Assassin heading west and quicker than expected.
- Thread starter bbqwizard
- Start date
He aka "Hamlit" shipped today! I have not heard the approximate arrival day yet but man I can't wait! My wife say's to me "Sorry honey but he's purty." Oh and the slam latch has been reversed. I ordered it upside down and it was mounted "the right way"..lol
It looks like I should expect the delivery on Wednesday next week! Nothing like taking it off one trailer just to put it on another......then head to a contest Thursday..lol The last time I did something similar, we ended up placing 29th in brisket and 19th overall out of 420 teams at the American Royal
For you that load/unload cookers of this size onto/into a trailer, any good tips? I was considering a winch (eventually), otherwise a few people and a prayer?..lol
happy Q'en

UPS last recorded it in Memphis. Come on! Come to papa!...ha ha oh boy the next few days will be nuts! I have to get ready for the contest, coordinate a new plan now that we should be taking the new cooker with us, finish packing, and oh yeah torment myself with excitement while I/we wait..:icon_smile_tongue:
Wednesday Mike. Right now it is stuck in Memphis due to weather. Dude, it will suck if it doesn't get here in time!

Found some matches.
Congrats! You are going to luv it. I have had mine for a while now and it is awesome! I have not used the water pan but plan to just see the difference.
Me too!!!! Yes. In fact I was just telling my wife that today. Pray it arrives on time. The trailer leaves for the contest Thursday morning!
Hamlit has arrived! WOW! This thing looks awesome! I have videos and pics but won't be able to post them until after I return from the contest! I will be posting stuff periodically during the weekend from the Music Brews and BBQ contest on my www.facebook.com/chefphillipdell page if you're curious. Stay tuned!!!!

Enrico,
Value! After looking over all the options that were already included where others had as "add-ons" definitely helped the decision. While I really never read one bad thing about any of the other brands, I like the overall appearance of the Assassin. Having the firebox in the back was to my liking as well. I never spoke to any of the other companies personally, but the customer service was/is awesome. Value once again! More options for less money.

Hey Bryan, awesome! Will do, should be an awesome first cook that is for sure. Nothing like breaking in a new cooker and using a new style for the first time at a contest..lol.
