pearsall

Just got this sweet thang for $700 (1849 retail). Prior owner used a dozen times. Took her for a test run tonight. Didn't smoke any meat, but wanted to play with the stick burner just to see what it could do since I've never owned one. Being 20-25 degrees outside here, it was a good opportunity...

Just picked up this used beauty on Craigslist - Texas Original Pits' Pearsall model. Got an awesome deal, but as this is my first offset, I need input on a few things I'll need to deal with: Surface rust: how do I handle this? Baffles: Do I need them? If so, can I have them made cheaper...
