Congrats, but things look a little off. Body should be rotated 1/3 to the left, top vent turned 180.
Sorry, my OCD showing through. Nice cooker! :thumb:
I think there's a Menards in Wichita, Kansas, but I guess that's still a pretty good jaunt.Too bad they don't have a Menards around NW AR
a quick question, what is the diameter of the main cooking grill?
I am in the game. Bought one last week. Love it so far. No smoking done on it yet. Hope to do it this weekend. Will report with pictures hopefully. I own a WSM now and a Performer. Looking for something that can conserve coal better since I cook on grill about 5-6 times a week. Charcoal was getting expensive. Trying out Royal Oak Lump now. We will see how it does. So far I have cooked Fillets, Pork Chops, and Boneless Chicken Breast and have only used about 1/4 of the bag.
Most kamodo's use lump because of ash problems, small ash area, ash difficult to remove, ash clogs charcoal grate.
This cooker has a large ash pan, ash is easy to empty, the grate allows ash to fall out easily.
Since I have over 300 lbs royal oah briquittes in garage I used briquittes for 3 hour seasoning burn.
The smoke smelled "good" & the ash pan was minimally filled , First cook with briquittes worked great , after 8 hours cooking ash pan only 1/4 full.
Temps easy to manage.
Lumps probably the way to go for high heat ,but for smoking briquittes work fine.
