It darkend back up. It sprayed on black then went grey then went back to a light black.

Its just rustoleam from Lowes flat black I think. As long as its protected from rust I'm good.

http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/11/10/gava3uby.jpg Fresh coat of high temp paint. I have smoked about 8 times. Been very happy with it. Over rubbed some ribs once, rushed a butt another time, and did a brisket hunk that wasn't a good quality piece of meat. Every time I followed the "rules" the food wa...

Little hunk of brisket flat. Man the stall is no joke. Ramped to 150, and thought my timing was gonna be way off. 150 to 203 is a long haul. No worried timing will be off the other way.

I did 1 rack 321. More like 2.5 2 and .5. The other just let em sit. We liked the let em sit much more. Pretty happy with the smoker. I had a good feel pretty quick on how to manage temps. A chimney of charcoal will run it up to 300 quick. Thanks for everyone's input. Hopefully I can help the next g...

Ribs are on and CC holding at 224 pretty steady for around 1/2 hr.

Finally seasoning grill. I put a chimney of charcoal and 2 splits in. Added 2 more and temp probe reads 327 in about 30 min on the top rack. I thought it would take at least an hour. So is this ok? I hope I can choke it down and get back to 225ish by the time I try and cook. Sent from my iPhone usin...

Salem OR. The car isn't mine, but its a 32 Ford coupe. My baby is a 73 Ford Bronco. http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/09/03/enepyhuq.jpg It's a little farther along then that pic. Needless to say between the Bronco and smoker my wallet has been taking a beating. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now F...

I do custom audio video for a living if that's what you mean. Hmmm where did you come across that?

We got it. Tacked the frame around it, tacked it to the CC, cut the tacks and it sprung again.

Hit a roadblock on the door. Can't seem to get it to stay unsprung. It's also warped now. Think we might just get a new piece rolled.

2 probes on 3 foot wire with a 3.5mm headphone type jack on the end.

The wire has a stainless braided shield.

How do you guys run your temp probes? I was thinking about making some kind of port. Maybe on the stack. The FB might melt my iGrill though. I could do something on the CC, but that would need to be a tighter connection I would think. Or am I over thinking it and just run em through the door? Sent f...

Now we are getting somewhere.

Paint should come right off.

Burn time. Neighbor kid wants to know what the stink bomb is.

The baffle plate seems like it will be fun to do. I hope it will fit through the door.

Do you guys weld standoffs in the CC to hold up the BP while you weld it in?

Got hung up on the handles last night. Ended up ordering a door latch from kck for the fb door. I'm guessing the vinyl red handle won't last long though.
