New (to me) Pitts & Spitts

I've been looking for a good pit for a while now. Just checking the internet, not too serious. Happened upon a craigslist garage sale listing with a smoker included. Finally got by there after the actual sale was over, and was pleased to find this. Couldn't be happier, got exactly what I was looking for, and didn't have to save up for 2 years to make it happen.

Cooks pretty good too. Now the chef just needs a little more practice.

Heck of a deal congrats!

Thank you, DL. Glad I didn't have to break the bank. No pitting, etc. in excellent condition.

It's my baby now. The wife is thrilled.

Any and all advice is appreciated, while not a total greenhorn, I would consider myself a beginner who needs lots of practice on this type of pit.

Dude, that's the deal of the century. That pit is all you'll ever need.

Man I have always wanted one of those Pitts and Spitts rigs. You should have worn a ski mask when you picked that thing up for 500....I could only imagine retail is probably about 1500-2000.....sweet!!

Looks like it's the 18x30 - model U1830.

It is the perfect size for my little yard.

My dad has one that is very similar and I think paid a ton for it (from P&S). He's had it several months and absolutely loves it! For guidance, try www.texasbbqrub.com and no, I don't work there, I have just learned a ton from their forum! I am a female who was new to low, slow cooking and learned almost everything from that site! I get no complaints now!
