Nearly 15 years ago I wanted a new RF smoker. I didnt have the funds, but I located a guy near Birmingham, AL who was selling a used Lang 84DX that wasn't kept well at all. I drove over and picked it up, lots of restoration (as best I could do, and I'm not a welder), and it was good for 13 years. I sold it to a gent in Nashville for a little more than I bought it for (he knew it needed a little welding work), and have been without for more than 2 years. It's been a long wait. During that time we tried, dare I type it, being vegetarian. Honestly though, we needed more veggies in our diet, so we're better for it. But, I longed for a good juicy medium-rare steak and some BBQ.
Well, I decided that you live once, and you might was well enjoy it. I've waited long enough. A few weeks back I ordered a custom made RF smoker from Bubba Grills (He's only about 4 miles from my house). They're putting the final touches on it now, and I'll pick it up Friday morning:
It's a Bubba Grills 250R; the same he uses much of the time, and he won MiM Ribs a few years back on one of these... 3rd rack inside (for tons of ribs/chicken). Aluminum wheels. No gas *starter* that he puts on some; no gas or lighter fluid for this guy (my baby will never be exposed to such travesty).
Planning the initial seasoning starting later in the morning Friday; then a nice steak dinner date with the wife in the evening. I think I'll get up and cook on her (the smoker, not the wife) Saturday morning.
