Cutting out the CC door. Got some Harbor Freight Tools to help. #34214 dial gauge angle finder $4.99 and #63688 12" combination Square $7.99. If you use this, watch the magnet on the dial gauge angle finder. It likes to slide. Frank has a video on finding top dead center. I went 2" past center. Don't want rain running in the CC.

I hear you on the HF. You get what you pay for. A day full of welding. Added a meat catcher just in case. Now it's time for my other Hobby.

Installed the shelves in the CC. Only went with 2. I like having the height.

Shelving height

Dirtytires · Post by **Dirtytires** » July 12th, 2019, 10:28 pm

Agree with 2. Tho 3 would have fit, I believe you would have found the top one just mostly in the way. I only have 2 and find myself, on smaller family cooks, removing the top rack and putting it aside. I would rather reach into the smoker to adjust the meat ( if needed) rather than pull the shelf and all the drippings out.

Nice work.

Tacked on the door seals and hinges for the CC.

Pretty cool hinges....I like them.

Lost some time with the weather. 16 tornadoes went through Wisconsin last Friday and Saturday. I lost power for 4 days. Had a black cherry tree split in half in the backyard. I've been helping others that were less fortunate. Working on the counterweight today.

That is looking good. Cant wait to see some smoke rolling in it!

I'm glad to hear that you made it through safe. The pit is coming together nicely!

You are keeping the cherry wood, right?

My mom used to say if you got lemons, make lemon aid.

Wicky · Post by **Wicky** » July 28th, 2019, 7:29 pm

Oh yeah, I've been getting quite an assortment of wood. Cherry, apple, mulberry, hard maple, hickory and white oak. When it comes to Lemonade, I'm not making a glass I'm making gallons. Will be cutting a long time with all the trees down around here.

Bummer on the damage....hope things get back to normal soon.

Turn the fallen trees into charcoal, then build a gravity feed smoker. Problem solved...

Looking great.

Are you in West Wisconsin?

Wicky · Post by **Wicky** » August 8th, 2019, 6:29 pm

New London is about 40 miles west of Green Bay. Got the counter wieght welded up. Little slow on the build, still cutting wood.
