I checked yours out. Nice smoker!!! How do you move it?

First cook was a success. Came out really good. Had some challenging things like wind and rain throughout the morning.

This is the first fire. I got 11lb of pork fat on there for seasoning. I’m about a split of wood every 45 min or so temps are 5-10 apart so I’m happy with that.

Thanks jbellard. I appreciate it.

I have made plenty of different kinds of cookers and have cooked some pretty good Q. All my friends say how good it always is but to me its jut not there. Something is missing and not sure what. So I decided to build a 250 gallon RF smoker. I got the tank cut the doors and cut off one bell end...
