Pulled the trigger on a Klose Deluxe Smoker

I expect to see Regular PRON with Action Shots! :biggrin1:

Actions shots will be coming as soon as I can start smoking!

Congrats on the Klose, very nice looking pit!

I understand that it might be tough, but I would really encourage you to go larger, even if it meant waiting.

Congrats on the new smoker!

Or look at Craigslist daily. This pit was for sale in San Diego for $1500. I mentioned it to an acquaintance of mine in San Francisco and he ended up buying it. It probably cost nearly $1500 just to ship it from Houston to San Diego when it was new.

This is a good search tool

@ RangerJ, I found a little more room in the budget to change my order from a 20 x 30 to a 20 x 36. Not too much bigger but I guess every little bit of cooking space can make a difference.:-D

Thanks for the search tool! I've been looking for a smoker in Pennsylvania without any luck...

I bought the exact same smoker this summer off of a brethren in Atlanta. Spent a few hours cleaning rust and it is a machine. Love it. I'm surprised more pitmakers don't use the direct grill firebox. It's a great idea for a patio cooker.

Klose makes a great product, and they're built to last. I also use my firebox grill grates fairly often.

How much meat can you fit on the firebox grill? If you wanted to grill burgers, could the grill hold at least 4 or 5 patties at a time?

The firebox on my Klose is 18x18, so the cooking area on top is closer to 16x16. I think you could easily get 4 or 5 regular size patties on there. The log grate in the firebox can also be raised higher to get the coals closer to the cooking grate.
