That sucks RW... but like you said, it'll all work out eventually. I have plenty of steel connections in KS and surrounding states but unfortunately not in FL otherwise I'd see if I could help you out somehow. I do have some friends in the Tampa area though... so once you have some prototypes...
I say go for it... see how you survive in the rain. If all hell breaks loose then just be as prepared as you can. If everything falls thru then do a little cheap advertising to your followers (facebook, twitter, whatever social media you are on) and offer them meal packages... you may not sell...
Thanks SmokinJokers... you should check out RibWizzards rigs. He has one similar thats made out of a tank and a lot bigger... plus he has a lot more experience.
I finally got to put in a couple more hours yesterday and got the 14" extensions welded on and its taking shape! Was going to just use...
Ah, I was at the zoo in Wichita today with the family... is it bad that I see certain animals and think how they'd taste smoked?! I wish I could work on mine more often but life/work is demanding and I've barely gotten started with just a couple partial days over several weeks... and months of...
I agree with most... black looks best but I like your idea of having the black aprons for the cooks and another color as the main. Unless you were here around KU country, and then blue and red would fit right in! RCJH
RW... just got back from a hog hunt and catching up with family and work stuff, now I'm doing lots of reading trying to catching up on the forums and just came across yours... I'd say you're on track and got a great idea, especially with the add-ons you plan on doing. Getting a standardized set...

Well I was able to make it back into the shop for a couple of hours Friday afternoon and feel like I made some headway... looking forward to getting it shaped up later this week. Hope everybody had a good Easter weekend and enjoyed some good Q... I know I did!
Finally split... and as you can...
Well... not so sure about "Good" Friday. Just started getting into it, had the pipe split and was working on layout for the tread plate and bam... had to get back into the office to put out some fires and the guy helping me had to hop onto building some stairs for a job that got pushed up in the...
Nothing wrong with that at all Ron... in fact I was thinking of changing mine from "Fat Boy" to "Chunk" (reference to Goonies and I call my 7 month old 30lb son Chunk. HA) or "Moose" (was my dad's nickname... and boy did he love bbq!). Even if I stuck with Fat Boy, it'd only bother me if you...
Yep... even though mine is only 40" wide, 1/2 pipe plus 7/16 plate for vertical extension and RF plate adds up... and that's not even taking the at least 3/8 thick FB into consideration. The old welding cart I'm putting this on has a good tilting handle on it so I figured connecting it with a...
