:icon_devil Hiyah folks- I'm rob, and I love bbq... just got a new rig and was looking for tips when i stumbled upon here.. so by way of introduction->
here is a note i sent to the guys at Nolen who just built me the rig seen below:


Hi guys, All seems well !! Got the trailer into the wherehouse last night- hoisted it up w/ forklift to assemble and away we went- everything arrived fine, will put smokestacks on tonight and wipe down with veg-oil to season...

Up til now been smoking in a converted old chinese duck cooker-
put a propane burner and a wood chip box in the drip pan storage area- 3 3'x3' shelves give me plenty of space but no practical experience with a true wood or charcoal firebox- ((HELP)) so not sure how much to load, how long to come up to temp etc.. so any advice in that direction would be helpful..

attached pic is thanksgiving this year- a few of the birds already out- I take care of the neighbors :)

I like your mods to the duck cooker. Time for me to check craigslist. Welcome Rob
 
Hi Farmer Rob. Welcome to the Brethren. Nice looking rig for sure. Envy is an awful thing to live with.
 
Thks all. Seasoned the new rig today. Used about 12lb of kingsford w/mesquite. Burned a lil hot till I figured out the damper controls. got a good 4-5 hours before temps started to fade

just need to figure out an easy way to clean the firebox
 
Welcome aboard Rob!

Sweet lookin' rig!
