Found this poor lil' feller on CL, he looked in need of a home where he'll be loved!
Figgered what with the cover, n' chimley, it was impossible to pass up. It'll be just great for searin', or doin' yardbird while the smoke's rollin' outta the others.

I think you'll use it more than you initially think! Nice find! All I find on CL is 40yr old bent-leg ones that the owners still want $80 for. It's kind of comical.
Hi, my name is Darrell. I'm an OTR truck driver for over 25 years. During my off time I love doing backyard cooks. I have a 48" Lang Deluxe smoker, Rec-Tec pellet smoker,1 Weber Genesis 330, 1 Weber Performer (blue), 2 Weber kettles (1 black and 1 Copper), 1 26" Weber kettle, a WSM, 8 Maverick Redi Chek thermometers, a PartyQ, 2 SnS, Grill Grates, Cast Iron grates, 1 ThermoPop (orange) and 2 ThermoPens (pink and orange) and planning on adding more cooking accessories. Now I have an Anova sous vide, the Dragon blower and 2 Chef alarms from Thermoworks.
I like to choose my cooker based upon needed capacity. I have the Smokey Joe, 22 Performer and 26. Lately the 22 has provided more than enough capacity and I would have used the 18, if I owned one.
EdF ,I was thinkin' th' same thing when I posted: I have a Zero-Kill Cooker Shelter lol! Or, perhaps, more like "The Island of Misfit Cookers", heehee! ;-)

I just zoomed in on the pic of that little fella and see he was abused as a youngin. Got his head bashed in. That's a shame. But I think he has a good home now. Take care of him. And show us some pics of what he can do.
Whew!!! You had me a' goin', there. Steve B ! I thought I missed somethin'. When I picked him up, didn't even look, not for that price. Why be like that?
Jus' loaded him up in the SuBourbon (sic), an' headed home; I had a butt goin' on the OK Joe's...
I just went out an' pulled th' cover, gave a visual, n' Braille inspection of his dome, an' I'm happy to report that, unlike me, he's neither gotten his head bashed in as a young'un, nor had any TBI's as an adult. Yay!!!
Must be a trick of the light playin' off it, in the pic.
'Preciate yer concern, though. Downright neighborly!

Thanks for th' kind words, Amigo! Much appreciated!
Ah'm both a Dumbass, n' a Smartass, so entertainin' stuff jus' natcherly comes a flyin' out my pie hole, most any ol' time my lips part! ;-)
It's a gift!
The best part of the CL story is that the seller and I ended up talking cue for ~ 30 minutes in the HV parking lot, just like we all get to do here every day. Faves, techniques, dishes, tips, tricks., etc., usw. Very cool!
He had gotten a Kamado Kamodo some time back.'Didn't use the Weber recently.'
Throughout all our discussion, I mentioned first, then reminded him (4-5x) to drop by here, check the place out. He seemed interested, and eager, repeated it several times for me.
I sure hope he does! Nice, bright young feller'.

Just finished doin' my first cook on the Lil' Feller, some 85/15 ground chuck patties, and a few gourmet jalapeño cheddar brat burgers, all from HyVee.
Just enough for supper, and lunch tomorrow.
As soon as the iPud recharges a bit, I'll post some pics. Until then, gonna enjoy a well-earned Guinness, and practice my carrier cats n traps...

MBMorgan Yup. Guilty, for long many years! CFS1 / CFS2.
I've spent a LOT of time researching the A/Cs, and tuning the flight characteristics for reality.
Have mega hundreds of dl A/C, spend a lotta time just flight testing (and testing, and..)
Airfile editing helps keep me offa the streets at night, I should be eligible for a guvmint grant or summat!
I've got some down pretty dang close to real; here's an example:
Okay, y'all, here goes. Lil' Feller's First Cook:
25 briquets Kingsford Hickory. In retrospect, needed to use more...
Last minute addition, post ignition: painstakingly handcrafted accessory hooks, i.e. some 12 ga THHN scrappies I stuck in my pocket at work for just such an occasion! Ended up draggin' my lil' table alongside, to make life easier... Almost ready...
Chuck patties...
Eatin' one nekkid, Swiss on th' next... all good!
KC Masterpiece Hickory Brown Sugar on the last burger...
Lil' Feller, standing' by fer Duty...
Jalapeño Cheddar brat burgers turned out great, as well!

G'night, y'all!!! (Burrpp!!)
Sweet Dreams!
