I SEARCHED ALL OVER FOR A SMOKER THAT WOULD HOLD A FULL SLAB OF RIBS WITH OUT HAVING TO CUT IT INTO TWO PIECES. THIS ONE DOES THAT WITH MANY RIBS.  IF YOU ARE COOKING FOR A CROWD, THEN THIS IS THE ONE YOU NEED.
I HAD TO PUT IT TOGETHER BY MYSELF, AND PUT IT ON WHEELS TO MOVE IT AROUND. A HELPER WOULD HAVE BEEN GREAT.
 IT DOESN'T TAKE LONG TO FIND THE RIGHT COMBINATION OF COAL AND DAMPER SETTINGS TO KEEP THE TEMPERATURE AT 220-240.
I DID NOTICE THE OIL BELOW THE DOOR (THE FIRST TIME), AND SOME SMALL SMOKE LEAKS, BUT THE OIL CLEANED UP, AND THE LEAKS ARE NO PROBLEM WHEN THE TEMPERATURE IS WARM- BESIDES, AFTER ALL, IT'S A SMOKER.
SO, THROW ON SOME RIBS, THEN ADD SOME CORN ON THE COBB, INVITE ALL YOUR FRIENDS (AND THEIRS), OR HAVE YOUR SELF A POLITICAL RALLY.
