Blind luck,
Congratulations on the purchase. It is a great smoker. When you have the time use the Introduction section and give us a first name and maybe tell us a little about yourself. We are all family here.

Love to hear that it's working out for you... not that there was a lot of risk involved from my perspective. I might have passed through you neighborhood once about a year ago. My daughter and I flew into Seattle and then drove to Central Washington University so she could check it out. It was interesting getting back to the airport as it snowed overnight. I was in a rental car and it would seem they don't automatically equip them with chains. I ended up driving back slowly through the snow without chains even though the signs were indicating they were required. Fortunately, I've had a lot of experience driving in snow and so it really wasn't ever remotely difficult, but I am glad that I didn't end up stuck... I suspect there would have been a nasty fine involved.
