Picked up a new toy!

Surg yeah I was very surprised when I called and he still had it! I’m gonna call Smokin Tex on Monday and order new decals for it. I called them last year and talked to them about their smokers and the guy I was talking to said they don’t change their heating elements or thermostats so if I found an old one I would always be able to get parts! I will probably order a spare element and thermostat as spares too.

I was bored earlier today and was looking on a local marketplace site and saw an add for a smoker. It was a Lil Tex 1400 for $60. I opened the add and it said he’d take $50 for it. I couldn’t call him fast enough. They are selling new for over $600! I can’t afford a PK100 right now so I will make this work. I plugged in to check it out and I’m rolling smoke! Score!!!
ND Mike Man, that is a great find.

ND Mike Nice score, man! You done good. Can you post some pictures of the insides?

They look a lot like another nice smoker I have seen. I think maybe marketed under a different name, Cookshack maybe?

processhead yeah they are pretty similar. Another one that is close to it is Smoking-It brand. I can’t believe what these things cost! I still want to make a smoker out an old 1950s fridge that I can get.

I had a similar experience with a meat band saw. Since we’ll be butchering 4-5 hogs this fall I was shopping around and she asked what the meat saw would do for us. I showed her a video of one and 2 seconds in she exclaimed “We need that!”
Its so nice when they enable our obsessions.

ND Mike Much like my wife, she understands about these things now that she is more involved in home processing. She helps me make sausage and sauerkraut.
