Pre seasoned amerique

Jbs- What part of the country do you live, I've got a buddy that has an Amerique that he's wanting to sell?

Yeah, when I was 1st looking at buying a used CS, I quickly found out that "if you snooze,you loose".

I too had to bite the bullet, best purchase I ever made,IMHO.

I'm confused?

What's the poll question? Buy a new or used? Buy new, you get full CS support. A used will work but you don't know how the owner has been working it. Saw a recent problem with a used FE that was difficult to figure out.

Oh, just a Moderator reminder. But buying/selling used CS is against CS forum policy. You're competing directly with CS sales.

What's your problem about seasoning?? It is an easy step... just a matter of doing a normal 4 hr smoke without meat (or even with meat if it is something like a pork butt but it will take longer to cook the butt to completion). It's not a big deal at all.

Good.

I'm with Smokin', I don't get the poll. Pre-Seasoned = Used. And most people that buy a used one usually end up asking what they can use to clean it up with before THEY season it themselves. If you can find a good deal on a used one, you might be ahead of the game price wise. On the other hand, seasoning a new one is a no brainer. Fire it up with some wood and let er go. What you're doing is making sure everything works without risking ruining potentially expensive meat if something doesn't work quite right out of the box.

Are you asking if it's BETTER to buy a new or used one because of the seasoning?

Pre-seasoned won't make it better. Buy new, better warranty, and you can season it yourself. Won't take long.

thanks to everyone who has replied. I appreciate the advice and the direction.
