I have a Stump's Baby and I love it. Just the right size for my backyard cooks.

Glad I could help. Feel free to ask any questions about the cooker. I will provide my best answer.

Keep your first crap offset. It'll be your favorite before you know it.

Except for maybe that Weber kettle.. lol

Haha I may have to - you might notice the ropes I have to use to tie the lid down - I won’t miss that!

Just hang some grill tools on it, right?

That works

That works

This new thing was I believe $200 flat, $40 for the cover. It is SO thin and loses heat all over. I've been hanging my hatchet on the handle to keep it closed, and I've been using foil to adjust air vents since I was a kid cooking in the free kettles at the park.

2nd cook was a turkey-

I get a little heavy handed when I work, and felt like I was gonna break the damned thing flipping it around 1000x

Wow - that turkey looks good! I haven’t smoked a turkey yet but that’s got me thinking about it. Looks like you’ve been able to crank out some top notch food with it either way!

We learn the most having to adapt like that!

And thank you for the compliments. I forgot to compliment yours and agree with everyone else that said you clearly have your head on right. The sight that you had tied it down delighted me, lol.

(Here's the full thread about cooking that turkey, btw- https://www.smokingmeatforums.com/t...ck-sage-stuffing-dressing-with-extras.305000/ )

Awesome thanks, I’m going to give that thread a read then plan out a turkey smoke of my own.

Agree Re: having to adapt - life will be a lot easier when we have legit smokers!

Thanks a lot Ryan! You’re right, everyone seems really cool and I’ve been having a browse through some of the threads and they’re getting me hungry. Think I’ll have to give Jeff’s rubs a whirl myself
