Initially I was going for the "no pics it never happened" theme... then found the link. And yes, what is it with the white dots?
End result is good though.

Update:
Just wanted to give an update on the machine. First off, I love it. It is incredible so far.
Here are some highlights:
1. Low maintenance. (Emptying the grease is the only thing I have to do every 6hours or so. I am just afraid of a grease fire it may just be me.)
2. Great fuel economy. (On my last 13hour smoke I would say I wasted a little bit more than half of the chute)
3. Stable temps. (That is with or without my BBQ Guru)
4. Smoke Ring (Every single time and I say every single time incredible smoke ring.)
Some things I learned:
1. It is a heavy machine. (If you have it in your backyard it is pretty easy to move around with the wheels I have but trying to load it on to your pickup is not doable without some heavy duty ATV Ramps.)
2. Temps vary from shelf to shelf but each shelf is consistent luckily. (I still need to do more testing on this but I always cook on the middle grate and havent fully loaded this bad boy to its full potential. I will report on future cooks.)
3. The working cutting board is very useful when I wrap or load it up. (See picture.)
4. My paint is eaten up by hot grease. (See picture. FYI the white flakes are from my Santa Maria cooking) Hopefully you guys can provide some tips. It holds up everywhere else but if I touch with grease anywhere it eats the paint.
5. Less chunks is better. I have been using just 3 chunks total from the begining to finish for my last cooks and it works great. What do you guys use?
6. Let the meat do its thing. Just set it and forget folks.

I got to see all the pics I think, a whole slew of them. Nice Q-view. Brisket looks good. I do like the shelf thing you have on it. Might have to nick that idea. Can't help with the paint and grease issue unfortunately.

I used Ultra High Heat Rust-Oleum paint. I thought you didn't need a primer for this paint. I used prep-sol and cleaned the metal really well before painting. The weird thing is that it is only when grease hits it. It just completely disintegrates it. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Rust-Oleum- ... /203161184
