After I read the new review that was bragging about what a good deal this was for 299 I checked online. I checked online and Walmart has them on clearance for 184$ Well at that price, MCS has really kicked in. what a score

I had to gut it out to go down some stairs, bout took me down anyway.
-
They just suggest a burn in with half a basket of coals. They also suggest wiping the interior surfaces with vegetable oil after cleanup. I cooked porl belly burnt ends so right now there is plenty of oil. As soon as I get around to it I will wipe the stuff in there as I have another big cook for Sunday dinner. OK, just a 16 pound prime brisket and ribs. SO a small cook.

Every time I see one of these deals I jump on Walmart's website up here and have my hopes dashed....not available....
I can however buy the cover for the not available smoker for $76.12....my hero....

To search on walmart's site to show that it was available I had to select the individual store. of the 8 stores around me it was available at 2 of them.Â
@fracmeister: ​​​​​​​Thanks for posting this, this is my first post but I did end up buying this tonight.

I am cooking 2 briskets. 6 racks of ribs, jalapeno poppers, sausages, grilled veggies and pork belly burnt ends. So it looks like a 3 smoker night! The Yoder, Weber and Oklahoma Joe all get filled up today. Out of an abundance of caution I smoked some bacon on it first (temperature errors not so important) after last night's burn in.
STATUS: OK Joe is holding 223F on my first setting and no adjustments. Stable for an hour. Taking this as a sign from heaven,Last edited by fracmeister; August 13, 2019, 12:32 PM.

So have they fixed that issue with the smoke stack construction on these? I remember last year when it first came out, there was an issue when you assembled them, with alignment and fit of the two part stack, or maybe it was the inlet vent?

I had no alignment problems with anything except I had to push down on the axle a bit to get it to go through both holes. Of course if my DAD had been assembling it he would have left the bits that hold the axles not fully tightened until after the axle was in place. He was clever like that
-
That was corrected early. It was the inlet.
