Just a heads up call GMG customer service and go ahead and get the measurement for the heat shield placement (its different for each model). It will save you a ton of headache and you won't ruin any food if you do this prior to cooking.

I set it up and did the initial burn last night. Gmg included a waterproof info sheet that tells you how to setup the heat shield. I just went and picked up 2 butts to smoke for a birthday party tomorrow. I usually rub the butts a couple days before a cook. But i recently got a good injector, so that'll expedite the seasoning.

I will say, the Jim Bowie is badass. I was surprised with how the fan turns on and off, and gives it short puffs of air. My Louisiana's fan was pretty much running nonstop. Without even cooking with it yet, and can tell how much better this is made.

I do wish you could just turn it off, and have the fan run until the temp is okay to shutdown. I wouldn't trust my neanderthal Uncle to use it, like the Louisiana. But i can tell I'm going to love this grill. I went ahead and order the pizza oven attachment last night, after the burn.
