      @@buddahmayne9273 Home Depot $500 . for this price its unbeatable IMO. Yes I added all the same upgrades that CJ covers in his video's. I have smoked 5 briskets, and every other type of meat every weekend with great success. Pros. The sliding grates make it super easy to cook on, tons of space., easy to clean. Consistent temp control. Cons ... The lid was welded crooked, I put some extra gasket around it and its working fine. Same with the fire box had to add some gasket, no big deal.

      Felt like it! We’re eating good all week. And yeah there’s some leaks around the fire box. But I got impatient and closed it down before it caught. I’ll do a start to finish cook on it. And figure some mods too.
