    Great cook right there.  Should generate some decent revenue.
    Hopefully you have some help feeding the sticks.

    Great pics Hotch! Looks awesome! Did you notice any difference in smoke flavor between the main chamber and the warming box cooks? That's if you snuck any bites. ;) Was there a big difference in wood consumption when using both the main chamber and warming box compared to just the main chamber?

    Job well done brother.  Dumb question, is that salt in the first picture?  Assuming that is there to absorb some of the grease to prevent scorching and creating an "off" taste.

    saluki2007 Yes it is. Cooking at 325+ in the warmer the charcoal pan (aka Drip Pan) is hot. So I used @Mickey 's trick to absorb the butt fat dripping from above. This helped eliminate having a grease fire. I did have a small one in the back corner.

    @WeberWho Thanks. I used post oak for this run. It was well seasoned so the smoke was very mild. The smoke flavor seemed equal between the main and warmer. I fiddled with both baffles throughout the cook to keep each cook chamber within their respective temp ranges. I'll post the stick schedule a bit later today. Now I'm fix'n to light her up to warm all of the pans before delivering them over to the school.

    @Thatgrimguy Thanks guys. Scott as you know it is not as easy as it looks.
    I did enjoy it and I'm one tired son of a gun.
    Warm-up took from 9:00 am to 1:30 pm today.
    And yes I will do it again!!
    A few pics of today's work, final in the warming cabinet and the cook report.
    Thanks for looking!

    That's an impressive cook and equally impressive smoker.  And really nice of you to volunteer your time for a good cause.  AAA+

    Any road will take you there if you don't know where you're going.
