    Show Off Your Rig!

    Here's my smoker...I built it myself, made out of a 250 gallon (i think) propane tank that was dug out of the ground at my church, a 10 foot pop up camper trailer, and the firebox and warmer are made out of tubing plated with diamond plate floor metal. Everything works really well, couldn't be...

    Pulled Pork and Ribs Question

    I don't know if i'm even calling it catering, the guy is just wanting stuff cooked. I'm not even sure what he is wanting. He was talking this stuff to one of my friends. Just wanted to know....so if he does get in touch with me, I'd be able to give him a ball park figure.

    I live out in the middle of no where, in a county of 5,000 people, so not to much worry about it getting stole.....plus the tires are flat as can be right now, I have to air them up every time i want to take it somewhere and had to pump them up every couple of hours.

    Yeah, they are a little close, actually started to melt one the other day. Thats what I built me some wooden boxes on the back to keep the heat off them. Hope it works, but then again I had it like 525 degrees, so maybe at the cooler smoking temps it will be ok. I spent about 500-700 dollars on...

    The Smoker, The finished product!

    Well thanks, yeah The boards aren't to heavy.....just 5/4 by 6 by 10 inch flooring. The tires on it are awful, probably atleast 10 years old. As soon as my paycheck from my summer job comes in, I'm gonna go get a new set of tires and rims for this bad boy.

    The Smoker, The finished product!

    Well I had someone to do all my welding, since, well....since I'm not the best at it and don't have a welder. And I'm pretty good with a saw, wood and a drill, so I did that. Plus I thought it would look pretty good.
