Still waiting on warmer weather so I can paint.I did get time to test my temps and burn some pecan logs.it took about 40 mins to reach 250,but it stayed there for nearly 2 hrs with no problems.thats with outside temps of 30 degrees.
 
Looks like a fun build!   I know what you mean about weather affecting your build.   Just getting to my partners shop has been a pain.

Awesome build Bama. It looks like you had a little break in the weather. Progress on y trailer had been here and there, its coming along slow due to the weather as well.

S@M I sent you a pm.hopefully this weekend will be nice and I can smoke some ribs for my girls.gotta finish my female Shepard's house and then I have 4 nice drums to play with and have been gathering a few parts.
 
This may or may not be the newest link to the pit calc that I have, there was some rumor awhile back that the old one wasn't working.

Also, and I can't find it right now, but there is one that does not use exel.

Not tryin to hyjack the thread here, just thought I would throw it out there for anyone reading the build that may be looking for a working calc.

bamaboy-Nice build!! I've been following this build from the start and was waiting for the finish to comment. My son has a compresser tank that size-the compresser unit died and he was going to scrap out the tank. I showed him your post and I think I may have saved that tank from the scrap yard cuz he's been asking questions about the reverse flow and been taking long looks at my Lang.
