    Dual RF Smokers on trailer....My first adventure

    You would think I'm from Texas, but no.  Born and raised in Medford, Oregon.  As far as I currently know there is not that rule here.  I guess I will find out next week when I apply for restaurant license.  If it is a problem it's really not one.  I have never had visions of grandure.  I built...

    Rib, From what this guy said it's sprayed on and then I believe baked.  2 day process.  I asked him tonight about light rust, did they first need to go to sandblaster, he said no and he would do necessary prep.  I think I'm in heaven.  Should be getting them on a truck this week.
