BBQ is just smoke and beers!

Love the look of the stack mount. Just think it compliments the look of things.

I like that style of stack too you will never have to be concerned about something dripping on your food from the buildup in your stack.

NICE!

Well Saturday was the day that I was to be able to put a full day of work in on my build... I feel like I got allot done but still not as much as I would have liked... being my first build I'm finding trial and error is just part of it... In the first panoramic pic check out my setup.. Had the guys comin over to watch the fight that night so I wanted to smoke some meat... I figured I put the old (Char Griller) offset smoker outside the shop so I could babysit it while working on my new build, well the north wind was not my friend that day so I move the the truck and trailer across the drive way for a wind break!!! Gonna be asking for suggestions on my little cart.. I'm afraid this thing is getting too heavy for my cart setup..

:LG: I like the handle. You should have the pretty welds mastered right about the time you finish up. That just means you build another, and keep the best looking one. :beer:
