re: First smoke on the pit barrel

That thing looks badass. I'd love to own one but with three pits already, I honestly don't need another.

One of my "pits" is the Orion Cooker, which uses this same kind of convection cooking. The only…and I mean ONLY…drawback to it is that the cooking chamber is so moist that it's hard to get a really good bark on shoulders.

Congrats on the new toy!
