New bel-fab smoker

[Cataholic]

Picked her up last weekend from Craig and gonna season today and do some chicken legs tomorrow with all my inkbird probes in it to get a good feel of the temps inside the pit. Can't wait to fire this thing up. The only problem I have is trying to get the bottom cooking grate out. Talked to Craig a couple days ago and he told me to slide all the way forward and tip the right side up and get on the top slide out. I still can't get it out. Does anybody got any tricks to get it out. Thanks

Mine took longer than that only because he thought I cancelled instead of someone else

I can answer that.

Yes.



Really gives leverage to be able to move these beasts around.

Yes, very easy to move with the bar. It is one heavy dude.

Guessing it slides back under the cook chamber when not needed? I'd forget and end up hurting myself walking into it.
