I hope that pit serves you well.... Cant wait to see some of your food pics.... You will figure all the sweet spots out... Just takes a little cooking to do it.... A guy who owns a large Berkshire... Ossaba and Yorkshire pork farm bought on of my biggest units and loans it to high end chefs for use... They cook a lot of whole hogs... Lambs... And other stuff ... They love it....
This cooker is already the talk of the town.
If it is drawing that much attention I would make sure it is very secure, there is always someone who thinks that they need it more than you do. Doesn't matter that you are the one who paid for it. The cooker is a beauty and I would hate to see some varmint to think it would look better at his house, or that it would be a quick cash sale.
Agree with locking it down. I'd have it well marked / etched, have lots of pictures of it, and make sure your local PD gets fed from it so they keep an eye on it for you...
Also might be a good idea to have a SF sign on it. Might return some business back to Paul and Co.
Church as said or look for a VFW or American Legion Post that has a kitchen.
Good tips on securing the mobile pit. I've got it locked up for now, but a few more permanent measures are in store for sure.
But I just wanted to chime in tonight to remind people who may be just hopping on this thread that people are the worst. Seriously. People can, and often are downright awful for no reason.
While today we sold out in pretty much record time, it seems like those who did come in were the biggest a-holes ever. People will lie. They will cheat. And boy, will they steal. And they will certainly complain about nothing. Oh, and you'll have parents with kids who are the worst parents in the world and let their kids destroy your property and not even give a damn.
All the while, you just have to smile, nod, and apologize. It's hard, but if you can get through a day of that, you'll probably be ok.
But trust me, you get to see some of the worst in people in this business. And if you're hot-headed, biting your tongue is one of the most difficult parts of the job.
Ok, rant over. It's been a long day and had to let that out. It just shocks me that I share a planet with some of these people.

A couple of questions:
I bought a Southern Pride Model SPX-300 (trailer unit) about 3 months ago and I'm still learning the ins and outs. I also own a Klose Stick burner that I bought new in 2002, and have had several cookshack units . Because as you know so very well smokers are expensive and I'm a clean freak and power wash my SPX 300 every Sunday. Which brings to mind one of my many questions. When do you find the time to clean your pit???
Have you tried any Zep products for cleaning your pit? They make one called smokehouse and a stronger version called Super Doug. They are both amazing, the grease and smoke just runs off. Not sure if it would be against the rules here on the forum but if you'd like I can post my salesman's information ? One other question are you using the recommendations from SP on cooking your ribs...meat side down etc? I have a million questions but I know your busy, so I'll post some others in time.
Great job and congratulations.
