Received my #1 yesterday and plan on seasoning it tomorrow and smoking some Ribs soon after. After spending a fair amount of time on this Forum I am impressed with the membership and their willingness to help each other out. It's a class act and I look forward to being a part of it!

Yes I did bolt it to the cart, it was an inspiration from member Grampy look for his post. The cart works very well for me. Your going to enjoy your #1

Thanks for the feedback. I'll check out Grampy's. Seasoning will be done in 1/2 hour and weather permitting ribs are going in no later than Friday.

Hey Al, Welcome from Kansas City, I just had my ribs tonight and was my first smoke. The flavor was awesome, but I messed up the bark by leaving it too long after add sauce. As had to take some of the ribs to my Dad's so mine was like mush. Also when I cut the ribs the bark came off. One other thing I learned pull the membrane off the back of the ribs. I did not do this and really am sorry I did not pull it off. But, you will enjoy it. Another reminder do the season smoke.
