New Smokers for Border War Smokers

After the Roayl this year, I'd decided I'd needed to update my smoker and that we need a second reliable smoker other than the Good One Rodeo we were cooking on. In speaking with Caveman, I'd thought I had decided to build a gravity clone. But time got away from me with work and in talking with RobKC, we both decided we were thinking of getting gravity feeds. We looked at Stumps, DW Kountry Cookers and Superior, and both decided on getting a couple of the Superior SS-2's.

Well over the weekend, the wife and I drove down to Macon, GA (yes, basically from KC) and picked up the new smokers. We arrived at the production facility for Superior about 7:45 AM yesterday and got them loaded up. Rob's is the blue one (Little Jay) and mine is the black one (Little Norm). The best part on Rob's is hands down the black paint around the firebox.

Also, while I was at the shop, the owner Jeff was kind enough to show my wife and I around, including seeing some built SS-1's and 2's and a cool stainless steel SS-2




Currently, Little Norm is puffing away with 3 slabs, a pork shoulder, and a handful of rib trimmings just for me. Going to be a good evening.

Yep, I ordered them through Joby. Was good to work with

When they are smoking, we'll know it's for different reasons:
- the black one will be from working hard
- the blue one's smoke will likely have a distinctive odor

Remember Mizzou kicks off at 2:30 on New Year's Eve afternoon.

I think you hit the nail on the head Bobby!
