Looks great, I need to fire mine up soon. The fire zone's were something I found as well. I thought there would be less of a variable. It's fine as long as you know about it and you can plan your cook out.- Palermo79

That sounds great! We have done a couple LBS comps and did fair. We use another pit for those currently. Our head cook is really the anchor, he’s got his stuff down pretty well. I’m not on that level. I just enjoy the challenge and being outdoors.- Palermo79

I don’t think I have any of it cooking other than that one I sent, I keep it in my garage so I just roll it out in the driveway to smoke. I do have a pic of the end product. Robert I live in Round Rock and thanks for the welcome.- Palermo79
