First try with the new smoker

[chefboyrlee]

Well yesterday was the first time using the new smoker and everything was outstanding. Thanks to everyone for all their posts of recipes and techniques, I would have never been able to do this without all that info. I cooked ribs, chicken, brisket and pork shoulders. I tried to post pics but I'm not sure what the heck I'm doing so not sure if they showed up.

Thanks for the help, I would have never figured it out without that link. I'll save it for future meat smoking pictures

now that is a fine looking mo-chine you get there.

I checked out their site - very nice. Can't find any prices though. I guess if you have to ask.....

where does one find prices for Ole Hickory Pits?

I spoke will their salesman Bill. Very helpful with ordering and shipping out to Seattle. It took a little over three weeks form the time I ordered it to having it in my garage. Once you order one they will start the fab process and get it going for you. I'm was really impressed with the quality of the unit but their shipping company sucks, there was some damage to the back which didn't affect the ability to smoke just cosmetic but they are going out of their way to make it right. Great company I would highly recommend them to anyone interested in getting one of these. All my neighbors loved the pork.

Thought I posted to this thread earlier, good looking machine you have there. Those are built just up the road from me, is it safe to assume that it holds temps very well? Not in the market just curious.

That Sir is one awesome lookin unit , congrats !

Great job on the q-view , happiness is a full smoker

This thing maintained the temp I set very well, even if I had to open the door it didn't seem to drop much and if it did it was back up to the set temp fast. Wish I live as close to the manufacture as you, shipping alone was about $850.00

Thats a fine unit. Put in the meat and walk away! You have got to feel like a king with that thing!

Me likes smoker!

It's a place out of MO. Cape Girardeau. It does work very wll. All you need to do is put some wood in the fire box, dump a few gallons of water in the bottom set the temp and check it about every 6 hours or so. I hooked it up to natural gas so now I don't even need to fill up the propane tanks. Its alot easier that my last one. Now with the beer dispenser in the garage, I don't spend much time in the house anymore
