Where are the windows? We have 364 days here of sunshine a year.. This is a true fact along with the 3 days of winter and the rest is summer!! I didn’t want windows in the shop in order to cut down on access points of break ins, I don’t care to have anyone jump the fence and decide to go shopping i...

A dedicated work space, regardless of size, is priceless. Not having to clean up everything just to park the cars in the garage every night is like getting an extra hour of work time a day. Biggest congrats. And yes...it’s yours till the wife needs to store the Christmas decorations. And the kids b...

Ok gents, I know it’s been a little bit but I wanted to give you a status update on the cowboy cooker. I got it all painted and still need to season the disco https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180317/2cf10dcee200c24e5d17cd28d9076df1.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180317/d9dd29ac0c87323aa7e2...

Just wanted to check in and let you boys know I’m still here, just busy with work and doing a side job. The side job kinda is funding more of my supplies needed to work on these pits as well as paying for a decent plasma cutter. I definitely like new toys especially when I can use them doing what I ...

It a nice night here in the sticks for a burn https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180128/b6ef149bb07fa83d147150fa6c8e58f2.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180128/2f8dd02a377c4ec181338dd9184d6937.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180128/433e40d634bb2dcbb8f2d619ced42d2f.jpg https://uploads.t...

Tonight I decided to tip up the tank at an angle to make sure I got all of the tank soaking (3rd soaking). I threw a pound of tsp and an entire bottle of dawn in this thing as well https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180125/023deb6a46f39af464519bbf92228653.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2018012...

Ok boys, here’s what we got. I have an 80gallon propane tank that I plan to turn into a few cowboy cookers. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180124/315671a2f0461f2d54aa9598e7f5cd5a.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180124/7bc8bec64b0f77688850c293c308a262.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2...

Last burn before paint. I also want to burn off the grate of any oils or impurities. I plan to season the disco using the pit next weekend when I am smokin some ribs. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180122/873acef5a06b22ec1b69db7fbed322db.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180122/692e83469b3c...

Thanks Frank I will check them out for sure!!!!

Thanks a lot fellers. I sure do enjoy the support one get by being a part of the group. I have one more mod to add to this cooker. Because it’s so heavy, and going to be auctioned off, I am going to add a clean out slider door to the bottom to make cleaning the ashes out easier. I will post a pic wh...

Thanks brother, I went and purchased another propane tank today for the next build. I pick it up on Friday. I think I will build me another cowboy cooker similar to this one but a little larger. I am also looking to pick up a ring roller to make prettier rings. What can I say, I am addicted to smoke...

Alrighty gents This is what I came up with between Sunday and today https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180116/bf7713e8273e444e26867d8a43bb2f37.jpg I will admit I kinda cheated and used part of an engine stand. I modified an engine stand for my dad so he could attach a vw engine so he could rebuild i...

Thanks gents, I sure am grateful for all the advice. I am not giving up, but the cooking grate pivot is kicking my butt. I have made two different attempts at it but still failing in my attempts. The first attempt was placing the pivot off to the side away from the horse shoe. That was a bust becaus...
