Planning ahead/ 2014 is coming

Post by Nagaburns » September 2nd, 2013, 5:10 pm

I don't know how far you guys like to plan ahead but I'm already thinking about 2014 and what I'm going to do.
I'm currently thinking I want to build at least three smokers.
I'm going to do an offset that has an insulated cook chamber and firebox. I know a man that can roll the steel for me so I just need to decide if it's going to be a beast on a trailer or a tiddler for my back garden.
I'm going to get all experimental on the gravity feeds, I've got some ideas on reducing the weight and access to a new fangled machine for bending the steel. Well, I won't be bending personally but the guys in the shop will be professional benders by the time I'm in need of steel :D
I also want to do a pimped out UDS. Not sure if I'm going to make my own drum yet, even though that kind of defeats the object of it being a UDS #-o

So, have you got any plans for next year?

Besides - if you don't plan ahead you have no idea how far behind you are…. :D

My plans for 2014 are getting all the 2013 projects finished!


If it's tourist season, how come I can't shoot 'em?

BBQ is just smoke and beers!
Usually more beers than smoke.
