I’m writing from Canada. It’s a typical cold winter this year.
I have a question regarding maintenance and operation of my model 60.
I’ve read the Blog and Tips sections of your website and found some very useful information. Have you ever heard of someone operating their cooker at outside temperatures near the freezing point of water? Would it have an adverse effect on the cooker?
Fire brick in the bottom of the firebox under the grate. fire brick also on top of the firebox on those rough days. Use the half as thick (they are thinner) firebrick, not the full size. Some folks use a heat resistant type blanket on the cooker.. most don’t.
Hope this helps Also when you can, turn the cooker with the wind so that t…he wind hits the firebox door.
If he paid any duties he got ripped off by Customs Canada…Under NAFTA there is no duty on items built in the USA
Bought it from a fellow here in Ottawa. He had to pay duties and tax when he trucked it all the way back to Canada.
And yes, we did bbq for Superbowl, at -10 celcius and enjoyed some of the best ribs on the planet.
There a re two ways:
1- Check http://www.myfreight.com/
2- Post it on this blog and Facebook to see if anyone is having one shipped close to you. Piggy back it to reduce the cost.
Hi,
