Post by Sfwchef » July 10th, 2017, 6:21 pm

Just want to say hello and happy to be here from south west Florida area. Been lurking and reading and working on my first offset build. Very knowledgeable folks here and a lot of talent as well. When I get mine finished I'll do a follow up.

Thanks all for the welcome. I'm actually down around the Naples area Rodcrafter! I will definitely post some pics as things progress. This is my first build so I'm taking it slow and work gets in my way... lol but things are progressively getting accomplished.

Well I finished up my first ever build. Taught myself how to use a plasma cutter and to weld. I've always been one to never give up! Lol
I named it frank-n-tank since it's a little narly.

Thank you to this site since I used a lot of the knowledge here to build it. Lotta reading and research from the people here so I owe you all a lotta thanks and gratitude!

Food always seems to taste better when it's cooked in your own build

If your neighbors weren't very friendly before, they will be now! Nothing like the smell of a smoker to lure them in. Look delicious!

lol it's funny you say that because the neighbors have become Weldum cause in the time I've built it to firing it up we've gotten to know them a lot better. Haha
