    275 Gallon RF Build

    Finally got some paint on her! I've been using it so much, i had to find time for paint. Still having concerns about a permanent trailer. i am leaning towards building a custom trailer for it, and i still want to add the propane burners and a firewood storage area. maybe a warming box? thanks...

    i used 3/4" angle and cut one side down to about 5/16. that left a little wiggle room for the 1/4" plate (door) to slide

    275 Gallon RF Build

    last weekend we did 20 pork chops, 10lbs of chicken quarters, 3 racks of ribs and a 12lb brisket. All of that took up about 20% of the rack space. Everything was a huge hit! I used Jeffs rub on the brisket and ribs (2-2-1) If i can afford to feed it wood and buy the meat, I will be in business!

    test fire went very well. i need to add some braces to the door so it doesnt want to warp when it gets hot. temps stayed within 10degrees of each other. kept her going for about 3 hours. today is the real test. ribs going on in about 3 hours.
