I've hauled 55 Gallon plastic rain barrels home in the back of ours.
Standing up you can fit several, but one laying down in a box shouldn't be an issue.

I was assuming that's what it would be in from the shop. If I needed to unwrap and take out that would be fine, but I was thinking grab and go. I assume the box was about the same size as barrel aside from some bubble wrap, and being square and all....?
I would be picking up another cooker that would fit on one of those hitch cargo carriers and as long as this can be thrown in the back with the seats down I wouldn't have to drag a trailer along.

Just measured and the box is 44"x30x"25
I'll measure my rain barrels in a second.
Standard 55 gallon drum size and I fit 3 or 4 in the back standing up. Can't recall.
My plastic rain barrels are 36" x 24" x 24.
May not be comparable, but should fit in the Heep.
Not accounting for the wheels and hinges.

Can't you just strap one to the hood?? Can't you do that with Jeeps? :laugh:

yes. I suppose there are many options for the jeep. Hood, roof, just drag it down the road with a tow strap...I unfortunately have a Rubicon that has seen nothing but pavement. I need to take her to the sand dunes in Michigan or something just to justify the price for the Rubicon and it's 14.5 mpg that I roll with.

I have one of those I use in our drums. One drum we got from Sparky. I use a step stool when I install it full of charcoal and removing. At 5'7" the extra step helps. We have both styles with and without the extra steel. The extra steel cooks longer on a load of charcoal.

On these covers, you linked to a square chair cover. Were you going for the length of the chair covers more so than the round fit of table covers?
I have a can that I built using Hunsaker parts and really like it. I keep it in my trailer, but need one for the patio so I can practice more easily.

The overall dimensions seemed to be a good fit to fully cover them so that is why I grabbed it. So pretty much what you were saying. i forget the table cover dimensions, this one grabbed my eye first. I really like them.
If you are picking it up from Mark in Columbia, it will not be boxed. He has large sheets of bubble wrap to protect it if you need it.

Yes. Flavor and color/ smoke ring were great even with only 2hrs in the smoke on the big meats.
I used 3 chunks for ribs and added 1 chunk for chicken.

Big meats both wrapped right at 2hrs. Color looked mediocre enough for me
Got wood into the rib drum and rubbed them down. Also sampled some brisket trimmings I had in there
I see the other tube around the fire box what does that do ? is it jus a tube that sits in there ?

You mean the tube dead in the middle of it? If so the vortex basket has a piece of steel that goes in there to hold it in place

It is a heat shield to help protect the powder coating on the outside of the can, the powder coating is high temp but the heat shield provides extra protection. You can easily get to and cook at temps of 500+ if you wanted too.

Anyone run into issues running these in grass? Will the bottom intake be hindered?
