Good Saturday Afternoon, Smokin Brothers!
Some may recall that I sold my old Southern Q gravity feed smoker last month, to make room for a new pit I had on order. Well it arrived a couple days ago. It's a shiny new Southern Q Limo Junior Gravity Feed Smoker - same as the old one, but bigger, with more cooking racks, and with a few more extra bells and whistles.
First off, each of the 4 cooking racks on the new pit are about twice as big as my old one - and the old one only had 3 racks...so this pit has more than double the capacity. Other upgrades include: 8" heavy duty locking swivel casters; brushed stainless steel handle; an added pull toggle latch to take some of the load off the commercial slam latch; a Tel-Tru thermometer in the door; and 4 D-ring tie downs.
Southern Q also carries BBQ Guru Temperature Control Systems, and I got a good price to do it, so I upgraded to the new DigiQ DX3 controller. Very similar to the DX2, but they've redesigned the fan, and I assume there are some upgrades to the software in the controller.
I fired it up day before yesterday and ran it about 3 hours to season it, but haven't cooked anything in it yet. I hope to rectify that tomorrow if the weather will cooperate. I have 2 racks of spares in the fridge that will be the maiden cook. And I may throw in a chuck roast too...
More to come!
