That in an Ole Hickory CTO. Can be used as a wood smoker, oven or

Top dial is temperature, next down is the oven temp control and the
bottom is a timer control.

Right.

Price - about $4000.00 in that condition...

Oh it will do 36 whole chickens, or 16 small turkeys, or 12 brisket at a
time....

(Local place uses one and I've tended it a few times)


OK, I never smoke that much, something like 20 lbs at once (then I
freeze it). Would that be a problem?

Not a problem to run a small batch. Just that they are a large unit.
Did you get the wood basket for the firebox? If not they are not hard to
make or buy a replacement.
Wood wise 4-5 pounds of DRY seasoned wood will run 7-8 hours.


Great. I have a wood basket, yes. I find that 5-6 hours of smoke is
all that is needed, with the total hours of heat working great at 12
hours, for brisket.
