Roll on Saturday

Hello everybody, I am very excited.
Should have recieved my first excel yesterday but I am currently working nights and missed the delivery man as I was asleep!!! Saturday morning is new eta, so lots of prepairing today as I have the next three days off to have some fun and make loads of mistakes. I am sure I'll be asking very many questions over the next few months and look forward to learning lots of tips and tricks as I have never attempted to bbq/smoke before.
So to start with. Is it ok to cook straight out of the box?

Welcome Johnnynix ... you'll find the people here very helpful.
What are you planning to cook this weekend? ... don't forget to post pictures!!!

You will love your Excel 20. Fire her up with maybe 1/2 basket of charcoal, no water in the pan, and all vents open. That should be a good break-in.

Absolutely post picture of your smokes and definitely feel free to ask questions.
