New Smoker Has Arrived!

BBQ4FUN · Feb 21, 2012

1230 today this showed up out front of my house.....

Thought I was being sneaky and snapped a pic of him unloading it. I got busted and felt like a dork. LOL

Here she is....My new BW Competitor!! :clap2:

Loaded up with KB to give it a good burnout.

Took about 45 min to get to 150 so I thought I would go inside and eat supper. 20 min later it was at 400. :Cry: I closed down all vents, top included. Kept at 400-425 for the next 3 hours. Hmmmm. Guess I'll just let it burn until it goes out. Sure thought these things would be tight enough to snuff out the fire. The oil from the sheet metal (I'm assuming) smells like a$$.

I will spray it down with some oil on Saturday and throw a few fatties in and see what happens.

nice lookin rig man....I'm envious :mrgreen:

Like you, I'm very surprised that closing everything down didn't shut that sucker down within half an hour. Are you thinkin air is leaking from somewhere?

That is the first thing that comes to mind. It seems quite tight though. Maybe once it got out of control on the heat it just didn't want to quit. I really have no idea. Fire with no oxygen shouldn't burn.

That is badass! I'm am super jealous

Nice!

How big are the grates and how long can you run without refueling?

TTNuge · Feb 21, 2012

19.5 x 19.5 Not sure on the run time yet. It did run 5 hours at 400+ tonight though during the burnout. Not intentional that high though.

Congratulations! You are gonna love that cooker. :thumb:

bbqfred · Feb 21, 2012

Beautiful. Great pictures, thank you for sharing.

Can someone tell me the main benefits of a smoker such as this? Is it mainly capacity, or does it have unique cooking characteristics different from a UDS or WSM?

That's a nice 'un.
Did the charcoal continue burning, or does it just hold heat that well?

RFHD69 · Feb 22, 2012

It burnt until it ran out. Shutting all vents didn't snuff it out. Might have been because by the time I caught it the whole bed was lit.

Nice, now throw some chicken and pork in there and get some smoke going.
