Brother Grimm you set the bar high right out of the gate. Nicely done sir.
If you ever make it up to the N Texas area give me a ring. I'm buying. And don't forget to bring your grocery cart.
You know we have the N Texas Brethren Bash coming up on April 16!!!
I'm just saying...........

Beautiful cooker... but it's nice to see you getting her dirty so quickly!

I chuckled when I saw that lonely fatty in the cooking chamber, and then scrolled down to see you pack that thing full of meats.

Glad to hear the charity cook went well!

Man! that pit can hold a ton of meat. Looking at the color of the meat proves how good the pit cooks and draws smoke.

Around 300 till it got a little late then headed up to about 350. I had a hard time getting it back over 300 after putting all that cold meat on. Lots to learn! I think I was running 250-275 for the first few hours till I got a hang of it.

With no meat it's perfectly even side to side. With a full load of cold meat, the right side would run as much ast 50 degrees hotter than the left. Which worked out, because we didn't have to store all that meat, it came off basically as we needed it.

Well done dude. I'm sorry we didn't make it back over after the parade started, but I was trying to keep up with my little one.

I keep coming back to this thread as I can't wait to get mine tomorrow!
