New Cooking Geer

Well since my recent post about Pit Envy a couple of weeks ago I have been on a mission to get a new pit. As I mentioned, as much as I love the Backwoods Smokers, the idea of getting back to cooking with logs on an offset style cooker was very appealing to me.

So a few things fell into place... One was we won the New Paltz contest and took in a bit of prize money. I also was able to sell my two Backwoods Fatboys and my CargoPro 5x8 trailer in short order. My teammates were completely behind the idea, especially after my barage of 'pit porn' pictures I have been sending them on a daily basis.

So, I put a call into Jamie Geer at Jambo Pits and put a down-payment on a trailer pit. Jamie has been great to work with so far. It looks like he will finish my new pit in December so I'm starting to plan a road trip to TX. Haven't finalized colors or options but its going to be similar to this cooker.

Congrats! I can't wait to see the new pit. Will you be able to post any pictures of the pit building in progress?

Robert, I hope so. I'll ask Jamie if he can take some pics of the process.

She's a beauty, it must be exciting. Is there a part of you that's a little sad that you gave up the Backwoods Fat Boys? With so much success and so many memories, I think I would be.
