    Bar-B-Chef Find,...is it worth it? (Plenty of Pics)

    Dave- Thank you for the reply and recommendations. I am making some progress today and decided that I should clean it up a bit first!   I am going to sand the smoker and hit the surface rust pretty good with a Dewalt power, palm sander using 120 grit paper.  Then I am going to paint it with...

    Another question,... What did you use to clean up the handles with?  Your BBQ handles look kinda shiny so I am thinking you used some sort of chemical spray. Thanks XLAXX

    Good advice.  Please post your mods here on my thread with the dimensions of your charcoal box.  I want to make one right away and then do a test burn.  There is a sheet metal shop close to my home so I could probably secure some scrap 1/8" for the inner baffle and tuning boards for the bottom...

    Ya,...please do.  I joined the BarBChef club tonight, although I have the Horizontal firebox.  Also, it would be nice to see your tuning boards and baffle inside the smoker too.  Take a few pics and post them.  Thanks! XLAXX

    Well, we just had one heck of a beautiful day here in Northern VA.  I worked about 4 hours of side-work and I must say, I started thinking about my potential smoker purchase this morning and didn't want it to slip away.  I figured it might be a good idea to go back over to the Seller's house and...

    Bar-B-Chef Find,...is it worth it? (Plenty of Pics)

    All of you are so kind to reply so quickly and THANK YOU for the help and suggestions. So glad I hit this forum first!  See, I had no idea that this unit is an 'older version' with the horizontal fire box.  All great points.   I am going to go back over there and have another look at it then...

    Floridarandy-   I am fairly handy and can restore it but I would like to get some use out of it first.   To me, the wear on it looks minimal, but I am not certain about what it might have looked like originally?  To my knowledge, these units have been discontinued so replacement parts will be...
