Wow what a job!
I just assembled my new smoker and I must say it looks good but I have rebuilt a Chevy 283 with less hassle.
Now to season it. I think I will be smoking a boston butt by Monday!

What kind of smoker Sam? Did the directions follow the Chinese\English methodology? 
Those usually end up with a few parts left over!0 -

My last one was a Cajun Injector that was just about the same and it lasted 10 years.
I plan on smoking a Boston Butt for BBQ a rack of ribs and 2 chickens(for chicken salad) Smoked chicken salad is really really good
I am not sure where its made but the instructions are in American, Mexican and Frog.0 -

My last put together project had over 10 different language directions. One, I'm pretty sure was Klingon!0 -
Man it got hot fast. I know its empty and I am just running it to season it and get rid of all the funky chinese chemicals(Or wherever they come from)but it warmed up to 350 fast on Med temp quick.
I think it will do well once meat is in it.
I like the propane smokers because they are easy to set the temp on.
I have a straight up wood only smoker I made, its works well but its big and kind of a PITA to work especially maintaining the right temps, you have to be on it all the time. These propane smokers are almost set it and forget it.
I have apple and pecan in it right now seasoning it.0 -
I have one like it and it makes my butt look good! Don 0 -

I spent a week on business in Boston back in the 70's. Lots of butts need roasting there.0 -
Ive been using an electric Cookshack made in Ponca OK for the last 15 years. Still like the day I bought it for about 1000 bucks, except for the smoke residual. Smoke cooking is a great way to prepare meals. Whole chickens are one of my favorites. Nice looking rig, should do anything mine will do and probably better. 0 -
When our youngest son was about 5 or 6 my dad bought him a combination monkey bars, swing set, with gym type rings and a slide etc. That thing had a bag of bolts and nuts and parts that filled up a 5 gallon bucket. Plus it had to be concreted in the ground.
After that I started buying my mom stuff for her birthday and Christmas that needed a lot of assembly which I knew dad would have to do.0 -
Haha! I would gladly have traded spots with you. Here is what I got to put together today...... 0 -
Not the job I was imagining. I was thinking maybe you found/saw a paying job of duct taping neither regions of folks in drag shows.
Kind a waiting on instructions in emojis. Going back to Hieroglyphics or pictograms. Who needs to read?0 -
