I found a combo cooker at a carport sale for $10. Comes with a gas burner frame, alum. fry pot 7" high, charcoal pan, 2 water pans, 3 racks, electric element and a half bottle of gas. Bigger and thicker metal than most dome style smokers, porcilene finish. I've smoked with it some 12 times and still looks new. Not like the cheaper smokers that turn to rust after 2 or 3 smokings.
What is the purpose in storing the oil in the fridge? I have heard of it but makes no sense?!?!?
