    First of our new RF patio smokers

    After a few head aches with other factors in life, I trailered home one of our RF patio units that I am delivering tonight.  20 inch diameter by 36 inch long smoke chamber, and an 18 inch aquare firebox.  Both the grate in the smoke chamber and firebox are pull out.  What do you guys think?
