My Shirley 24x36 was delivered last Saturday,,,,
Sunday AM, Oiled her up and set her on fire to season her up for about 3 hrs.
Then I threw on a 3# fatty and 2 STL racks of ribs for a test run
I’m one happy Farker !!!!
Tried to down load some pics but they were sideways and I do not know how to edit them to be straight up,,,

Their (Shirley Fabrication's) website is really out of date; there isn't any information re; the 24 x 36 patio on it.

What do you wish to know about it?

Does anybody cover their cooker?

Mine will be living under a covered patio, however it gets windy and snowy around here sometimes.
I use a golf cart cover for mine as a temporary solution, until I'll be storing it in a back shed while not in use (currently under construction). It's not form-fitting like a custom-made cover, but it does the trick for now.

They fired their last web master and has not been updated for three years now and they are going to find another guy to run but are trying to get the new shop going first with a bunch of new tools to get orders out faster . The base 36 model is $1,975 and only has a few upgrade option like the shelf any thing else is considered a custom build with the longer wait time .

Default BGE to Shirley 24x36

My 24x36 should be delivered within two weeks and I'm very excited and ready to season and fire it up. I think I'm going to part with my BGE as I only use it for slow and low cooks. All other shorter cooks I use my old reliable Weber kettle that I use lump charcoal in.

I've got the same setup with the 24x36 and the BGE. My last smaller cook I cooked a pork butt with sticks in the Shirley, wrapped, and then let it coast home on the BGE. I'd much prefer to cook the entire cook on the Shirley (which is wonderful), but sometimes I can't set aside that many hours for feeding sticks. It's a nice balance from my POV.

I'm jealous of some of y'alls patio setups. Wife doesn't want my Shirley on our back patio because the smoke filling the living room when the door opens. I can't find anyone willing to build a small slab in the back of my yard. Might have to rent a mixer and pull up YouTube and pour one myself.

I poured a slab for a shed I have on the side of the house. It's a pretty basic process. Rent the mixer from HD, materials are cheap. Put that daughter of yours to work. Have her put her initials and date in an inconspicuous area when you pour

Only recommendation is pour bigger than you think you need.
