Re: Johnson Smokers made in Ennis?
Have not checked on this site in a while - I have been cooking on my ultimate compact patio for over a year and have no complaints - located in Dallas so if anyone wants to see one cooking just let me know

Here's a pic of my Ultimate Patio Trailer from Johnson Smokers. Have only very positive things to say about the smoker and owner (Chad). He was very responsive and made a great trailer pit!

Re: Johnson Smokers made in Ennis?
Hello,
New to this board, I am looking to speak with someone in the Houston area that has one of the T Design Reverse flow smokers. I would like customer feedback as to quality, performance and ease of use. Thanks in advance for any info provided. Seems to be a great forum for a novice to learn.
Thanks

I don't like the idea of the firebox down by my legs.

Re: Johnson Smokers made in Ennis?
:-) Well thank you for your opinion but I am still curious. That is a very valid point that you bring up but I really would like to talk to an end user who has time cooking with one.
Thanks
Thanks

Okie, I see that you have a Pellet grill as well, what is your thoughts on those?
Thanks

Thanks. A friend of mine just bought one and he has been trying to get me to pony up for one. Still debating on which way to go.

Re: Johnson Smokers made in Ennis?
Just looked around the site and i have to say, I pretty much hate their site. Putting the smokers in categories with pix would make life alot easier. But the smokers look great.

Re: Johnson Smokers made in Ennis?
Agree, their site sucks but they still have a good rep. Chad seemed like good people when I interacted with him. I like square fireboxes so that's one reason why I went with Shirley .

You are correct. Website sucks, smokers are built like tanks. Chad is a good guy who knows his stuff.

Re: Johnson Smokers made in Ennis?
Hello, I'm new here, this is my first post. I should say I'm not from Texas but got here as soon as I could. It's funny, when we first moved here, we had dinner with the boss of my wife at her job. I thought he was a little crazy. He had 5 BBQ grills of different styles etc. We came from back East (NYC) and didn't have one grill to my name.
Now I have two grills and a Weber Smokey Mountain 18.5....I'm also looking at the Johnson Smokers made in Ennis. I spoke with Chad on the phone today. He does sound like he knows what he's talking about. I'm going down next week and if I like what I see I'm going to place an order. He said a new group of smokers are about to start construction. They take about 8 weeks to build.
I like the reverse flow design plus the ability to use it as a charcoal grill. It sounds like a good heavy design.

Welcome to Texas. I think we are all anxious to hear a review on the Johnsons. Good luck.
