The white dot is a spirit entity. Just ask those folks that are into ghost investigations.

Did you mod your smoker for the RF? I've been thinking about modding my Chargriller to RF. If you modded it, did you post a thread with info on it? I'd be interested.

Great looking ABTs, by the by. Sometimes I think I could live on those and nothing else.

Yep

Man those look good!!

thsmormonsmokes · Sep 6, 2012

Crap. I was worried it might take welding skills to do that.

Since I have 0 welding ability, how would you go about bending plate steel to match the curve of a smoker? If I could do that, I could do the patch job on the old stack hole that way, secure it with a few SS nuts and bolts, then RTV the edges to block leaks.

The only problem that leaves is cutting the new stack hole. Could that be done with a hole saw? Assuming I could find one big enough, that is. If so, that's a pretty rough and ready way to move the stack for RF without welding skills and such.

Anyway, sorry for thread jacking.

No Jimmy... Actually I was surprised the cheese held up very well... I put the cheese in first .....then the slice of chorizo then wrapped it in bacon....

Dude they look awesome!

If anyone has problems with the cream cheese oozing, try adding a bit of ricotta,to the cream cheese it holds up pretty well

Is there any local welding guys that you know.... I would also check out craigslist in the sevices offered.. you should be able to get someone for a few hrs at 35.00 an hr... would be well worth it. I didnt weld my rf plate in. Its bolted only on the firbox side..... The chargriller is a lot thinner than Mine.. You can mod it by flanging the exhaust and bolting it and patching the hole... Yes a hole saw would do the trick but watch out if it grabs.. it can ba a wrist twister..
