First fire up

[Jbush]

My number was called last week to make the trip to Tuscaloosa. Drove down and back Saturday to pick up my 24x65 elevated straight back cooker. I couldn't be more pleased with the finished product. Paul and his wife are some of the finest people you'll ever meet. Been super busy since I got home but finally got the opportunity to fire it up for a few hours today to season it. It ran flawlessly hardly any learning curve at all. Planning on cooking Saturday if the weather cooperates. Here's a few pics of the finished product.

I don't know what I would do with a rig that size, for starters I'd have to buy a lot to store it. Nice smoker. Best of luck with it.

So wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.....let me get this straight.

We sent Voyager out into the vast universe with information about mankind to reflect what we are all about....and we didn't include a picture of this???? :shocked::shocked::shocked:

How many millions of miles away is Voyager and can we get it back for a critical update to it's informational manifest.

Congrats on the new shirley! The cc looks really tall compared to mine. How tall and what spacing do you have between racks?

[Jbush]

Im pretty sure I've got 9 inches between the lower 2 grates and 6 at the top. Me and Paul talked about it but I'd have to measure it to be 100% sure.
