Got sick of waiting on UPS. Rigged the lift back together and it's working better than ever. So mounted it and was concerned with it being too heavy to the driver side, and the firebox is gonna look weird. After a quick conversation with my Dad we both agreed that it would be better to move it over ...

Looks great! What time is dinner? Hopefully in a couple weeks. Been off all week and got some prep work done on the trailer but I'm at a standstill until the lift parts come in. Hopefully when we get home from church theres a package from brown santa waiting. Not much of a picture but all I have to...

Couldn't stand being so close and not finishing up. Went back out after church and worked til almost midnight. There's still a few small loose ends to tie up but other than the trailer this thing is 99% complete. And as expected, pics. Well just 1 tonight. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190214/5...

I hate building racks....so repetitive! Ran out of time and welding wire so this is all the further I got today. May try to sneak out this evening when everyone goes to bed. Gonna go put up a wheelchair ramp for our men's ministry tommorow and my wife has a mile long list of stuff I've been neglecti...

Well sir, if it can be put on wrong we have done it. Try thinking about a rig with doors on both sides of the cook chamber, that was a whopper of a deal. Wow I bet!! What kills me is I was being so careful to make sure it was all lined up right and level, not sure how it moved lol! Oh well, can't t...

Looking pretty darn spiffy man. How about that latch . lol . cause a man to start drinking if he's not careful Thank you! I love these latches! So cool when you get them figured out! Against the instructions I didn't have the required 3 beers first, actually only had half a cup of coffee lol! Only ...

Great progress...starting to see the light at the end at this point.... Thank you! It's finally starting to look like something lol! Honestly though, this smoker goes together so fast it hardly ever doesn't look like something lol! So today's progress. Got the door latches all done. Finished up som...

Ok now that that's off out of the way. On to today's progress. Got the CC doors built and hung. Finished up the WC door and after a quick call to Frank got the latch installed and working good. Gauge in just for fun. Plan this week was to mount it on the trailer tommorow but my lift decided to crap ...

I feel you pain but nobody wants a power plant in their backyard, a freeway close by or a dam flooding their land. Those same people want to use electricity, have a short commute to work and have running water in their faucets. Sad truth is infrastructure has to go somewhere. Sorry you got the shor...

Not much progress today. Been stressing out about the land thing and spending all my time focusing on it. That's changing next week. 4 days of dedicated smoker time! Anyway. Got the stack dampers welded on and got the CC framed in. Only got a pic of the dampers though. Side note. Just realized the W...

I'm in joplin/neosho area, definitely game if it happens down this way. Need to check my schedule on dates, not sure which ones I gotta work yet.

Would be nice to have the outside ones pretty at least lol!

Also. Disregard the crappy welds. I call them farmer welds. Ugly but effective.

Well today's my day off but didn't get much done again. For one the kids get out of school at noon so gotta pack it up early. For two we found out this morning that the water company is going to take our land to build a don't reservoir, so my head wasn't focused on building the smoker unfortunately....

Just gonna be towing with a half ton pickup. I may hook it on during the balancing act and see how it squats with the smoker in different places. 2-300 pounds I could use the bathroom scale to measure...shh don't tell the wife! Lol!

Wish I had a way to weight everything and get it just right. Will probably end up putting it where firebox is about even with tire like Frank's. Won't be much weight up front. Just a toolbox for charcoal and tools, etc...

Well spent the better part of the day going to pickup a trailer. Pulled the gate and sides off and set the smoker on just for fun. Crappy wood deck is going away obviously and need to move it over to the driver side and back some still too. Quick question. How far back is just right? Plan on a wood ...

I'm gonna try to go look at it. Hard to see it zooming in but looks a little rough. I'm gonna have everything sandblasted before paint anyway so as long as it's solid it might be an option. At work again tonight and not finding any deals yet on Facebook or Craigslist really... Sent from my SM-N950U ...

Actually this might work pretty good too. Waiting to see what axle it's got.

I've been looking locally and I'm gonna be in it for the same money without wheels and tires. I've been looking at used trailers but I'm not sure of that's the way I wanna go, who knows what problems I'm gonna inherit. I was thinking of using the 2x3 tubing like I've seen several guys doing. Not sur...

Ok need some opinions. Think I'm gonna order this for the trailer. https://www.utilitytrailerkit.com/shoppingcart.aspx $520 bucks and has literally everything but the metal. Having trouble finding anything local at a comparable price. Is this too good to be true? Thanks y'all! Sent from my SM-N950U ...
