Another 250 gallon RF Build Thread (My first build)

[lendecatural]

That is an amazing job you have done, and all in less than three weeks! It must be some kind of record around here!

I am the kind of guy that once I start something I want it finished. Not everyone has the tools and equipment to do these like I do! I admire the guys the do these builds with limited equipment and time no way could I do that. My business is seasonal and picks up mid February so it was important to get this done before then. Thank you and everyone else for the nice comments.

Turned out really nice, I like it. Post some pictures when you fire it up. I probably just missed it , but what size stack did you go with ?

I already have ideas for the door weight and other raised plate decorations...US Flag, Missouri outline, team name etc....but the Pig will be there for the weight.....by the way our team name is " Well, I'll Be A Pig's Ass!"

Great looking build. How is the paint holding up? Did you have to use a primer with it? I'm fixing to sand blast mine to repaint. Looking for something different for paint instead of just the high temp stuff at lowes.

We just painted it so don't know how it will hold up. The paint was fairly thick and labeled "Do not use thinner" I have a good feeling about the durability. Sherman Williams said I did not need to use a primer so we did not. I wiped tank off real good with lacquer thinner before painting.

Cool, how much was a gallon?

 

[dockman]

$80

There is a picture of it a page or 2 back with a part number.

AWESOME BUILD. This is by far one of my favorites to follow. I am still gathering materials for my first build (its hard to buy stuff when you in between jobs). I hope after I can get mine going it turns out at least half this nice. Well done.

 

[dockman]

Thank you! It was a lot of work but has been worth it.

If you build docks half as pretty as you built this smoker, you are going to be one busy Jose' this summer!

We build a very nice clean looking dock. Thank you guys!
