it mislabeled. Old country craftsmanship has went down the toilet in recent years.

It's really not possible to make this for $700 AND pay people a decent wage to build it. Metal is just that expensive. I got lucky and got one of these that has few problems, but I'd been looking at a similar pit that I'd have had to go pickup in Houston and it was round about $1600.

I have one. The water pan is warped, but the rest is good on mine. Cooking on this smoker is great, just have to watch the temp very closely, which I think is more technique. I have smoked turkeys and chickens on this with wonderful results. Many a boston butt have been smoked as well. Overall I am satisfied with mine.

Yeah, I bought a Old Country Pecos smoker last week. I will say that I chose mine after looking at a few...4 stores later. Each one is different, so take your time and look them over. The one I took home was in great shape and cooks like a dream. The ones I passed over were out of alignment, missing parts (grates), and really bad gaps on the cooking chamber and heat box.

Thanks for the honest review. About the thickness. Are you sure it is 3/16 inches thick? Cause their website says 14 ga. on the body and 11 on the door. And afaik that is a far cry from 3/16” Could also explain the warping issues.

Man I was really wanting to get one of these but it seems the quality control is not good. Here in Texas old country pits are in very prevalent. I’ll be looking forward to an update.

It’s best to pick one out in person I’ve been told as there can be some crappy one’s that get out. Old country has offered me a full refund and to pick up the smoker.
