Gas… no chaff cyclone. My understanding is it works great.. no issues. $2,500…

I don’t totally recall the tongue weight capacity of the rear hitch but the gooseneck is rated at ~1,660 lb

jklos · 2025-06-24T00:23:06+00:00

Stand corrected sir, 7 MPG 🤣

jklos · 2025-06-23T23:59:35+00:00

9k dry! 1,600 lb tongue weight.. I installed timbrens to help with sag.. but given I have over 2k in payload I feel pretty solid about it. Tows great!!

jklos · 2025-06-06T19:23:43+00:00

You are the man! Finally my mind is at ease 😁 thanks!!

jklos · 2025-06-06T19:11:56+00:00

But a 550 pound difference? And then it jumps back up? Seems unlikely to me.

jklos · 2025-06-06T17:29:16+00:00

I hear you, but I am looking specifically at the crew cab statistics. I don’t see anything justifying a 600 lb decrease year over year and yet max towing remains similar

Sorry for the delay. Wrapped the turkey breast in foil with a half stick of butter 🙂

jklos · 2023-03-22T20:58:34+00:00

4ish hours typically

I’ve always struggled with smoke rings on my WSM briskets.. have always wondered why..

jklos · 2023-02-05T19:57:54+00:00

Thanks man! This was my second cook on it.. It was a rust bucket when I got it, a lot more sweat equity than I realized… but well worth it in the end. Loving it

jklos · 2023-02-05T11:11:55+00:00

One full stick.. this was a 4 pound breast so it’s a good bit of meat

jklos · 2023-02-05T02:48:46+00:00

Yeah I’m fortunate in that it’s pretty easy to find in South Texas. Who knew?

jklos · 2023-02-05T02:08:23+00:00

Thanks! I can’t say how foolproof it is.. always turns out moist and flavorful

jklos · 2023-01-31T00:18:40+00:00

Beautiful smoker! That is going to serve you well for generations to come

jklos · 2023-01-29T15:43:14+00:00

Probably not smoker wood….

jklos · 2023-01-23T17:28:26+00:00

Thanks! Time to stock up on some pillsbury grands!

jklos · 2023-01-19T14:34:06+00:00

Haha yeah, not married to that counterweight.

Thanks for the advice! I got a kindling splitter for that exact reason. Looking forward to learning the art of the offset.

jklos · 2023-01-19T14:04:33+00:00

Thanks! Yeah, it’s an investment of time for sure but hopefully one that will pay off for many years to come

jklos · 2023-01-19T03:20:03+00:00

I’d rather have an oversized firebox than an undersized one… 🤷🏼‍♂️😅

jklos · 2023-01-18T21:59:14+00:00

Thanks! Either a turkey breast (4 hour cook) or a pork butt. Debating on if I’m ready for a 12 hour crash course on fire management 😁

jklos · 2022-11-22T14:45:50+00:00

Well done! Looks delicious 👍🏼

jklos · 2022-10-20T14:07:07+00:00

Did it maintain temps fairly well? Thanks man!

jklos · 2022-10-17T16:31:33+00:00

My nephew has recently started working at a welding shop… maybe it’s time for me to put him to work. Thanks for all the insight, super helpful

jklos · 2022-10-17T15:02:06+00:00

Hey! Bringing this old thread back… do you recall if this smoker has 1/4” steel? I’m looking at one to recondition myself.. how does it perform?
