I guess Dan isn't going to come back... for a little closure, I ended up buying his 3DW. It was a good excuse to do a weekend road trip with a little site-seeing and get a smoker that looks like it had barely had the seasoning smoke performed at an incredible price.
He did tell me what he inherited, but I forget what it was. At the time I got to his location there was a huge storm about 20 minutes out, so I was purely focused on getting the smoker loaded and secured.
Once I've ensured I'm happy with the new smoker I'll probably put my #2 up for sale. Right now it could really go either direction... if you check my prior posts you'll see that I'm actually very happy with the analog controls. I just couldn't pass up such a good deal.
