She gone!

That's what I'm hoping. Still has a lot of life to live and smoke to give

Older Rec Tec wood pellet grill. Working but could use a new coat of paint. Only a few hours on brand new auger motor. Rec Tec makes a heavy duty steel barrel that is worth restoring. Or just use it as is. I've cooked brisket and pork butts on this guy and they turned out great. Temp is a bit...
