    Sandblasting in the Houston area?

    Hey everyone, I need to find someone to sandblast my RF. I'm hoping to find a place in the north Houston or Conroe area. Any recommendations? I asked a couple weeks ago in the Texas forum, but no takers. Thanks, ty

    Thanks guys. I have been (intentionally) between jobs, but I started the new one this week. VERY little time in the near future for working on the smoker. Its been fun working on this and other house projects instead of having to go to work every day, but that time is past. I'll try to get this...

    I fired up the smoker today, but I still need handles everywhere and a shelf and thermometers and sandblasting and paint and........... But the big news is how well it drafts and burns. I'm very pleased with it. My wife picked up 5lbs of bacon "ends and pieces" for seasoning, so I cooked that...

    My pipe is 4.125, so that's 53sq inches. If i use two pipes, it is 106.9sq inches, which equals the volume of a 5.8" diameter pipe. I assume I would plug in 5.8" into the calculator and determine the height required (20"), then make both of my pipes that length. Correct? Two pipes at 20" height...

    Thanks for the input Dave, but.......... My fire box doubles as a grill so the lid opens and would interfere with anything on that end and........ The only pipe I have is 4,125 diameter so that's what I would prefer to use. I have considered putting a hinge in the pipe to fold it down as...

    Any issues with double stacks? Using the calculator, my exhaust pipe needs to be 38" tall at 4.125 diameter. If I use two pipes side by side, I can cut that in half. Any thing I'm missing here? Drawbacks to two stacks? My pit is 4.5' tall, so 38" would make it too tall for my preference. Thanks.

    Starting my first build

    I feel your pain. I have been shopping for an axle, and just about bought a boat and trailer just to get the axle. Looking forward to watching your build.

    I got some work done over the last few days. I made a valve to close off the smoke to the cc, even though I really didn't think I needed to. I also made an air intake. I messed it up and made another one. Then I thought it was too big so I made another one. 1.5 days for an extreme novice that...
