At least that's how I feel. According to the UPS web site, my smoker is "Out for delivery" (a day early!).

I feel like a kid on Christmas. Usually my UPS deliveries are late in the day (5:00 ish), but every time I hear a vehicle I go check out the window.
 
Hey Moe...congrats on the new rig...I bet you'll have fun with it!  Be sure to show it off with some tasty qview.

Alright... arrived in the morning. All kind of good things happening with this order.  Box looks ok, just one gouge but it doesn't feel like there is a ding/dent on the metal.

According to the box it even cooks in Spanish!

Well, I got the unit assembled today and it was actually quite easy. Kudos to Brinkmann.

I was missing 1 part, the bolt/end cap, for the smoke stack damper. I can deal with that.

I did the cure burn and had a lot of trouble trying to get it to 250* 

The unit felt hotter than the door thermometer said, so I inserted a digital probe thermometer and found at 40* difference. (important lesson with this smoker!) I was able to get it up to 450* without a problem.

The cure also gave me a little experience with heat control. I already understand the smoker better.

I ordered a gasket kit from BBQgaskets.com, but it wasn't here yet. I didn't wait.  I got to see alllllllll the leaks. It even puffed smoke from around the rivets on the Brinkmann logo.

I will be doing the sealing when the gaskets, etc., arrive.
