Got it at Academy for $199. Didn't realize it weighed 200lbs either! They loaded it into my truck and we went home. I slid it out of my truck, and whoa nelly! Pretty stout. Anyway, after nearly crunching my spine out of my back trying to get the firebox and smokestack on the frame (and before reading it was a two man job), I finally got her put together. The firebox lip closest to the smokestack was bent up a little, but nothing that a good set of pliers didn't fix.
I coated it in oil, fired it up (mesquite of course), and I'm just drinking beer and watching tv until the seasoning is done.
I'm glad I read Bandera 101 and expected the paint to peel. It's already peeled, no big deal.
Tomorrow I'll take out a brisket, and about 15-20lbs of wild hog. Let's see what this thing can do!
