I just wanted to take a second and Thank SmittyJonz, and the rest of you all, for posting about this smoker. I researched this unit for 3 weeks, not finding much about it at all, then I stumbled across this forum, and it was EXACTLY what I had been looking for. I was torn between the Smokehouse and the Over Under, and after reading this thread, I decided to go with the Smokehouse, as it was the one I was really interested in to begin with. I picked up my unit last Saturday evening, and took the fire tray to the local machine shop, the are going to cut out the current vents a little bigger, and add more vents to allow the ash to drop easier. They are also building me a tray with 3 walls, and a handle in the front, that will slide in, so when the ash builds up I can pull it out, dump it, and slide it back in, for those long smokes. I should get the fire tray and ash box back tomorrow. I am crazy excited to get this thing seasoned and get some meat on it. Thanks so much, again, for all your valuable info!!
