It has arrived...

I am now the proud owner of a 14" WSM.
And now it is raining like crazy

It was a bit of a story to get it here:
I ordered, then a friend said it could go on his truck coming in from South Africa.
Then the truck got turned around at the Zimbabwe border and it went via Botswana.
Lots of delays and finally it got there.
But they had forgotten to load the WSM....

Then been trying to find another way to get it here and eventually I gave up and ordered via a transport company
And now I got it :)

And no, no specials here, so I paid the full price plus transport, so she better perfoms well.....
And the rain needs to stop!
 
Congrats Anne! Looking forward to seeing some cooks on your WSM and some photos of your part of the world
 
Congrats on that WSM and for you determination and efforts to get it. That is quite a story. You will love that cooker.
 
Persistence paid off. You are going to love that little smoker. When the rain stops throw something on it and takes some pictures.
 
Oh gosh, that is quite an adventure. I have an 18" WSM, but I'm betting that 14 is going to cook just as good. Wondering what sort of smoke wood and charcoal you have available in Zambia?

Did you have to buy two WSMs then?
 
Thanks for the nice responses!
Much appreciated.

So far, I only paid for one as the first one wasn't paid for yet. If it does arrive here at one point in time, I should be able to easily sell it.....

We got lump charcoal here (without any form of additives). We buy it on the side of the road as a large part of the population cooks on charcoal.
Wood is going to be a bit of finding out what works best.
We got fruit trees (mango, lemon, lime, marula, lychee, fig) and then acacia, mahogany, mukwa, mopani and quite some others.
I will probably start with marula and acacia, as I have some, that I dried a while ago.
I got mango as well and I found one publication saying not to use it, that seems to be repeated by everyone, but I can't find anyone who actually used it....

My first cook will take place soon and I will try to remember to post pictures
