Well, it was finally delivered!
First, let me appologize for being absent from the Forum for so long! It seems Everyboody and their Brother is suddenly wanting Automatic Transfer Switches for their home generators in preparation for the upcoming Hurricane Season. I've been busier than a three legged Dog in a Sausage Factory!!! But hey, the money is unbelievable and you gotta strike while the griddle HOT! Anyway.............................
Being that there are no SS Big Blocks to be found, I settled for the regular model. I must say, I got more for my money than I expected! It seems the "Big Block" comes with more extras than their "sub" models - for that I am thankful. I am seasoning it now, and the only drawback I immediately noticed is that the door does not seal very well and I wish the walls were of thicker steel. Other than that, it appears to be a quality unit for the bucks. Temperature was reached very quickly, adjustability was inpressive and the factory door Thermo was right on the money (something that NEVER happens!). I'm sure I'll add an after-market lower thermo to boot.
One question..........how quickly do they go through a 20# LP tank? Do I need a stand-by for an All-Nighter?
Any how, here's a few picks of the new Smoker. I'll be breaking it in with a Pork Tenderloin, some BB's and of course...............ABT's this weekend!!! Hope everyone has been doing well in my absence!
