After 14 years, it was finally time to get a new smoker...

Bein a Seabee, I never even, in 8 yrs US Navy Service once trod upon th deck of a USS; we were delivered by Air Det, ie:Herky Birds, Shithooks, Hueys, when things was tight...later on, some Blackhawks, too..., "First To Go, Last To Know "

I can't take credit for it. I saw it in the MAK Facebook group and was real happy with how simple and good it was. Vary the seasoning and you can totally change the flavor profile to match whatever you want.

Thanks and take the plunge. I'm a big fan of how easy and quick it is to use a pellet grill.

Bubbleheads are...uh...special.

Bubblehead...

Thanks and I did get the blank flamezone pan. I have a Napolean gasser, so I’ve never even installed the original flamezone pan.

Thank you, Shipmate. Mr. Bones It was great to have Seabees on det with you. If you needed something fixed or built, it could be arranged with a few cases of beer or a couple of bottles of hooch. Always enjoyed working with Seabees.

Thank you for your service as well.

Nice idea with a rub on smoked cheese. Wish I had thought of that.

There's an early gen 1 star in excellent condition for 600 bucks in PA for sale. Won't be a great griller like the newer ones, but should pump out excellent smoke for a pellet grill... or a certain someone has a very upgraded newer 2 star for a lot more half a days drive away

Great write up as well as pictures. It looks like you have set the bar pretty high.

Hearing posts like this makes me revisit getting a pellet smoker.
Thanks for the write up 👍and giving me that itch again 😬😁

glitchy I want it, I don't need it... and I'm saving up for the super smoker box that is insanely expensive... but ya never know, I can hide the blank flame zone purchase a little easier
