All that’s left is sanding and paint.

I'm sure he was proud to receive both from you, Thanks for serving! It looks like some good grub when you finish cooking.

Man another awesome build and given away as a gift! I need better friends I guess. Just kidding. What an awesome build! Very clean look. It appears you have built or at least used both standard and reverse flow designs. I am asking for as much feedback as I can get on which is best. Anyone and everyone please chime in. Not afraid to fiddle but can definitely appreciate simple/fool proof. I like a heavy smoke flavor at times so I would like to build whatever offset imparts the best flavor without drying the sh_t out of the meat and with the most consistent and easily repeatable results. Hate when you accidentally do it really right once and then can never repeat it. Had been leaning toward standard flow but now considering reverse flow. Let me hear your thoughts guys.
