    There is surface rust on the bottom of the cooking chamber, all of the door hinges, bottom of the SFB, the smoke stack bottom where the "L" is, and connection from the stack to the chamber is welded. I almost forgot to add the weld spots on the spokes of the wheel and its bearings.

    I just realized that the rust on my wrangler is worst than I thought. I've contacted customer service to see if they can deliver me an exchange. I love the smoker, but the rust is getting to me :(

    Old Country BBQ Pits Wrangler Smoker Review

    When I got mines this past Friday, I seasoned it and notice the SFB door is not sealed all the way at the top section. I can see the flames from the mini logs when the SFB door is shut. Any suggestions on how I can correct this door? I thought about heating the door up and trying to bend it into...

    Water rust inside smoker

    what can I do to treat water rust? There is yellow and some spots by the welding stack that is kinda brown reddish. Should I just season as usual or clean the rust out first?

    Hello, I am looking to purchase a Wrangle also. I was wondering if it would fit in the back of an SUV. Can someone please provide the length, height, and width of the wrangler? Or are Academy's specs golden?
