Franks Newest Best Friend...

Post by Flying Pig » September 24th, 2012, 2:35 pm

Hello All,
Just met Frank, what a guy. He saved me a lot of money by stopping me from a hair brained idea.
First smoker was a bullet water smoker, the first mod was to install a small gas burner to keep my wood chunks going (no kingsford for me...).
Went on to the New Braunsfeld Offset, another gas burner mod - 6 of them have served me well until I bought my first Traeger 070. Trouble free good BBQ.
I missed my stick burner, so to feed 2-300 yacht club members, I bought a 4 foot diameter by 5 foot long Cadillac rotisserie cooker. the first thing I did? Installed a 1.5 inch gas pipe burner (just to start the wood). Been smoking for 20 plus years - entered my first KCBS a month ago and came in fifth in Brisket out of 21 teams. I need to talk with Frank about another smoker...Dont we all!

I have a pretty good sized deli box - I want to have Frank help with fitting it with 4 compartments and 4 pellet setups.
I want it to be the comp machine, I often do brisket at 350, St Louis at 275, Pork butt at 225, chicken at 325.
I look forward to talking with you guys.
