Bought this earlier this week before Panhead John made his post about the sale on Broncos (one is on the way). There is no model number on the data tag, just a serial number. The grate area is the same as the Longhorn model so that is what I'm calling it. This was made after OKJ sold out to Char-Broil but it is still pretty stout. The metal is 1/8" thick. The stainless shelf came with it when new.
My friend stored it in his garage. He cleaned it, covered it with cooking oil, and burned it at about 350o yesterday but advised me to go ahead and get it hotter. As you can see in the third pic I fired it up and left it wide open - it got to 550o in no time. I was impressed that there really wasn't any billowing white smoke either, it was mostly blue to clear as the fire took hold and the temperature rose.
Tomorrow I will be smoking the Akaushi wagyu brisket I got from Troutman awhile back. Its dry brining now.
