Wasn’t sure what size hog would fit... so I checked with my house pig, Tommy. He’s 70lbs.

Hahaha, nice. You could term the pic "hot dog". Lovely pooch though.

Well the bbq isn’t complete yet. Still needs fenders and some other accessories. However it is ready to cook and I’ve met my deadline. This weekend I’ll be doing two 50lb hogs (dressed) and two briskets in two green eggs. I completed my ‘test run’ and was amazed at how well it ran. I used ash splits and ran for about 10 hours. Both vents at 50% with 3-4 fist size splits gives me a solid 250 with no effort. I threw on a few sausage just for fun. I decided not to paint and used avacado oil on the inside and fluid film on the outside and I’m happy with the seasoning. The bottom vent works well and never came close be becoming clogged with ash. All the math paid off, I’m thrilled with the way it chugs along. Burns very clean.
Smoke in the pictures was just from the start up...

Very nice. :kewl:
And although kind of skimpy, the snags will pass as q-view... but only until you show us pics of the hogs, uncooked, and cooked... oh yeah.

As promised here is a few pictures of the hog cook. We got a 60 and 70 lb pig. Turned out well. Didn’t put too much on them, bit of rub on the inside and a simple injection. Also did two briskets.

Just an update from the build. Added a shelf on the back and some other finishing touches. New fenders and a custom axle with custom hubs so we can run some
Chevy wheels! Haha thanks all. Runs great! Now

That's a nice rig! :beer:

How much space between grills? I only ask because I was putting in grill racks today.
