Hello, owner of a second model #1. Sad story......
« on: November 07, 2016, 05:31:21 PM »
Hello everyone.  Alex from the DC area.  Luke I said, this will be my 2nd model #1.  My first one was brand new and the wife decided to do some garage cleaning and donated it to Goodwill.  So, I purchased another in hopes that someone who could not afford one is getting some good use out of it. Cheers everyone.

Wow. That's a new one! Somebody got a great smoker! I'm guessing the employees got to it first.

You have to be a satisfied owner if you bought a second #1. Congrats on your new unit. Perhaps you should keep this one chained to the garage wall.

Oh man, Alex, now THAT'S the test of a strong marriage!  :o Not sure how I'd react, after 31 years, if my dear wife gave my smoker to the Goodwill!  Hehe... I'd still love her, like always, but I'd sure be sore for awhile!  Great recovery, buddy!  Better paint "Do Not Donate" on the side of this one! ;D
