OK, so I have a fireman friend that made me a smoker - - a huge smoker compared to my needs, but hey, I'll always have room to grow. Anyhow, decided today was the day to try it out.... just jump right in.
Fired it up - - all the paint on the firebox started to peel and bubble off - - ahhhh!!!! I think the grate is too high in the fire box - anyhow, cooked-off some kingsford - let the temp get down to 225, then threw my brisket on.
Brisket was marinaded overnight and went on at 9:20am - this may be a long day!!!
Pictures coming in just a sec...
