Awesome, congrats! That makes me feel lucky with my timeline - ordered in Jan, arrived in May..
This was me a couple weeks ago...haven't gotten to use in the snow yet, but standing by that fire with the warmth and aroma while it's cold out is a pretty awesome feeling. Esp when you know you're going to get to eat the meat after..

I got my burn-in started. I decided to spray the inside with canola oil, and then used the firebox to heat it up. Also gives me a chance to practice with temperature regulation.
I am getting a lot of smoke leaking from the right side of the lid - both front and back. There is more coming from there than there is from the chimney.
Although, after closer inspection - it may be mostly smoking oil from my spray down. I definitely have heat coming from the chimney, so it is doing what it is supposed to do.
was going to post a quick video, but apparently it won’t accept the native iPhone .mov format.
Any thoughts on the smoke leakage?

I don’t have too terribly much smoke leakage when I use the firebox. With AK temps I’m not sure how it affects the size of the fire, but I typically run wide open both vents and maintain a smaller fire. I’ll start with two splits and a small chimney of coals and add a decent sized split as the temps start to dip. Mine rides between 250-270 with that approach.

Did you use the firebox or direct chamber?
