smokers A Boy and His Smokers

[Husker21]

Suns out guns out!  Beautiful blue skies but a little windy today.  Getting one of the two vertical smokers I picked up seasoned today.  Running about 10 lb of Kingsford Competition Briquettes through the rig for a few hours at 250.  Before that I sprayed out the inside of the cooking box and the racks with water.  Wiped em down real good and then lubed her up.  Sprayed all the racks and inside the cooking box with spray vegetable oil.  Had about a gallon of water in the water pan.  Fired up a full chimney and then dumped on top of the rest of the coals that I added to the firebox.  Its taking awhile to get to 250 but that 350 lb hunk of steel was sitting in a COLD garage last night.  After I get 1 hr at 250 I am gonna open her up and give it another coat of spray.  So far very pleased with the fit and finish.  Peep my carpentry skills.  My driveway has a steady slope.  I used some of the scrap wood from the shipping container to level the playing field!

Didn't you say in the other thread that you bought two smokers?

Where's the other one? Waiting to season it up?

Look in the background.  Green and black.  That one has a scratch in the door.  They are sending me a shipping slip to have it repainted.  Will season that one up when the door is back.

Peep the gold ball valve on the right side of the unit.  Air goes in, through the firebox and then up and out the stack.  I just unboxed the DigiQ and fan.  I am trying to get that sorted before the brisket goes on tonight.

You better have wet-aged it =)

 

[JoynersHotPeppers]

Did it have any smoke leaks?

 

[chiefmanywrenches]

The DigiQ will be awesome, you will love it. I was wondering how it would hold temps by itself without it but this isn't exactly a smoker you load up to take camping lol. I am curious to see how it works out for you.

 

[Husker21]

GM - You know I have one locked and loaded.
 
JHP - Nothing yet.  Seems tighter than a dolphins butt hole.

Derh! Duh! Look at the picture Rex!!!


My bad.

 

[Husker21]

Just hooked up the Guru.  Literally plugged the bitch in and it stoked it to the target temp. Getting this piece dialed in so I can feel more confident about snoozing tonight while the brisket is one.

That is the 2nd time you've mentioned blinging your WSM and we don't have any pics yet. Stop yacking and start blinging.
