It was tough to decide but...

Saturday I picked up my new HBT Deluxe. Yesterday I had some time to build a fire in it. It seems to draw nice, seems to maintain temps well. I have absolutely no complaints on the fit and finish.
This was a tough decision for me as I was ordering a smoker that I've never laid eyes on. So far I'm very happy.

Looks like a great smoker. Do you plan to use it for catering or larger gatherings. Looking forward to pictures of your first cook.

We do a few family get togethers that can be from 20 - 50 people. Still this is a little bigger than I was originally looking at but the price fit right in. Once I retire (hopefully in a couple years) I'd like to do some summer catering.

Normally they do diamond plate but it was a bit too much diamond plate for me. They’ll do 1/4” smooth steel on request.
