Well congrats to you man! I almost feel like an unofficial Broil King rep here as I have a history with them and their Keg. I own 3 of them and am friends with a few of their employees. The bottle opener thing is big with them, it's something that is simple and yet wonder why every grill doesn't have one, lol. I've always wanted another offset but like you, I don't want a $150.00 one, been there done that. I may have to see what kind of deal I might be able to talk myself into with my BK contacts
I am looking forward to you doing a cook. Might I suggest brisket? That, to me, is THE best thing to cook in an offset and is a true barometer of how well your smoker smokes. One last observation, I like how it almost seems as if it were made just for you and it has your name under the words Broil King!
Great write up, now go cook on that bad boy and let us know your thoughts, we're all waiting!!!!
