You get to season the drum, practice controlling temperatures and can test the vertical air intake design at the same time - and if it won't keep temp, you won't ruin any food.

awesome idea of "practicing". thanks.

and yes, my garage is carpeted! have to have comfort under the feet when i shoot pool or darts, and relax in the lazyboy watching tv smokin cigars.
