I remember seeing someone using veggie oil on the outside of their cooker to keep the sheen? That’s true? Mine is looking pretty ugly lately sitting out in the elements.

 

[Stlsportster]

Don’t use veggie oil. It will become tacky and stuff will stick more.

Use food grade mineral oil.

Here are mine.

I have no mineral oil on hand, but do I have an endless supply of bacon fat which I've used on the bandera exterior. No sticky/tacky effects, so far at least.

Close but no cigar

I'm in! This is my main rig (Boathouse Vulcan Series). She's not this shiny and new looking anymore, though. She's been well used for the past few months.

I use lemon pledge on the outside and Pam on the firebox .. Per Lonnie Smith who told me to do that when he sold me my 250r

Here are mine. The big one is an East Texas Smoker that I bought about a year ago. The other one is a home build that I haven't used in about a year. It needs some more mods to make it more efficient.

I have a few things to burn sticks:

Offset

Open fire cooking

Wood oven

Fireplace

Bought my over and under about 1.5 years ago. It's my first stick burner. I went with it because I'm fortunate enough to have an almost endless supply of free wood and the tools to easily cut, split and season it.

As I was new to stick burners, I wanted to start out with a cheap one and I really liked the design of the over and under, mainly because the firebox is huge in relation to the cook chamber. I cook year round and have ran it when it was ten degrees out with no problem.

It gets used at least twice a week and for a backyarder mainly feeding a family, I currently have no plans to replace it.

I still can't believe that more prominent builders besides The Good One haven't taken this design to the next level.

Russ, is that a 24x42? You find it big enough for 4 meat comps?

Stlsportster, It get a little tight at times, but it serves it for me.

I went w/ this size for a couple reasons. The squared off chamber adds a good bit of space which i like.

BUT i live in a neighborhood and cant get a trailer in the back yard. THIS pit (with the help of atleast one neighbor) i can roll thorugh the yard and load on a trailer for comps, THEN bring it back home and get it on the back deck for home use.

If i would have gotten bigger, id have to store it somewhere, then do i cook in my driveway when i want to smoke meat?

Its a great pit if you are going to have ONE smoker. (that may be foreshadowing for the future )

That's what i would have if i needed a back yard size stick burner. :thumb:
