I feel that I owe the chicken an apology. I may have judged it too harshly. I started the taste test with the deer before the chicken. The incredible outcome of the deer may have caused me to pick at ... |

It is misleading in the pics. It’s skinny so it looks taller than it is. It’s about 38" to the grate. Even had I used 55 gal drums it would have only been about 45" to the cook grates. T ... |
