    sent deposit on my new shirley fabrication smoker.

    I know this response is a little late, but congrats! You'll love that cooker, no doubt. I have the 24x65 on a trailer with warmer. If I had to do it all over again I'd add the baffle from the FB up into the bottom of the warmer, so that the warmer can be used as a dedicated, smaller smoker. I...

    Shirley Fabricators Smokers

    Not at all. Plenty of smokers come from propane tanks. Most of his come from just steel tubes that he gets, and cuts them to order. If he uses an old propane tank (like a ton of smokers out there are), they're sand blasted enough so nothing is on the inside but bare metal.

    Shirley Fabrication donates a smoker for my charity BBQ events!!

    Sorry I'm late on this, but it speaks volume of you and Paul when you do these kinds of things for our vets. Truly is a great thing, and it makes me proud to be a soldier and serve people like you all! That is why I had Paul build my smoker when I had the funds. Class act all around, as with...

    Reverse flow smokers

    ^^ Congrats!! I truly believe you won't regret it. I know the wait sux, but then again virtually every pit builder is super busy this time of year. The warming box is awesome! I use it as a charcoal grill, a small vertical smoker, and also warm my splits when I'm not cooking in it. It's very...

    My new Shirley Fabrication smoker

    Wow that is crazy!!!! I was in 4-4, and went to flight school with CW2s C. Wray and B. Simon (don't want to toss out their full names out there). Not sure if you knew them or which company they were in, but they were in 3-4. Good dudes. No ac.... Don't remind me. Rivalrys aside, we honestly...

    My new Shirley Fabrication smoker

    Thanks! Haha, I've gotten a lot of flak from that! I grew up in Chicago, and so far being a Bears fan is better than a Vikings fan here!

    My new Shirley Fabrication smoker

    No worries lol! Yeah, the 58s are going bye bye, and their mission is being replaced by 64s (since the new E model being fielded is bad-a$$). From what I understand, most, but not all of the guard units with 64s will give em up for 60s, and even the units that will be keeping their Apaches...

    My new Shirley Fabrication smoker

    Our hangar was renovated when I was active duty and I found the pc link in a pile of trash. It was all bent up, but I kept it anyway. After years sitting in a box I thought it would be perfect to add it to the smoker. I just joined the MN guard, and will go back to flight school to learn the...

    My new Shirley Fabrication smoker

    Today I finally got the chance to season my SF cooker. Man, this day couldn't have come fast enough! it was tough to have it sit in the garage for days without using it (busy schedule after picking it up). Anyway, what a difference than my rusty ol Brinkmann Smoke-N-Pit.... First, let me tell...
