Mighty fine lookin grub! How did the smoker do?

RDRASH · Post by **RDRASH** » May 3rd, 2012, 7:31 pm

Thanks guys, smoker cook's great, comes to temp alot quicker than I thought it would. It burns about half the wood I thought it would also. Temp wise once it is up to temp good and settles in ther is about a 10% difference in temo from one end to the other. Oh and sunday the weather cooled off and rained she still held temp with no problems.

Well it's finally finished, fresh coat of paint, little wood work, and a new set of shoes.

Pics don't really do it justice the green paint is a candy green metal flake.

Really looks nice, congratulations on getting her done

Post by **Tom_Heath** » May 19th, 2012, 7:11 am

Very nice work. The paint is awesome, I love it.

Now all it needs is the pig snout and eye balls on the front end, LOL

RDRASH · Post by **RDRASH** » May 19th, 2012, 10:08 pm

Before it was painted we drew a pig snout and eyes with soap stone on the tank. Where the heck have you been haven't seen many posts lately from ya.

Post by **Tom_Heath** » May 20th, 2012, 7:55 am

Well..... All I can say is... when I worked in the field I had way more time on my hands. Even when I was hitting 650 to 700 hours OT a year.

The stress level is much higher now days so by the time I get home I have half dead. Last week I was trying to post and fell straight asleep with the tablet in my lap.

Just like today, I have to run look at a job that bids monday, no time to look at it fri.
If I didnt really need the work I would just bid it from the desk and roll with it.
But since we had to lay off 9 guys fri night, we are really trying to crunch the numbers to get the guys back to work.
Only two of um were in my crews but it still made for a totally sucky day.

I am hoping to work on the rig just a little today when I get back, neighbors will appericate it. They hate it when I start grinding at 7 am on a sunday.

Well took some more pics today and added an adult beverage opener.
