Yes, now those letters pop out. The whole unit looks good. Nice

Forgive me if this has been mentioned as I could have missed it but what did you decide on for paint? I see you sprayed it and assume you used a hvlp gun? What did you use for a primer?
Thanks guys! No problem DT. I actually went over budget on paint and primer. On the black parts, For Primer I used PPG 1027 high heat and top coated with PPG 500 v.
On the red parts I used rustoleum high heat primer and high heat topcoat.
The blue part is duplicolor caliper paint.
I sprayed the PPG with a speedway siphon feed sprayer 2.0 nozzle. It can be purchased through home depot and is the best cheap gun I've ever used.
Thanks for the info....having trouble deciding on paint. So many options and many of the high heat coatings want a heat cure at 400 degrees.
I’ve got a really nice hvlp rig that I picked up a number of years ago. I’ve only used it a few times as most of my projects are either too small to mess with the gun (so I rattle can it) or I’ve gone with powder coat finishes. However, it’s time to break it out again and see what damage I can do on my smoker.
Thanks RC, put a pork shoulder on this morning. She's running like a champ. The stack opposite the fb is wide open in this pic, but you can barely see the smoke.
definitely needs a few companions to share the journey.

Oops. Not yet, how should I? A generous helping of cooking oil slathered over the chamber? She's still running at this minute, so it would not be a problem.
Sorry I didn't see this earlier but you can do it your next cook. I like to spray everything a light coat of cooking oil and heat it up for a little bit and then back it down to cooking range and throw something greasy on there. Don't coat it too thick with cooking oil or it just gets messy.
Ditto that....THIN spray of PAM and I like to wipe/smooth it out with a sprayed paper towel. Just keeps the puddles from getting messy. When you heat it up, probably gonna drip a bit so do next cook in the grass. Hit your racks and everything on the inside.
And if you draw a smiley face in the oil, then season... you'll have a smiley face to greet you next time you cook...

*Sunday cook* been experimenting with this rig since I completed it. I can run it traditional offset with even temps across all 3 chambers, or reverse flow with only the middle chamber, or reverse flow with the middle chamber and left vertical. I also cut a port on top of the firebox in case I want to run the left vertical solo.
Today I cooked whole chickens spatchcocked using the reverse flow middle chamber, and cooked a roast in the left vertical. I heated the vertical with the port from the cook chamber, which works better than the port on top of the firebox. So unless I am cooking in the left vertical exclusively, I will probably use the cook chamber port to heat the left vertical.
I included the thermometer pics for info on which chambers I am using and those I am not. The left vertical is about 30 degrees cooler than the middle chamber. Which is perfect for chicken and roast.
This thing cooks like a charm!! Enjoy the pics. Will update with Q view once complete.
