500 gallon reverse

Post by GoRilla » November 20th, 2017, 8:46 pm

Hey guys I've been lurking on here for awhile, and I really want to thank every single person on here for the shared knowledge. I've been smoking for awhile on FEC300 and an offset my dad built in 1969, but this is MY first build. My pit isn't completely finished, and it is far from perfect, but alot of learning has gone on. We lit it tonight and it held within 2 degrees on the door gauges. I haven't put the Maverick on yet, but so far so good. Thanks again. ImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImage

Looks amazing. Nice work. :beer:


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.

Whether you think that you can, or that you can't, you are usually right. Henry Ford

Butcher gave me a bunch of trimmings, so did some more testing tonight. Holds temp perfect. Opened each door for 30 seconds and in 2 minutes it recovered within 5 degrees. 3 minutes to full recovery. I'm in love!
