SO Fed Ex dropped off the Smoker at noon yesterday...I work 3-11 so I knew there wasn't enough time to season it. I have a few large Metal carts from a previous job, about waist high, industrial wheels on them, so the #3 fit perfectly on one with room on the side for a large platter. I lined the inside with foil and left for work.
This morning I placed the wood chip insert inside to
burn off any manufacturing leftovers while I season the smoker and let er rip. It wasn't more than 3 minutes before I could smell and see smoke.
I took a
before pic and will take an
after pic to show seasoning and post tomorrow.
I have pre-made plans during the day Saturday and Sunday (part-time work and Harley ride on Sunday) that will preclude me from smoking until late in the day....but it's so close I may end up doing the first batch late into the night. I have my Foodsaver perforated 2 portion size bag/rolls which allows for any length to be selected and I'll try saving a whole rack and a some half racks for comparison purposes. After the seasoning pics I will start a new thread in the pertinent areas to avoid confusion for users when browsing for information.
More Later......
