    FINALLY getting my build going. Trailer 100gal

    Not sure if anyone's tried this before, but to ease the smoke and hot air turning past the end of the RF plate I used a piece of 2.5" round tube. I'm hoping it will help curve the airflow around the plate and smooth flow out. Been working on my plenum. Wanting it curved, I got a lot of...

    Yeah I've been thinking about racks. Originally I was thinking two, could do three, I was thinking about making/getting racks to hold ribs on edge to fit more instead of more skidding racks. Not sure yet.

    Sweet! Yeah the gear reduction in the Window Motors are awesome. I've used them in a few projects. Never thought to use for that! Did you just plug them into your trailer plug?

    Agreed with the meat prices for sure. A friend's husband started working at s pork processing plant. Employees can buy case lots for cheap. I hope he keeps the job so I can buy through them.

    More progress this week. I had always thought I'd use an axe for a handle for the CC. I really like this look. I had thought I could make something that would look like an axe head out of stainless, then fit a replacement handle and I'd be set. BUT THEN I had an idea. I had recently...
