oh yea!!

seasoning is done, I used a few of my homemade pucks, too. I had 3, one I tried burning (worked ok) the other 2 acted as bubba pucks.

ramped the temp up and down a few times trying to get a feel for it (even though it was empty of course) the thermo on the door was actually prety close to my remote.

ready for the weekend

yea buddy

yea...Brad seems like an indoor type of guy though. I did not get a cover for him so he will spend a lot of his days in the garage.

His first date is Saturday with Ms. Butterball.

the kids gonna grow up quick, they always do!!!!

Now if you want, you could turn the old upright into a nice cold smoker by running an aluminum dryer hose between the Bradley vent on top, and the old upright intake.

Hint

When smoking Ms Butterball keep the vent all the way open.

Good catch 812!

Poultry holds a lot of moisture and you need the vent open 100% the entire time to let the moisture out. Otherwise it can hold your temps down, condensate and drip a black nasty tasting liquid on Mrs. Butterball and can cause smoke to back up into your generator destroying it over time.
