Did the first smoke today. I did chicken thighs because they are forgiving and quick, could’ve let them crisp up a little more at a higher temp. They came out incredible as expected. I’ll be doing beef ribs and beef shank next week.
I had to take the lid completely off and fix the brackets on top because the lid wouldn’t close all the way. I used a plastic trash can for my grease trap because my grease bucket hasn’t arrived in the mail yet. Other than that it worked great.

I have the same smoker – got mine for $300 used but in near-mint condition. Been awesome.
Do burgers, as well. You’ll never grill a burger again after you have them off the smoker.
Mix a little Meat Church Blanco into the meat while you’re making the patties. I like a little lime juice, as well, personally. Smoke them on the lowest setting for ~45-60 minutes, then crank it up to ~350 till they hit temp. So good.
Money!!! Looks great!
You basically paid for the shelf.
Is that a bug gun?
Nice pickup!!! And a good plan for next week too!
Great score you got
