Watcha got growing in your old base? Herbs?  Looks good brotha!  

Used to be jalapeños and herbs but those are weeds . It's rained so much here we didn't get our veggies in this year.

CT won't shoot you, but you may see watermelons flying at you. Your best refuge may be the pool, though it's filled mostly with urine since the only thing getting above the water is his eyes and nose due to the heat.

@SGH Especially if you roll with wheel barrels full of Benjamin's like ***  Figure I'd beat you to the punch.  In all seriousness that isn't bad especially if it'll get good usage. Heck it's only money. We can't take it with us when we become worm food. Looks to be a double walled 304SS (or maybe 316 or 402)? @The Cen-Tex Smoker Specs on it?  Disregard my question if this has already been discussed. I didn't read every comment in the thread yet.

Damnit, I don't have room for another cooker. Time to pour that slab I guess. I wonder how it would stand up to weather? Not just monsoons, but the winter crap we put up with here north of the Mason Dixon.

Materials wise it is all good quality stainless steel so no worries there. The control box does contain electrical motors but they are sealed and not likely bothered by the weather. The heat of the unit (and it does get HOT) should eliminate any concerns about them freezing up.

One potential problem would be heavy rain. The control box itself probably wouldn't be too much of a problem. However, both the control box and firebox simply lay on top of the cook chamber and heavy rain could/would, given the flat surface of the cook chamber easily drain into the cook chamber. That would not be a real problem with the firebox slot but could be problematic with the holes for the control box. The control box has two fans - one that acts like a fan in a convection oven and seems to run full time to move the air/heat/smoke around in the cook chamber and the other is the exhaust fan that basically sucks/pulls air out of the cook chamber which then suck air/heat/smoke down from the firebox.

My guess is that in heavy rains any water that hits those fans while trying to drain into the cook chamber might mess up the electronics or thermostat.  In any case the inventor of the KBQ does not recommend that it be used during rainy weather.

I plan to make some sort of shield/shelter so if I get caught up in a typical afternoon thunderstorm I can keep rain from hitting the KBQ itself.

That, sir, is insane. Made me weak in the knees for a bit.

The control box (with the electronics) would need to be covered or indoors in bad weather. The other 2 pcs are stainless steel boxes.

I think you have pretty fantastic neighbors already.

@The Cen-Tex Smokercan cook, but the late night parties and fireworks would get old.

I assure you they would not.

Did you put a meat thermometer in it after you wrapped it?

@Eggcelsior I have three kids. Urine just doesn't faze me anymore

@20stone is your hippy pig farm down in that area?

Awesome looking brisket.  The dishwasher is new to me....

Must be nice to have that The Cen-Tex Smoker money buried in mason jars in the backyard !!!  If I had that kind of money, I'd trade the wife's dishwasher in on one like yours !!!

I love the results !!

Thanks for posting and enlightening my dishwasher education !!

Weak in the knees is your baseline.  Some of us are trying to make you strong in the knees but you resist.

I resist because I know those "some of us".

And to get this thread back on topic, that sure is a clean brisket.  That's a very intriguing dishwasher.

no. I didn't wrap during the cook. I wrapped it and turned the temp down to 140 when it felt right right. It was around 195 most spots. I held it in there for about an hour or so at 140. that was pretty cool to be able to dial the temp down and use the rest of the wood to keep it warm while I was holding it. worked really well.

it's actually single walled. It's designed to lose heat so it can suck in more smoke. it's the opposite of a bge.  Very fuel inefficient by design. I bet I went through 30# of wood to cook an 8 lb brisket.

It cooks fine in low temps, just uses a little more fuel. he recommends keeping the control box out of the elements when not in use. I would have a cover made for it if you were planning on leaving it outside. as mentioned by Heavy G- it will get rain inside of it if you leave it out. it won't hurt it- it's 100% stainless and it has drain holes on the floor- but it sounds messy.

I don't see it doing well if exposed to heavy rain. The firebox is on top and open. It comes with a lid but I don't think I would want the control box out in rain either.

^^^ #feedmemorewood But, hey that's back to basics in the smoked protein world. Lawd knows my old smallish R.F. Offset ate fuel.  However, the results were worth the effort. Gotta love having another vessel to add to the arsenal.

I have caught a glimpse of the dirty hippy hairy hog and the minis that come with it. Marbling on them suckers is jaw dropping.

Given the tone of the discussion surrounding the effort, there may be no pix that we are able to share on a public forum.

In the meantime, here is the hairy hog in question (along with some pre-bacon):

That's what I'm talking about. We have about 300 lbs of that headed our way this weekend. And 4 little piggies to feed our habit for the next 2 years. I can wait to get some of this on the kbq. And my eggs. I love my eggs.
