Got my new weed burner working. Hooked it up and fired it up! What a neat and useful toy this will be! I'm ready for tomorrow night's cook!

Mike, what weed burner did you get?
Do you have to use a large propane tank?

You can pick them up at harbor freight for $20. Connects to a standard 20 # tank

Yep That's what I got too, from Harbor Freight! Same tank too! Hey..... Lee, did you take my stuff? -

Back to business! Cook #2 is under way! I have a 10 lb. butt that went on at 7:45 PM and a 7 ib brisket flat that will go on around 10:00 PM. Much different experience this time getting to temp, which is 230, and I got there in about 40 minutes. Not too shabby!

I added about a gallon of water when I reached temp, and I have my Underpowered guru that will be working the night shift for me. Confidence is high, so lets see how this goes!

Good luck Mike!

Hope the cook goes as planned

The fan should hold that temp all night. How much did you heat up on the inside with the weed burner to help it get to temp?

Will be getting a burner soon to scare my neighbors in the morning. Were the loud house anyways. Everyone have good luck with their seals? Ive been leaving my door open since I had them adjusted all the way in to get a good seal due to leaky smoke.

The weed burner works great, but can make a bunch of noise, so careful not to wake the neighbors!

I fired mine up Saturday night to help preheat the inside of the cabinet for cook #2, while my charcoal chimney was getting fired up.

Cook number two could not have gone any better, and everything was perfect! The brisket was moist and tender and the fat that I left on (about 1/4"), had completely rendered off. Maybe one one the best briskets I have ever made! The pork butt needed two spatulas to hoist off the grate, because it wanted (and did) fall apart. The bone lifted right out when I tugged on it and there was no meat stuck on the bone. When pulling apart the butt, I noticed that most all the fat rendered off and I was left with only a small amount of fat that was not suited to leave in with the meat. Lots of good flavor from both. I was slicing the brisket up, and a buddy who dropped by for some que, was eating it as fast as I could slice it.

We had baked beans, coleslaw and some bread to go with it. Sorry I did not get any pictures of post cook, there was too much going on with company as such to turn the camera on, which was sitting close by.

All said, this was a pleasant cooking experience!

Good morning Lee,

The guru worked out pretty good, and kept temps right at the set temp of 230 for most of the night. When I got up Sunday morning. She got reached 245, but as soon as I added a couple of cups of water, she came right back down to 230. For a second cook, on my new Lone Starz Vertical Cabinet, I could not be happier! Every part of the cook went really well and I had no problems at all.

I'm sure the 25 CFM fan will bring temps back faster, but the 10 CFM fan was pretty good at the job.

Mike, that's good to know. I've got a 10 CFM fan. I'll try using that before ordering a 25 CFM.

Let me know how you get the beast out of the crate. I rolled mine out of the crate by placing some plywood on one side so the it dropped down about a half inch onto the plywood and rolled down the rest of the way to the pavement. I left the side rails up on either side of the wheels to create a track so the wheels did not creep off the 2x4's that the wheels were resting on.. You will see what I mean when your smoker arrives. Posting pictures I hope?
Mike, you must have had yours delivered to the house. If you pick up the crate at the freight terminal, the fork lift will place the crate in your trailer so those 2X4 tracks face the side of the trailer.

You don't have room to roll it out from the track.

We had to disassemble the crate and pallet in order to roll the smoker out. What a job that was. We were joking we wanted to take the nail gun away from the worker who put this together. You never saw so many nails.

Finally got "TEX" out and all wrapped up in his new Grill Wraps cover.

This is a pic of the caster on my Myron Mixon smoker. I hit the smoker with my car while parking 3 days ago. It dinged my car but the smoker didn't budge and it only had one caster locked.
