Full Fledged Farker
Texas Pit Crafters...
- It's 10 - 15 years old.
- Sear unit is bad and needs replaced (I may not bother with that...)
- Some surface rust on frame and inside the pit & firebox, but overall the firebox and pit bottom are sturdy.
- Cover included.
- Chimney is below the grate.
- It's a large footprint for a 18X33 grate on the pit itself. May be able to modify if I lose the sear grill...
- Not really sure I have the room, probably don't need it and I'd have to find a good wood supply, but I have some wood to get started and no lack of other smokers/grills to use. Plus these things have never stopped me from buying a grill/smoker before, lol...
- I've been thinking of trying out a stick burner, and have thought about a cheap intro model.
So...
- Asking price was $200 (which I'm thinking was a good deal) and we worked out a deal for a Weber Platinum One Touch (that I bought used on CL a while back and never use, as I have 5 kettles) and a little cash, to get to that $200 mark...
- Is this a better option than a cheaper intro model stick burner? I've only been able to find a little info on these. While this is 10+ years old, they are MUCH more pricey new...
While we've agreed to a deal and I have no intention on backing out at this point (hoping the seller feels the same & no one steals it from me
I would love some insight from the Brethren...
I'm picking her up this weekend and will post more pics then... I'll also be inquiring on the best methods to clean and fire her up, as this will be new for me...
Thanks!
