1. Nearly twice the the engine displacement, and much more horsepower - the Xb will shock you with quickness, and handling

2. More interior space - noticeably, measurably- not just "numbers"

3. Better fuel milage from the Xb than the Kia.

4. No hoodie required in the Xb ;)

I drive the Xb - my daughter and son in law have the Kia Soul.

Just tryin to help.... ;D

Post by: ACW3 on February 21, 2012, 09:36:46 PM: I still think Rick would look good in a hoodie; kinda punk-like. "Rick, the punk sausage maker." Nah, doesn't work well for me. Chrystal may disagree.

Uh.....he might get arrested if he gets a rep with that "AKA"....

Smoke- "hoodie" - on of those pull over or zip up jackets with an attached hood.....typically used as a fashion statement by...uh...hamsters!

( See Kia Soul commercials - they are funny)

Post by: ACW3 on February 22, 2012, 08:53:46 AM: I played around with a similar design to add to my MAK. Still have the plans and a place to have it made, but I'm not sure it is the best way to go, at least for me. Basically it allows you to hang sausage in the cold smoker side. As delivered, the space in the MAK is limited for cold smoking sausage. You can't hang sausage.

From the prototype I made quite a while back, the taller cabinet filled nicely with "cold smoke". I found that I lost some of the smoke due to the side vents on the original box. In my redesign I had to block those off and provide a vent toward the top to "pull" the smoke through the new box. It might be cheaper to buy a Bradley or find a proofer and adapt a Traeger type fire pot, kind of like Rick has already done. That is where I am right now. I'm in no hurry to make that decision. It only costs money.

The fan circulates the heat and smoke inside the Bradley cabinet. I did 5 lbs of sticks in 5 hours.
