Well I dragged Red Raider home this morning after a long chat with Don the builder.  What a great guy!


I add my own little personal touch to the unit.


I first spray the entire interior and all the racks of the new smoker with cooking oil.


Lets light a fire! I'm seasoning "Central Texas Style" with post oak wood. I used a chinning full of charcoal to start the fire. 


Smells great.  I'll run the smoker between 250 and 325 degrees for a few hours  to get the welding stink out and to bake in all that woody goodness. 

To be continued... b

This is exciting and its not even mine.

Congrats on the new smoker.
 
Yo, you don't think he might be PAR-TAKING of any fluids while this so called seasoning is taking place?

But with Skelly ya never know, he might have the Tech Cheerleaders & the Cowgirls there to cheer him on o Victory!!

He's probably going to come back with some wild story about checking temps and looking for hot spots but he won't have any biscuits!
 
Congrats on the new Q toy Brian, that's awesome man !

Thank you Justin
 
 
Do we all get an invite for the maiden voyage?
Todd

You're welcome to join at the table anytime!  And please don't worry. I'm keeping the MES along with the Tube and the 5X8. I'll still be burning plenty of Pit Master Choice!

LOL  No cans of biscuits for hot spot testing.  I was at my grandsons baptism while Raider was burning in. 
 
 
Jees Brian. That thing looks big enough to BBQ a whole steer, not just the brisket!!!!!

Gary
Ha!  Thanks Gary.  But its not that big.  Maybe a whole hog.  But definitely NOT a whole steer! LOL

Thanks for stopping by my post.  b
