I am afraid anything shorter i will regret it. Any thoughts?

If you want to do hogs, I wouldn't go smaller than 60. You'll love the backsplash!

Any thoughts on going 24 x 60 elevated traditional with cabinet doors vs 24 x 60 elevated straight back with cabinet doors? I know that the traditional is 1/8" thicker than the straight back. Does it make that much of a difference?

I'll let y'all know about pig in a 24x60 I have a 100#der sitting in ice chest going on at 10 pm tonight. I was looking at smaller but am so glad I took wife's advice and got bigger and stainless with backsplash I would almost say is a must>

Straight back is the way to go. Racks all the same size and you can make the cabinet taller to fit a another rack or 2.

The cheapest modification is length so unless you have a space problem I'd go 60. I probably will rarely need it but it's nice to know I have it. I can't disagree that straight back is more logical but I liked the look of the traditional so I went with traditional elevated cabinet. No regrets

Yes, Shirley's are a great build.
Yes, Shirley's are a very long delivery.
Yes, Shirley's are very expensive.
Yes, Shirley's have a great resale value.

But, have you ever considered how long it takes to whittle a hopper full of those little pellet thingys?

I drove 1600 miles over 28 hours this week to join the Shirley Fab family:



This is my new traditional door 24 x 60 insulated trailer model:





Those "eyes" at the top are my sausage rods



The 3/4" door ain't no joke either,



Happy Trails....

Yeah, I really like the look of traditional doors with a counterweight. Also, the 3/8" vs 1/4" seems like a plus.

Talking Shirley Fab - Order Placed!

I am very excited. Yesterday I submitted my deposit and worked with Tyler to place an order. Build details below. I figured I would put my build money into smoker functionality, so I opted out of the SS shelf. I think it will be fun to make a custom cedar or butcher block shelf instead. Im still on the fence between switching to the 24x60 trailer model. The larger 60" cook chamber would allow for cooking a hog, but will I ever do that? The trailer would make it easier for pick up and transport, but do I plan on moving my cooker once I get it home? Also, I could always seperate get a tandem axel trailer which I could use for my tractor as well... So many variables!

24X42 Cabinet Patio Model
Insulated Firebox
Ash pan, firebox
Warmer 28" tall
3rd shelf add, warmer
Hip roof, warmer
Charcoal grate, warmer
Removable sausage hanger, warmer
Both Dampers (firebox & cooking chamber)
Baffle block, cooking chamber
probe insert (2), 1 cooking chamber, 1 warmer

Congrats! Don't overthink it. You have plenty of waiting time. I am a few months ahead of you and man i have changed at least 15 times already. The only thing i know for sure is that it will be black.

Hey, thanks Matt. Glad to see other folks who are in the waiting game too. It will be great to see your new cooker on the forum and know that mine will be right behind it!

My new direct flow traditional 24x60. It has tuning plates and also has a 2 piece reverse flow plate that can be used when exhausting through the warmer.

I can’t figure out how to resize the picture so I did it as a link. I finally figured a way to resize the pic.
