Lol, i will tell him. Thank you fellas!!

Oh and his neighbor doesnt know either, he built a deck for a guy who owed him money and gave him this grill/smoker to satisfy the debt.

A friend of mine picked this up for 100 bucks from his neighbor. It doesn't have a tag we can read, just a serial #. Just curious if anyone knows what brand/model this thing is. Looking at it I would venture to say 100 was probably worth it.

Well ive done 5 smokes in this, and one 6 hour dry run at 350. As an hvac tech, im not on board with removal of foam insulation. I see zero evidence of an degradation in the insulation. Not sayin that years down the road it wont need replaced, but i doubt it.

I didnt remove the foam in mine and have used it multiple times with no issues. In fact, it works great. I honestly dont forsee any issues with the foam. My last smoker was an old pull handle fridge, I didnt change the insulation in that either and used it for over 2 years with zero issues.
