Did I need it? No, but it's much easier to get in the back of the van. This one is a 30 gallon, the other a 55. Besides, I sold a cooker last week. Going to hang some ribs at the contest this weekend!

That Gateway Drum looks a lot like a PBC without horseshoe handles and with exhaust pipes instead of rebars/rebar holes. Love the colors it comes in.

I bet it smokes great, CandySueQ . Have a ball cooking on it.
