EDIT - deleted some pics in here, little overkill first go around.
So I finally got the # 3, ended up showing Saturday when the tracking # showed Monday. Needless to say I was stoked to have it in time for the SB smoke. Great smoker. As everyone else has stated this thing is a TANK. Setup took about 1/2, just a matter of unboxing, screwing on the wheels/casters and washing it out. I just hosed it out with water, scrubbed with a clean cloth, and washed again. Hosed off inside and out just to get the oils/packing material off of it. Ran it at 250* dry to burn off all the water inside for about an hour, then did a 6 hour break in and seasoning with 6 chunks of the wood that came with it.
So at this point, it's time to make this smoker mine. I ordered a few decals to put on the smoker, so much stainless it just looked like a canvas that needed some personalization. So, that's what I did. I'm an aerospace guy, hence the aviation inspired livery. This is what my Smokin-It # 3 looks like now.
I'm seeking suggestions on what to name it now, feel free to weigh in....
Currently "The Warthog" is what I'm going with. I'm a big A-10 fan, plus it is pork, sooo.......
Anyway, thanks for watching
