Newbee--- just received 008

Sooko, Welcome to the forum and conrgats on your purchase.

Don't mind the smoke coming from various places. Most of the leaks will eventually seal after a few smokes. Now the wobbley (sp) legs, I'll leave that up to someone else.

Be sure to read SmokinOkies 101s and Lessons for New Users.

Lots of great people here willing and able to assist you with your smoking needs.

Don't fret with your new toy! After your seasoning, Grab a fatty pork butt for your first smoke to set the seasoning in. The fun is just beginning!

Good luck!

Sooko,
Welcome to the forum. I'm sure the fun is just beginning for you with your new 008. What are you planning on smoking first?
If you are having a problem with the legs just call Cookshack and they will help you. The customer service is great.

The front peg legs screw in/out to adjust balance.

Thanks everyone-- I am trying to get the hang of the smoker--

Adjusting the legs did work--

Smoked some chicken wings - for an upcoming cookoff that I am in-- follow the initial intructions , please but took an extra 2 1/2 hrs from what the recipe book said--

Also got a pork but to see what would happen- have to say I am concerned about the unit-- followed instructions for a 5 lb butt. -- I started with a 4 1/2 lb --- was in this am at 500 am -- was excited to use it..

we are on hr -- 13 now and the internal temp is 142 degrees--

took it out to check the butt and was suprised that I could remove it with my bare hands -- infact had the unit set at 225
and could easily remove the grill with no fear of burns--

Any ideas out there-- possible defective unit????
