Pulled the Trigger in Ohio
« on: June 06, 2015, 07:36:21 PM »
Just ordered model #3. Had a smoke hollow and it worked great for a couple of years. I wanted something that would last and after all the reviews I have read in the last three months I ordered the Model #3, Can't wait to get started.

Not a problem, over the last couple of years I wore out my first smoker. I am guessing we made about 45 pounds of deer summer sausage, a lot of pulled pork, chicken, and poppers. By this weekend I should have pictures and my thoughts on this smoker.
Thanks for the welcome!

I will do that.

Received the Model #3 today and this thing is built like a tank. I work second so I will season it tomorrow.

Question: Do you treat the inside with any type of oil before you do the first burn? Or do you just burn it in?

Thanks

Just add wood and give it a good 4 hour burn in.

Just add a couple of dowels of the hickory to the wood box and start.   Don't put any AL foil on the floor or on the wood box so you can get everything seasoned inside of the smoker.

Completed the first step this morning before work. I have chicken soaking tonight and tomorrow I will try out the #3 for the first time. That for all the suggestions.

Looks good. Also looks as if you have a small smoke leak on the top right of the door. This is normal and will self correct with use. Hope the chicken soak includes salt-we are all big brineing fans here.
