New smoker arrived today, the Shirley was worth the wait.

After 2 and a half years of waiting our new Shirley finally arrived. I love my Humprey's Down East Beast but it ran out of room often for my church and other events. So we went big. Tyler was great to work with and the construction is amazing. I can't wait to season it tomorrow and start using it.

Also, here is a very nice video that Paul did on it. They are all really great people there.

Whoa, yeah that will be a nice capacity upgrade. Filling up a Down East beast is impressive. You going to keep it or part ways with it now that you have the Shirley? Regardless that's a beautiful piece of work. Congrats!

Congrats and I know the suspense of waiting was killing you, especially when you know what is at the end. Beautiful smoker!

I am definitely keeping the Down East Beast. What is nice about it is that it will go for 20 hours, overnight, unattended. It has even temps and I know how to get great flavor out of it. The Shirley is for when that is not big enough, when I want to go hot and fast, or when I want the different flavor profile. They both are amazing, just have different strengths.

congratulations

After the break in with 2 fatties and 3 pounds of bacon I have a rack of ribs ready and baked potatoes.

Another piece of art! Keep that DEB. It'll make the perfect partner to your shirley. I have an insulated cabinet the same size and for 5 years they were my 2 favorite cookers. I know you're gonna love that shirley and so will everyone you feed.
