Received my 42" x 24" Elevated Straight back with Rotated Warmer from Tyler Shirley this week. Kevin at Legendary Transport did a great job getting it home safely and kept in contact throughout the process. The pairing of Shirley / Legendary Transport has proven to be exceptional service. My wife isn't as interested in my new girlfriend as you folks may be, so I thought I'd show her off to you guys!
In transport...I estimate she'll produce (9) Briskets or (15) Racks of Ribs in the Main Chamber.
(3) Racks with (5) Rails for different height adjustments.
(3) Racks in the Warmer with (5) Rails & (2) Sausage Rods
Coming up to temperature, slowly curing the paint.
Small fire w/ lump charcoal base for curing the paint.
Side View
After a few hours, at 150-170F, slowly bumping the temps to 200F. Damper control between the main/warmer/firebox allowed steady temps across both chambers - approximately 200F.
Medium fire allowing 200F.
I continued to cure the paint throughout the evening hours and settled in around 250. I then held temps for a few hours, which was relatively simple with a good coal base. Once the wood was exhausted, I left the firebox cracked slightly with the stack open to slowly come down in temperature throughout the night.
Today, she'll be cooking some baby backs for her maiden voyage. Thanks for taking the time to look, cheers!
*Edit: I have two mottos in life... 1) Buy once, cry once. 2) Ask forgiveness, not permission.
