A couple weeks ago I purchased a used original all black smoker and I have to say that I love it! I was able to snag it on Craigslist for 50 bucks! I've had a learning curb! Couple of weeks ago I caught the whole thin on fire but after a shipment from yard and pool of a new burner fuse and sensor( for a fresh overhaul) im back to smoking some ribs thanks to the info I found here on this forum!
good luck and welcome to the forum
