As far as I know that comp is still going but our team hasn't decided on specific comps past May yet.
Maybe we can meet up at the new HQ.
Keep in touch! :D

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

Got a chance to do a little more today. Cut out the steel for the firebox and welded them together. Next task will be mounting the door and dampers.

Looks good, did you cut those with a grinder? I had to cut a door in my 5mm thick steel firebox today and I just couldn't face the noise and the sparks for half an hour so I chickened out and took it to a metal fabrications shop and they are cutting it for me with a plasma torch haha.
