Many thanks fer them kind words, brother!
It was a lot tougher than I ever imagined, since I 'd never, previous, bothered to imagine winnin...
They was a bunch of super quality cookers, an other gear on offer; in th end, I decided (correctly) that this one was most closely aligned with who I am, where I come from, an what I do...
As my last pic clearly demonstrates, reckon I still need to learn how to cook, but at least I gots me a cool cooker to learn on!
That really is a purty lookin cooker, brother! If the dice ever fall in my favor for the great giveaway, I have to believe the GOOR would be a serious contender for me!
thedonald78 Th GOOR can definitely handle winter cooks; these pics was taken 13JAN19
Ambient was in th 20s, 10-15 mph variable winds, very humid.
1 unlit chimley KBB, 1 lit. Smallish hickory splits were added, as needed.
I had to damper her down; she was wantin to climb above 350° dome temp...
Run a few racks of spares, avg ~275°...
Well, I have eyed the Good One in the Great Give Away and I think it would make a great versatile grill. I am a Kamado guy at heart, and if you are going to one grill a Kamado does everything well, but isn’t the best at anything. If you are only interested in grilling and low and slow and cold weather cooking isn’t an issue I think the Good One is a great choice. Also, moving it in and out of the garage might be easier with the Good One.
Looks like this discussion died off, but I'm hoping to revive it. I'm having a mid-life bbq crisis of sorts and I'm leaning hard toward liquidating my GMG Daniel Boone, home-made UDS, and my standard Weber Kettle to create garage space and consolidate into one unit. Much like the original poster here, I've been looking at the The Good Done Open Range and Heritage Ovens, the Meadow Creek PR36 and SQ36, and the Assassin 36 and 48. What I really want is a high-quality charcoal cooker with decent (tailgating for 15-30 people) capacity that I can cook on easily with direct heat or smoke with consistent (and reasonably low) temps for hours and hours when I want to. I'm really intrigued by the Assassin grills, but it would cost $600 just to ship one to me in MT. Meadow Creek and The Good One both have dealers in Colorado, which I could make work. The other option I'm considering is a Weber Performer set up with a SNS and a fan/controller. Thoughts, opinions, recommendations? I don't see much on here about Assassin. Anyone with much experience with Meadow Creek cookers? Hasty Bake is another that I would consider, but the closest dealer is a long ways away . . .
Oh, and I'd like something that is decently insulated (or just efficient enough) that I can cook on it in the winter. Our tailgates stretch into late November in Montana . . . thanks!

I am signed up to take a BBQ class with Mr. Chris Marks from Kansas and a Good One advocate. I do not have a Good One, but hear nothing but Good Things about them!
Love her madly, gits used a lot, always happy with both how she cooks, an th foods I've made on her... other folks are amazed when they eat th food, an I feed a LOT of folks...
Gimme a lil time to collect myself, an I'll give ya some places to start with my experiences with her...
If ya have any specific questions, shoot em my way, an I'll be happy to help, as best I can!
Hi everyone wondering if anyone has any experience on these rigs. I'm thinking about pulling the pin and buying one of these smokers but can decide between the two. Pros and cons would be great. Thanks
