I had a short notice 'get your bit to work' which happened to be 1,200 miles from home and all I had time to do was weld the tubes and chimney in place and toss it all into the back of my truck.
After having it ride around in the back of my truck for a couple weeks and then a month or two sitting under a platform the parts trailer at work I finally put it together.
How's she cook?
I recommend setting the adjustable pinwheel damper to 30% open if ya want to cook around the 250-300 range
If anyone needs info on the parts mp4 got.... shoot me or TheCzar a message
I do have one nit to pick though.......why the hoodie and the beanie if your going to wear shorts? It's like starting a fire in the house and leaving the door open.
Definitely Rusty is getting around. I put mine on a wheeled dolly to avoid having to lift the thing up... especially if it is running
Learning generally boils down to "Repetition or the avoidance of pain", some people learn by doing, some by watching and some just have to pee on the electric fence.

I don't think I could get butts on the top rack where I have it placed now.
The adjustable plate reduces direct heat on whatever you're cooking and give something to re-flavor your meat when the drippings drop on it and cook off. There is a non adjustable version out there too.
Well...Rusty performed well but I did not. My ribs looked and tasted good but didn't pull cleanly from the bone. I should have left them wrapped a bit longer and ran a higher temp. Typically my ribs are over done...this time not so much. I have another cook next weekend so I'll give it another shot and see what happens.
