is one Smokin' Farker
OH man, I am beside myself excited!!!
Just a few hours ago, the shipper unloaded it and helped me move it up my driveway to my smoking spot.
I was actually quite amazed how easy this thing is to move on the heavy duty casters it came with over concrete. I imagine over any non-paved land would be another story altogether!!
Whew...this thing is heavy duty!! 3/8" steel all around. I had a few extras added...ball valve on grease drain, foldable stack, damper, hot plate on firebox, griddle plate for smoke chamber and Linseed Oil seasoning for exterior.
I was actually surprised that in the cook chamber, I had the upper shelf...I didn't order that, but will gladly accept it. I likely will pull that shelf out for most cooks, but on occasion I need something cooked that's small and needs extra heat maybe?? Maybe reheat some sausage links or something?
(I'm not quite sure what to use it for, since it is so high up and not much headroom up there).
Now...the sad part.....
My firewood doesn't arrive till Monday 25th...in the morning.
But once I get it, I'll spray the inside well with Pam or some similar oil spray, and light up a hot fire and burn it in/season the interior.
I believe I already have a Costco Prime Brisket in my freezer so likely that and maybe a chicken will be first things cooked.
Goodness....such a large cook chamber, I might throw on some other stuff friends have that want me to....not like it will cost extra fuel, eh?
Anyway...I'm really stoked about learning the new beast, how it acts, fire control, etc.
Reminds me..I guess I need to get some sort of shovel, some tongs, etc...for fire management?
Anyway...trying to attach some pics.
