Re: My RF build
Well we haven't set the date yet but I figure in a couple of years. Maybe we should send the hog coffin a month in advanced.Iceman wrote:So when are we all going to Australia for a gathering?

Re: My RF build
Thanks guys, I'm guessing about two more full days in the shed & it will be seasoning time, then comes the Q-view. 
Now I just have to get the spare time to spend in the shed.

Re: My RF build
Got a bit more done yesterday, put the wheels & bottom shelf on, then made the frames for the doors. Not long now, I can almost smell it.
Starting to look like a proper smoker now, although I think I need to try & straighten up the stack a bit, it was straight before I put the wheels on.

Re: My RF build
I agree with you Squiggle, that stack looks like it's about to lay down on you.

Good job buddy!
I agree fix the stack or spend years explaining your mistake.

Re: My RF build
Alternatiely smaller front wheels, or larger back wheels will give you the illusion of stack straightness...
You have checked the tank is at a right angle to the stack? Just in case the above is actually true.

Re: My RF build
Hahaha, yeah the stack isn't straight cause I forgot about the axle mount when it didn't have wheels, doh!
Got the doors & the damper done today, just need to put in the thermos, the door latch & a shelf for the charcoal chimney.
