Grease your unit inside (i used bacon grease), do a break in burn at 250* for about four hours. Plan on around 1 hour/lb of KBB or K-Comp using a Guru, etc. and I think they'll hold 12-14 lbs of briqs.

I did my break-in burn w/o the Guru hooked up and predictably, it took forever to get to 250*. When it finally did (2 hours +), I went in for dinner; came out an hour later and she was screaming along at 525*!!

Initially lighting I use a 1/2 chimney of lit briqs. Takes awhile to cool off after you shut it down so alternatively a BIG hot ash can can be used to carefully empty the firebox if you have to.

A full hotel pan will slide right into the opening for the grease drain, just don't wait too long to empty it!

If you don't do anything else, do these: get a controller, spring for a cover, clean it up regularly and you'll be a happy camper! Congrats again!

That's awesome, peeps! Congrats on the win. I know it's gonna be tough to divide your BBQ time between Earl and your new baby, but I'm sure you'll manage

Can't wait to see some pics!

Earl will probably be neglected for a couple cooks and then I will use Earl for cooks where I can be outside and play with the fire.

I will use the SS-2 for overnight cooks and cooks where I might need to be away for a while.

Only 5 hours away via the hellish I-35, but no need to stop unless you just want to share a toast.

Thanks! Exactly the info I'm looking for! I'll get a full hotel pan ordered ASAP!

I have a decent sized ash can that I use for Earl.

Just use a disposable foil pan (full size or half size) like you can buy at Sam's. No need to spring for a hotel pan.

You gonna leave this one out in the Rain, Wind and Ice and Sleet and/ Blazing Hot Sun like Earl? I got a Large Covered Back Porch that is enclosed on 3 sides that would be perfect to protect this fine piece of BBQ Machinery.........
