The six shelves are good to go. Stoppers and anti tip is all good now. I figure 24 butts or 36 slabs.

The shelves would be 4 inchs apart.

I wanted the extra realestate for ribs and then with one out it makes it nice for butts. Im thinking at least 24 butts per load.

And I just realized that I forgot to eat lunch today.

I'm still alive......

Looks like the office salery may be worth it after all.

Couple years pass and I pay my bills off then I can shop for a new truck.

Here is today's progress.

Does the whole 0 angle approach help with heat distribution? Must be an auger in there somewhere or else the fuel would just lay on top. I gotta say ... it's a miracle of modern physics ... :kewl: That there is why I'll never try to fabricate, I just don't have the imagination you guys do. Are your cooking grates textured to keep the slabs from sliding?

hehe all this grief from a guy who doesn't even own a grinder let alone a torch or welder :D

Lookin Good ST ... just the envy talking :kewl:


If it can't be smoked .... try frying it. It that don't work, it's probably best just left alone

ST you have GOT to be happy with that first burn with those numbers.
At this point the stoker is just going to allow you to sleep at comps ... :D :kewl:
Any chance you're bringing this to Smithville? :ympray:
