Wanted to get some work done today, but only thing i've done is fire up the snowblower.

Made the frames for a couple of grill grates today and put on the chimney. I also put on the door gasket for the CC, welded the firebox and CC together. Only took one pic.

Ran out of C25 today, but I did get a charcoal basket made, finished a couple of grill grates too. Couple of pics.

are you going to put a shadow plate over your throat or leave it open ?

Gonna fire this thing up for a test run on Saturday, and work on finishing the rest of the grill grates.
Pics will follow of course.

That is some dang good looking work there….

Good luck on the test. We're testing Orvis on Saturday too - lots of angels getting wings this weekend….

Thanks Gizmo, same to you.

Gave her a two hour quick test drive today, heated up to 300º in 48 minutes. Brought the temp down to about 230-250, and held it there the rest of the time. Only snapped a quick pic of the smoke coming out, not sure if you can even see it though.

Waking up early tomorrow to throw a 6.5lb butt on.

The rest of my build is on hold for now. We've got the house on the market, and are looking for a new one. Be back soon.
