Anyone use a Southern Style Custom Cookers

Postby super8mm » Mon Feb 09, 2009 7:12 pm

Does anyone use one of these?

My tax return was a bit short for the Klose pit I wanted so I am looking at this, a place here has had one on the floor for a year and price has come down some so I may try to get it down a bit more??? :?:

Yes, Mine is well built. The water pan wore out under heavy use and it finally rusted through. Other than that it is very sturdy.

Is the water pan a replaceable item?

I will have to rip a sheet of plywood to get it to where I need it in my back yard :lol:

Hmmmm I have not put the box on my trailer for my motorcycle, wonder if I can get this up on it and use my motorcycle to pull it into the back yard :shock:

Thanks James I will have to see if they still have it, I think it weighs about 600-700 lbs and it does have two wheels. When I was there several months ago I could pick up one end of it
