That looks fiitin there Jack. Isn't that the pit Aaron uses in one of his videos ?
This one...
The same smoker...in fact, that's why I bought that smoker - it is A F certified.
I know there is a new member here who is asking about a smoker. IMO this is a good smoker for $400.00. It is probably a solid "beginner" smoker that won't get you all frustrated IF you understand the A F way to manage fire and smoke.
His book is titled "Franklin Barbecue: A Meat-Smoking Manifesto". It is very helpful for the beginner and intermediate smoker and very interesting for anyone who likes to cook outdoors. Available on Amazon for about $17 bucks.
