Thanks Tim for the welcome! Any specific mods/forums I should be looking at? Going to season and take it on its maiden voyage for dinner, have a few chicken cutlets and a pork tenderloin.
Brand new MES owner at least I think, I purchased the Master built Sportsman Elite Bass Pro version, same as others or am I in wrong thread. If I am in the correct group, haven't even seasoned it yet but cannot wait!
