I know I know, a BBQ forum is no place for fancy French terms!
As I mentioned in another topic, I'm loving the new AQ but I'm struggling with the prep work before the cooking starts. Probably because I don't have a good work area. I read through many topics and got some great ideas. Tonight I picked up a decent size table that I can have near the smoker. I also picked up a plastic tub that I can use to put whatever meat I am rubbing in because whatever I lay down on the table sticks or moves or tears, creating waste and mess. For cleanup I found a mortar mix tub at Lowe's for $4 that's great to soak the racks in after use, and a $3 scraper. for whatever reason I'm getting leakage underneath my AQ, front under the door and back under the back edge, so I bought a clear plastic carpet runner/protector to put under the smoker, that's easy to hose off.
I think I've helped myself immensely. Any other tricks, tips, etc. would be helpful!
Oh, and do you think the leakage from under the AQ is normal?
