Well I worked my tail off on it this past weekend. I sandblasted the pig.. That paint was a pain in the rump to get off! i blasted the inside also. I got the sink and cutting board mocked up yesterday but forgot to get some pictures. I will take some tonight and post them tomorrow. I see the light at the end now It is starting to look like a real pit instead of a aircompressor sitting on a trailer with a big a## pipe coming off it! Im grtting stoked to finish it. There is a comp coming up in March i want to enter.
Wow! Bar stools. Your killin me. Makes me want to rethink my present build. And to think I was gonna put a pizza oven and an Argentine grill on mine. I like your idea better.
Well i got the cutting table and sink in.. I will do the plumbing when i get the deck down. Next step is to paint this pig I got some 2000degree paint that will go on the firebox, but my question is "will automotive paint work on the pit?" I have about 8gallons of glossy black automotive paint and i am going to use it on the trailer. What have yall used that will hold up in the long run?
I also plated the front of the trailer for dry storage and to add some weight to the tonge. It's 1/8" steel. I got to ruff it up before primer. Thanks GATEWOOD IRON I had the barstools laying around from a beerjoint we bought out towards the end of last year. I also got the beer cooler My shop was transformed into shop/bar! I have atleast 40 beer signs and posters, flags etc...
Thanks for the props . I picked up a pump yesterday from Harbor Freight. It will be used to pull the water from the coils that are going in front and under the fire box. If i calcuated it correctly there will be just under 30 gallons of water in a loop system. The water should get pretty hot?

Well i have been working alot! I haven't done much to the pit but i did get the legs boxed in the other night.. I am making a storage area under the tank to put wood or other things in there. I have to come up with a door? I used up my flap wheels so i still need to clean up the welds.

I got some surface rust the other day I pulled it out to clean up my shop and left it over night. Dam dew!! . It will come right off thou with some tolulene I have to work saturday but i am planning on getting it ready for paint on sunday before the big game.
Thanks AR_Senior . I made up a front door last night after work. It have to get a hasp on my way home from work today to keep it closed. Here is some shots. One of the shots came out blurry for some reason. . This is going to be for storage. It will lay all the way down to the deck. So what do yall think? I have decided to put on a canopy when i get the material gathered up. If i keep adding stuff i dont think it will pull out of my shop or down the road!!!
UPDATE!! I have been working my hind end off at work lately and finally can get back to my pit. I got informed that i was entered in a cook-off next month on the 21st . I am not going to rush to complete it because i have been working on it way too long to cut corners. I have the smaller2.0 that i built earlier to compete with if it come down to it. Enough of the b.s lets see some pictures!! Made a storage in the front to house the inverters and batteries. The door slides up and out. . Got the sink plumbed in.
. I am at the fire box now. I am making a heat exchanger out of 1/2 copper that will be up against the firebox and under the fire box.
I preped the firebox and back of the pit and stack and painted it with 2000* paint. . It will be finished painted this coming weekend . I'm getting so close i can smell the smoke So what do you men think?
