Chicago checking in!
« on: October 22, 2015, 12:32:24 PM »
Just unpacked my #2 (shipped in one day) and it's outside seasoning right now. Probably won't be able to use it until the weekend, and it's killing me. lol

Looking forward to being a part of the forum.

I've been a professional chef for 9 years and this is the first smoker I've owned myself. Researched for a month before I decided on electric, and then a Smokin-it, and then a #2. It was exhausting but I know I've made the right choice. :)

Hey Jeff, you could season everyday until the weekend. This way you "feel" like you are using it...and the extra seasoning will not hurt one bit  8)

Congrats on a very wise purchase  :)

Welcome from Delaware, Jeff!   You will love the #2...I know I do!  Let us know when you get some meat in it!

Thanks everyone! Seasoned it up and have some salmon soaking up some good flavors for tomorrow. For now, it's tucked away nicely.

Need to get me a prep table eventually too. When actually smoking, I can pull the #2 out from the porch a bit to keep the smoke away. I'll do the salmon tomorrow once the cherry wood is delivered. I'll be back. :)

One accessory I recommend is a cart.  The SI cart works well (I have it for my #2), but lots of alternatives out there.  It's really nice to have that dude up to "working" height!

I use a plastic 4' fold up table as my "work station," right next to the smoker.  Cleans easy, and provides plenty of room!

I'm thinking of something very similar.  8)
