Shout out to The St. Louis BBQ Store

[HoytFlinger]

Big shout out to St. Louis BBQ Store for their awesome crating! Got my Riptangle Smoker yesterday scratch free. Arrived perfectly unscathed. Took me 30 minutes to get it uncrated!

Congrats! I think that thing is pretty intriguing, can't wait to see some cooks from it.

Thanks. I seasoned it yesterday. Might smoke a chuckie tonight after work. That thing is like a smoke vault. Does not leak anywhere. Only smoke loss is from the exhaust as it exits. Very responsive to intake adjustments. Shuts down very quickly to save charcoal with intakes and exhaust closed. Very very happy so far.

I had to gurgle, that’s a good looking cooker!

So it’s a square UDS?

Pretty much. Will hold a full hotel pan on the rack.

I consider myself very lucky to live as close as I do to their store.
Top quality people, top quality merchandise.

I can't wait to see it in action myself. Congrats!

Much easier to disassemble when they put it together with screws. You can take 1-2 minutes and get the lid off to inspect the cooker before the driver gets away. No crow bars or saws needed.

The guy that builds them also uses them in in local comps. They win and get calls quite a bit.

I did a naked fattie on it last night. Very easy to control temps. Flavor was excellent. It got to 170 IT in a little over an hour. Didn't have my Meater running so I just looked at the tel tru on the smoker and it was running between 290 and 300 on that and it is a couple inches below the top most grate location where I was cooking. So little over an hour and had plenty of smoke using B&B Hickory Lump charcoal and couple Hickory wood chunks.

Going to hang some ribs in it this weekend and may do a chuckie as well. I bought the half hanging rack and half cooking grate when I bought the smoker. So going to start the chuckie on the half and hang the the ribs after a few hours on the half hanging rack and hopefully both will finish roughly same time. Going to run between 275 and 290 which is about a little less than 1/4" opening on both intakes.

They did use screws. It may have been less than 30 minutes to get it out. They had it very well crated. They had 2x4's screwed down on the floor of it so it couldn't move in the crate one iota.

Sounds Great Looking forward to seeing it in action

I got to see one of these at a local SCA comp the other day. The guy's young son cooked on it in the kid's cooking contest. It was pretty neat looking.
