I was gonna post some photos of the first fireup, but I was tucked up under the easy up tent trying to keep the me and the smoker dry. I didn't know if it would like being rained on so early in our relationship.

Rain or snow don't bother em as much as big winds across the firebox. I give your paint 30 days. I been there and just gave up. I just spray mine down with spray nonstick stuff from GFS about once evry month or so. Nice shiny metalic black finish!

about a stick or two every 30-45 min is great. unless there is wind - then it is all farkered up. I back mine up against something then.

I build my fire, add a Wesson Oil soaked paper towel or two under neath and Voila - we are rolling.

once I get it rolling, I almost close one side completely and fool with the one side - about 40-50% open and do the 45 degree stack trick. I feel the 45 degree stack makes a more manageable cook temp wise - but everyone is different.

i am going this week and get little guides put in the top rack slide - Ben could make a minor change and it would be wonderful. I doubt he will - hell, he never even calls you back. Love the cooker, but I always find his customer service is lacking.

The rack slide with the new mods will slide easily - without the herky-jerky it does out of the factory.

I will send pics if anyone is interested.

This is a wonderful machine - I bet there are several dozen on here who have them - I think Ben needs to send Capt Dan a bottle of wine! Great recommend.

Give it hell Pinky - and invite us all up sometime. :-)

Haha, I hear ya. It kind of sucks to want his smoker, but hate his lack of effort to sell them. He knows he had you at hello.

I hate to sound like a whining, complaining guy, but dude - take care of your customers - and someone else will.

I had a company give my family poor service one time - I went in business against them right after that - figuring if they treat their customers like that, there is plenty of room for me to kick butt and kick I did.

I put them out in 4 yrs. They were in business in that town for 61 yrs.

You have to treat your people right. Good product though.

Pinky - time to change your signature, dude.
