Ya know they get used more than you would think..If you use it enuf to justify making it., then i would say go for it. If you do it right you could hang sausages, etc, etc. up and smoke em in there. Plus make as many removable shelves as u wish.

Thanks Frank! Means a lot coming from you!
FYI If you use 3/8 spacing with the 3/8 roundstock, it works out perfect across the grilltop with 8" in pipe.

Hey guys, I wanted to wait till after the weekends festival to let you know how things went with the shmoker. I wasn't the one running it, our food concession mgr did.He did a fine job and did his homework. If the deep line of people ordering up any of the multiple things he had coming from it, was ...

So today we officially broke her cherry. Got her up to temp and to be on the safe side, threw a couple chicken halves on w Cajun rub. Not gonna lie. They were the most juicy delicious bites of poultry that ever went down this gullet. Sorry mom. What a relief it is to know how easy it is to run this ...
