Well this last weekend I got tired of the electric smoker and purchased and
assembled a char-griller with the side fore box. The knock-out panels ain't as
easy as they indicate. Whew!

Probably not the best and probably not the worst.

I also picked up a chimney starter and some lump. I'm sitting with a large
bag of red oak from the Santa Maria area. :-) It does make great tri-tip.

I just finished seasoning the grills and parts and intend of using it this
weekend for some tri-tip and maybe some chicken - I'll wait for a hoard of
people before doing a whole brisket.

If anyone has one of these monsters - I would be delighted to get some advice,
suggestions or comments.

Thanks,

Dimitri
