Hello All,
I have been a long time reader on this site, but never an active poster.
I just finished up my first BBQ Concession events over the past couple months and I am now ready to move on from the borrowed trailer, to my own.
This is where you come in. I need some help/advice with the set...
Our newest piece of test equipment just arrived at the Oakridge BBQ World Headquarters compound. A sparkling brand new Ole Hickory Pits CTO with the "Oakridge BBQ" option set. Man I can't wait to cook on this thing and get it dirty!!
Ole Hickory Owners:
1) How often do you need customer service from Ole Hickory (translation: how reliable are the electronics on the thing?)

I'm contemplation getting rid of my Good One Rodeo and replacing it with a Ole Hickory CTO. The fuel cost on the Rodeo is taking a big bite out of my profit. Any one care to way in on the Ole Hickory CTO, would this be a wise choice?
I cater to oil tanker crews when the come to our area for...
