What are we having? Pulled pork, smoked turkey, or should I show up with Atlantic salmon fillets? It would have to be a really fast direct-drive to get out there while the fish is edible. Nobody that likes seafood should move to Kansas!Pengwuino said:

My wife claims the whole month or July as her "birthday". It works, since I spoil her anyway.collinsmark said:

No just one poor guy, he was struggling. It's hard to get a decent grip on a box like that.dlgoff said:

Delivery guys around here have to claim to handle 70# boxes, and when they have to do it alone, that sucks! Plus that pretty much precludes women from many delivery jobs. I have a good back and hand-strength, but hugging a corrugated box with no hand-holds is tough. I'll help the delivery guys get parcels into my attached garage and break the packages down in there, so I can move the products in manageable pieces.Evo said:

How much does that smoker weigh? Amazon indicates about 50 lbs. That's a large box too (~20''x20''x35''). It really should have two guys handling that while in the box.dlgoff said:
May sure you've got someone strong enough to move it to the patio. Maybe EC's bf can do it.

This is my best tool friend

It moved around hunderds of smoker equivalent weights. When it crumbled finally, after many years of faithful service, it was replaced within a few days.

Ok, I am in the final leg of curing my smoker. I added the wood chips. This design is brilliant. You add the chips through an insert chamber in the side, so no opening the smoker, and it uses natural wood chips, no artificial prefabricated pellets. Literally within seconds after adding the wood I started to smell smoke. It is smoking like crazy right now. I've been standing over the smoker and I smell delicious.
Ok, you're all invited to a smoke fest! For our veggie lovers, it does vegetables too, with or without smoke.

Well, yeah! I probably smell delicious after hovering over the locomotive and tending the meats, but I might not have put it quite that way.Evo said:
