Heres another update on the cooker. Sayurday I worked on it all day. Got both hip roofs done, the door frame on the main chamber, and all joints are welded and started smoothing the welds. Ready to hang doors, install the exhaust stacks, and start building the meat racks.
Finally had time to work on the cooker some more. Got the doors built and latch systems put on the main chamber and vertical. All thats left is work on the firebox.
Learning generally boils down to "Repetition or the avoidance of pain", some people learn by doing, some by watching and some just have to pee on the electric fence.
