Love the pic. of your Lab licking his chops laying by the future smoker grill. I guess he plans on enjoying the fruits of your labor from it too!

Well, it works...and works well..I am very happy with how this turned out. I can't believe the difference in this compared to my cheap Char Griller.. the best news is........today i received an order to  build one like it :)    we had to do a couple tweaks but over all it was good to go out of the gate..

I thought about that actually...but i have never used a RF and just want to stick with what i know for now...but i do have a FR on the mind for the future..who knows maybe our buddy jimmy will be the test subject for the RF..he is talking about replacing his current one... I wish i knew where to buy 20-24" dia  pipe at around here... that would just make me one happy camper..

Thanks..it was fun, now on to the next one we  were asked to build. Today my wife suggested we put this one on craigslist to see what kind of price we could get for it..would be nice to get enough to cover the costs and buy us a welder for home.

Wow.  My wife does not love me near that much.  Great build folks.  You should be able to market those and sell them quite easily if you can get the price right.  I know that here locally someone is selling UDS at a HEB (Texas based grocery chain).  Most of the stores have a dozen or so out front.  You might be able to find some local chain (hardware, grocery, etc.) that might want a small piece of the pie or a local internet listing site.  Once again, great work.
