Knows what a fatty is.
Nice!! I'll jump on the envious wagon!
HELL...YES! Been waiting for this post. Looks great. As for wood, if you have an ACE hardware or Academy nearby, you could buy some there if you're jonesin' to get a cook in this weekend.
Congrats man. Beautiful cooker.
That's one 'helluva rig, brother... huge congrats! Looking forward to seeing some posts on what you put out of it. If those are empty kegs in the backgrounds shots, it's obvious you know how to through down a party. :nod:
That is a great lookin' smoker!
Enjoy it.
Although I am perplexed as to why the firebox door latches from below.???
How is airflow controlled at the firebox?
Amazing rig there.
You do know you have to smoke a fatty on it first right?
Ok, stupid question time.
I'd been on this forum a LONG time ago....and kinda went dark from Katrina till now.
I recall the term "Smoking a Fatty", but I can't remember what it is exactly and how to do it...?
I think it has something to do, with opening a whole chub of breakfast sausage and stuffing/wrapping it with bacon or something?
Can someone fill in the details on that one please?
Thank you in advance,
cayenne

Alright....just this morning, I got my guy I found here locally to drop me off a cord of wood.
It is local oak....
He apparently delivers to many of the local commercial BBQ joints (like Blue Smoke BBQ in the Mid-City area of New Orlean) among others.
He generally doesn't do to individuals....but he figured since he was already coming for a commercial delivery, I'd throw on some for me too.
I got it for $340....which if ya'll had seen my previous posts...was the BEST I could find...others were quoting me $650-$900.
:O
Anyway, this all looks good, and split sizes appear to be pretty decent....I'm guessing he cuts for the commercial folks and that's the type I got too!!

What's his definition of a cord?
Yeah, that one caught me off guard too....but I don't see a problem.
The part it latches into had several slots so I can lock the door in place closed, or two levels of 'open' depending on my ventilation needs.
Its time to put that smoker to work. Get her Dirty
I thought a cord was basically 3x4x8. ?
That rack in the back is 4x8....and I believe the splits are approx 18" long...so, double that is 3 feet?

It appears to me to be about right if I understand the "cord" definition correctly?
Am I wrong?
Thanks in advance,

In my area logs are usually cut to 16".
That way, 3 rows 4' x 8' make a cord.
