absolutely love this build! well done sir!lecheminant wrote:I am pretty excited. For the first 1/2 hour you could smell the oil smoking off the smoker. The combination of pecan, canola oil, and linseed oil was not the smell I was hoping for on its maiden voyage, but once the oil finished burning off, I had nice clear pecan smoke coming out. The smoker did a pretty good job siting right around 250. There was only a 5-10 degree difference from side to side. I figured that there would be more of a temp difference, but I was excited to see it so close from side to side. The initial burn did cause the linseed oil to darken. I like the look. The firebox is almost black, while the rest of the smoker has a tinted clear coat look. After the seasoning the smoker, I added gaskets, and now I am officially done. I will post pictures of my first cook. Hopefully next week.
