TQ's trailer build

[TuscaloosaQ]

Tyler at it again





The final touch. He needs to leave those stinking trucks alone!!!!!! And help Dad with his cooker

[Frank_Cox]

Looks great!

[Gizmo]

Nice work that is ...

You need to come up with a distraction to get Tyler back on your "A" team doing smokers....

[TuscaloosaQ]

Money is a motivator Rick, the only problem is Tyler has all the money!! LOL

[TuscaloosaQ]

finally starting to close in on this build



TQ cutting doors. I use to cut them with a metabo, I have found it made no difference so from now on plasma here I come much much faster!!!!!!





baffle plate fitted on shop table the shims or 1/2 inch to give it a little slope. Is is neccessary???? It is what I do, if it is not let me know i am not locked into anything. The angle is 3" used it because i have a buch of it. Me and Tyler had a debate about it I thought it was too big he drew it out on the table and said Dad the effects would be "miniscule" he won that day



next time I will weld the angle all the way out before installing



We tacked the doors back in with small tacks that do not penetrate, then cut the tacks as neede and fit flat bar it seems to work for us








plan coming together



Tyler checking his door handles, cut template out of cardboard







so far it all works, from now on we will be talking to Frank about dimensions,baffle placement,stack size ect. basically we just fit it together like we want, and we have been lucky I guess!!!!!!!!!



while me were working, Sharon Ann was hitting it too!!!!



And no she is not for loan,sale,or lease she is the hardest worker I have ever seen. And the best thing is she never moans, groans, or complains



That dewalt is a Baaaad Boy!!!!!!





Tyler has given me one draw labeled "Dads Crap

[Gizmo]

[TuscaloosaQ]

[The Czar]

Alright TQ.....those cuts even look straight...... ....you'll be Fed-Exing me samples in no time........

[Smokeone]

Nice work there TQ, them are some dandy cuts!

Whats the trick to get the wife on the mower? Mine cant even start the mower.

[DUAYNE B]

heck mine are crooked with a straight edge, and i see you make laser cuts free hand, excellent work TQ, i think you got tyler to do it lol

[TuscaloosaQ]

Thanks's DC smokeone and Duayne B Tyler is to strungout to make any cuts right now. I must say he did double up with me the other day and we cut doors installed and put in grates in 4.5 hrs. Smokeone she loves cutting grass we usuallu double up I will weed eat and she will cut. She was helping big daddy out that day though!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She is a

[Smokeone]

She must be an , there "Bigdaddy". Rick must be right!

[Frank_Cox]

smoker is coming along nicely! The trough is not a bad idea at all. I dont use them because it is easier to clean the plate.

[TuscaloosaQ]

makes sense to me Frank do you keep it flat or have any tilt in either direction?????? It would defiently save build time to not have it

[Frank_Cox]

I tilt it away from the firebox, but only slightly.

[TuscaloosaQ]

laid out and ready to cut



TQ fire off on the cut, free handing Is there any other way??????



hoop there it is, hopefully it will be painted this week. I am back on nights at the refinery, will sleep 4hrs and get up and hit it in the morning. Fella called today and said he had 10 tanks ready for me to pick up. Done hit a honey hole. He likes me for some reason. Rick it must be my GOOD LOOKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL




I have been known to cook too. cook a few slabs this week end carried some to a co-worker who went out with knee replacement

[The Czar]

[Gizmo]

[The Czar]

Right.....he's not special....but could be SPECIAL.....but that is a different subject all together....

[Gizmo]

That's okay DC - I'll save you a seat on the short bus ...

[TuscaloosaQ]

Man, Rick and DC yall are digging deep now I do not know whether to "wipe my head" or "scratch my tail". but I am going to pull out mister webster and take a peep

[Gizmo]

All in fun

[Smokeone]

TQ you definetly got a steady hand! That is a great cut.
Probably dreaming about them delicious looking ribs, makes cutting smoother.

[TuscaloosaQ]

cooker is on the trailer. I still lack a lot of detail work,drain ,floor paint, stack but I will hopefully finish by the weekend.
I have never used counter weights but I think I would like to. Someone give me some input, location in relationship to door. The void on the side wiil be cased in, of course.

[TuscaloosaQ]

well there's special and then there's SPECIAL .... just sayin' ...

Rick my wife says I am S P E C I A L!!!!! not sure what that means. I think there is a conspiracy to have me committed!!!!!!!
I love this place!!!
