    What is this unit?

    Not yet, ive asked the joint to make sure they can find the registration for it, and show me the tires hold air first. Probly a month away from buying it. Nobody else knows its for sale, and the guy in charge of selling it..wants me to end up with it. I have one or two guys at work, who are...

    First Prime Rib

    Thanks..bout what I thought. I may cook it a little lower, for longer, and ive been asked to go for medium..but I like the idea of faking out MR by soaking in the Vman soy sauce based marinade for a few days..less pink from the coloring. ;)

    What is this unit?

    Thanks..your words go a long way. The steel is thick. It is 2x thick on the doors. The inside portal from the firebox to the first cooking area, is wide open..so it needs a baffle and plates. The center box sides go down to about 1/2 way into the lower chamber. I was thinking also about...

    What is this unit?

    Ok..heres a more complete image set. Sorry I screwed up one photo. It will at the very least (beyond a cleaning and some basic refresh of some trim)..require rails for tuning plates, the vent tubes need extended down, and some fireplace seal on the doors, which are all straight and even up...

    What is this unit?

    Why is that? I couldnt get a front photo..the building was being painted and stuff was there. But..that firebox opens from the top like my itty bitty home unit does, just the air vent seals better than mine, and the whole side opens to clean out, unlike mine.

Then I can peek from a long distance and know if im good or not, same with guages in the race car, when all you have is a glance, straight up is "good" on all of...

    Having issues with temps at end of loooong cooks

    Its the BBQ Galore Bar-B-Chef with sealing and tuner plate mods, and the pipe extended down to the grate. But..ive been playing, and I may have worked it out. Im aggressively banging down the grate, and shoveling old stuff to the front/back edge, and loading a new chimney into that bare...
