Thanks... I just want something good to smoke on, rather than my entry level that leaks heat and smoke like a sieve (as adding seals and etc is useless as thin as the metal is). I also am not looking to do anything bigger than a brisket at max. as I do not feed crowds but a a few at most. So this size will be good for me.... Many have told me "get an electric and forget it", but I like the challenge of producing good food and managing the fire.ajfoxy wrote:Welcome to the crew.

I agree. Great bunch of guys.Big T wrote:What configuration are you wanting to build, offset, center feed, wood burner or charcoal ? We may be able to help you a little better with this info. I agree with you on the forum review, you won't find a nicer, more helpful group on the web.
Doing an offset, pretty much have the design layout, now if it would warm up some I can get started. Supposed to be almost 70 tomorrow and the rest of the week. Still cold today, the weather here has been crazy. One day record highs and the next freezing rain and snowBig T wrote:What configuration are you wanting to build, offset, center feed, wood burner or charcoal ?
