Hello my name is Fred and I am an addict.

Post by Mettle » November 25th, 2012, 1:10 pm

Yeah, I got the sickness. Vertical offsets, UDS, offsets, you name it and I need, er want to build one and master it.

Current project is a 30 x 48 tank. 24 x 20 x 20 insulated firebox. 5 inch chimney. Single door. Trailer with roof.

My next project must be a GF "clone" smoker.

4 KCBS contests under my belt and I have walked in every category at least one, took two people's choice. That's me.

Welcome Fred!
Glad you can admit the addiction, thats the hard part. (OK selling the better half maybe the hard part)
Congrats on the walks! Now lets see some pics of the builds and the grub! :beer:


BBQ is just smoke and beers!
Usually more beers than smoke.

Welcome Fred! FINALLY!

If you're that far into it you may be in the advanced stages of addiction ... if we only could have caught it sooner! ...

as they said - the best path to recovery is posting a lot of pics here ... :D


And on the eighth day God created barbecue …. because he DOES love us and he wants us to be happy. :D
