Got the final detail email from Tyler!!!

It would be a crime. One trick I learned on here before I seasoned mine was spray Crisco. saved me a lot of elbow grease. I coated everything inside mine with a light film and it seasoned up great. Although anybody that came to Walmart for spray Crisco was out of luck for a few days.:grin: I have the chargrill on my trailer also. you wont be disappointed to have it. I use it all the time.
 
Rite on, Congrats!! Cant wait to see the pics of that bad boy. What are the options uv'e got ?
Welcome to the Shirley family (it feels funny saying that for MY 1st time lol )

Thanks. Was going to buy a case or 2 of pam to coat her up. I look forward to using that grill a lot as well as charcoal in the warmer for direct cooking wings and drumettes and such.

Thanks man. Ok here we go lol. I'll post this in the thread I make after I pick it up. I did copy your shelf and paper towel holder after seeing it on yours plus I added a couple of my own ideas as well.

6. Add elevated cabinet w 3rd grate in chamber---------------------



7. Add removable tongue----------------------------------------------- (wasn’t comfortable on such a large build)



8. Add 1 extra warmer grate (3 total) ---------decided to stay with 3 to give more room between them and more clearance between top shelf and roof of warmer



9. Add both dampers-----------------------------------------------------



10. Add stainless steel shelf on front ---------------------------------



11. Add wood basket on backside of cabinet----------------------



12. Add remote grease drain-------------------------------------------

23. Fold down SS shelf on side of warmer w/ paper towel holder--

All good. I'm ready for it. Looking forward to a nice first cook. Most likely going to be 2 racks of spares, a pair of butts, a loin, a brisket and a turkey. And of course a fatty.

I'm doing a thanksgiving cook of turkeys for a local soup kitchen to serve for their turkey day meal to the homeless. Probably going to be 13 or 14 turkeys. They have 5 already and I'm going to the local butcher to talk to him about pricing for the rest of the turkeys. Holidays is time to give back. Oven baked turkey although free, year after year gets boring. The homeless deserve variety as well.

Thank you brother. I bet it's a feeling you never have a problem recalling lol. It'll be worth the wait I'm 100% certain. It has every feature I'd want in a smoker. Going to be an awesome road trip for me and the fiance.

Nope. Already had a plan. 250-300 for 4 or 5 hours. Let her cool down and then recoat and fire her up to about 400 for a couple. Drop the temp down to 250-275 and do my first cook.
 
I have the 30x75 straightback and absolutely LOVE it. Let me know if you have any questions. Congrats!

Not to give you too many options when seasoning, but when I did mine I kind of half arse sprayed it down with pam and ran it for a few hours at like 250 and then threw a cow head and a bunch of other meat on to finish seasoning :becky:.

Also with the 3 racks in your chamber did you get extra rack slides to adjust the grates heights and give more spacing options? I had tyler put them in mine. Very nice to have :-D
