Always a happy day! Throw some pictures up as you put it together! I'm sure I speak for others (and if not, just for me!) when I say, we'd love to see it!

Very Easy assembly. I got the jerky racks and a front wire shelf. Loaded everything in except the warming rack. I'll probably use one of the the jerky racks more as they are bigger.

First burn in engaged. Looks like I might need some of that sealer stuff for the door. What do y'all think? Should I do the burn in on high heat?

Did High about 475-500 for an hour and a half and then low smoke for an hour after that. This is going to be fun. :chef:

I used the gasket around the door of mine. Made a huge difference in air leakage. It really is a great cooker.
