First cook with the new base

bweekes

Cracked my XL base a week ago and finally got the replacement and everything put back together. I was itching to cook all week so fired her up this morning to do some beef ribs. Peach and oak wood for smoke. Gave it a good bark then wrapped in butcher paper and sauced for the last hour or so. Pics will surely be out of order.

Thanks boss!  Got a kick out of the contrast between the base and the dome.

And I'm curious about the "hat". looks good for wet weather fires.

Yes the Smokeware chimney is a pretty common accessory. Works great in the rain and retains your vent setting when you open the dome. http://smokeware.com/collections/chimney-caps
