Brazos Review & Delivery Process w/ Pics (to come)

Another Brazos/Academy thread. (I'll update this as the whole thing as it plays out and add pics as I take them)

Here is a link to the original thread I jumped in and tried to hijack: http://www.bbq-brethren.com/forum/showthread.php?t=204003

I ordered the Brazos from Academy because for $99 shipping to NJ it's a hard deal to beat. The order was placed on 3/28/16 and is scheduled for delivery tomorrow, 4/7/16 (10 days). The carrier called yesterday to confirm the appointment, so sometime between 10am and 2pm tomorrow I will be uploading pics of hopefully a box truck with a lift gate in front of my house. So far, the whole experience hasn't been any more difficult or complicated than ordering socks off Amazon.

I'm really interested in seeing how this Brazos performs. It seems like everyone is using the Wrangler or Pecos. I was interested in a Brazos a couple of years ago, but for the money, I moved up just a little and got a custom.

Good luck with it. I think it's a very good smoker, Joe

Everything I looked at custom, shipped to NJ, and not even custom but something like a Lang to NJ, all seemed to run me almost twice as much for pretty much the same grill (obviously not reverse flow like the Lang, but you get the point).

Just placed an order for one. Thanks. I planned on picking one up, I just needed to find one that fit. Seems like a fair enough price from the ones I've seen.
