A smoker fills up with lots of GREASE over the course of a long smoking summer. An electric smoker never gets hot enough to burn this grease off. The grease is hard to clean up! Despite this shortcoming I was looking forward to yet another summer of smoking goodness, and then a wind storm came through.
Classic Kuna. We have a wind storm every 2 weeks during the spring and we'd done all the usual things to ensure the backyard held together. The one thing I overlooked was the smoker. Over the din of 30 mile per hour winds comes the 50 mile per hour gust and away goes the smoker! It tumbled about 3 times and expired right there in front of me. Her door torn off, the electronic controls crushed and what was once a nice rectangular box now was misshapen and lifeless.
We wrapped her in a plastic bag and dumped her in the trash. Amen.
With the mourning process over I present the replacement smoker: The LANDMANN USA 3405GW 34" Smoky Mountain Gas Smoker. (name changed to protect the innocent)
Note modification: The Searcy Swap. |
Since this is propane heated I will be able to crank it up and burn off the grease. It will NEVER look this clean again however. |
It is now time to season the beast!
