Thanks guys, smoker cook's great, comes to temp alot quicker than I thought it would. It burns about half the wood I thought it would also. Temp wise once it is up to temp good and settles in ther is about a 10% difference in temo from one end to the other. Oh and sunday the weather cooled off and rained she still held temp with no problems.

I like that brother very very nice.. what kind of paint did you use??? Was it rattle can or did you spray it HVLP. I am still looking for that magic paint
WOW - VERY impressive! - it's looks twice the size of that Payless store in the pic - you're gonna be able to get a lot of love on those grates at the same time!

Well..... All I can say is... when I worked in the field I had way more time on my hands. Even when I was hitting 650 to 700 hours OT a year.
The stress level is much higher now days so by the time I get home I have half dead. Last week I was trying to post and fell straight asleep with the tablet in my lap.
Just like today, I have to run look at a job that bids monday, no time to look at it fri.
If I didnt really need the work I would just bid it from the desk and roll with it.
But since we had to lay off 9 guys fri night, we are really trying to crunch the numbers to get the guys back to work.
Only two of um were in my crews but it still made for a totally sucky day.
I am hoping to work on the rig just a little today when I get back, neighbors will appericate it. They hate it when I start grinding at 7 am on a sunday.
