My son came across this at a garage sale and I had to buy it...The guy wanted 250 for it but finally came down to 225 when I pointed out all that was wrong with it...He claims it is only three years old but I dont believe it...I dont know how it could get in this condition in only three years...
The rust is just surface rust and will clean up easily...Thermo is gone...Ill probably just plug the hole...Need to fix the handle on the firebox...that looks like something I would hurt myself on for sure...One wheel is held on with a hose clamp and the other with a bent nail...some people...
This clown had been using it as a charcoal grill...I suppose it may work for that but the racks he had built the fire on were warped from the heat and curved to fit the bottom of the smoker...not gonna do much good that way...Hope to get some decent grates built for it soon along with a heat diverter and maybe some tuning plates...
Finally a fire box big enough to build a fire in...Will need to build a fire grate for the box as there isnt one...dont know if he was trying to burn on the bottom or what...Had to lube the air intake and the latch to the door because they had rusted in place...Seems like he hadnt used it much lately...
I cant wait to build a fire in it but I think it will be some while before she's ready to be cooked on...
