    Red's Santa Maria Build - A Custom Grill for JIMSMOKES!

    Howdy Justin! Thanks my friend! Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to you and your family Brother! Thank you Chris, but I'm certain that a real, professional welder would laugh and shake his head at my skills lol! My only fabrication strengths are, I'm meticulous, and I'm stubborn - I won't...

    Red's Santa Maria Build - A Custom Grill for JIMSMOKES!

    Well Friends, I figure this will be my last update of 2025. I have quite a bit of family stuff going between now and New Year's. I got more welding gas so I could finish welding out the cart to the main body. Then I got an expanded metal storage rack installed underneath, and got casters...

    Power Out for last 4 days...

    I feel your pain, David! I think it was 2006, we had the worst ice storm that ever hit this part of the country. We were out of power for 6 days - in a total-electric house. No generator, no wood stove or back-up heat of any kind, no hot water, no way to cook except my propane gas grill moved...

    Red's Santa Maria Build - A Custom Grill for JIMSMOKES!

    Thanks Cortney! Yep! There are a couple other steel suppliers that are about the same distance from me, but both more expensive...and wouldn't really save any drive time anyway. Thank you Sir! Yes...yes it is! :emoji_laughing: Must be a sign of senility! Red

    Red's Santa Maria Build - A Custom Grill for JIMSMOKES!

    :emoji_laughing: Ha! Yep...can't say that's never happened lol! Try as I might to think of everything, and always make a careful list, I'll invariably forget something. When I start a new build, one thing I know for sure is I'll have to go to the steel yard at least a couple times. Since...

    Red's Santa Maria Build - A Custom Grill for JIMSMOKES!

    I've got a decent progress update today! I went to work on fabricating a cart to set this grill on. Just roughed in here, and tacked together first. I wanted to get it in place to see how the fit-up was gonna be - not bad, but I'll have to do a little adjustment to get it square and level...

    Red's Santa Maria Build - A Custom Grill for JIMSMOKES!

    True! I'd definitely be way past the halfway point! Agreed Jim! I'm in the same boat. My back patio is tiny, and isn't covered anyway. All my outdoor cooking gear has to be mobile so I can store here - roll it out and cook on it there lol! Red

    Red's Santa Maria Build - A Custom Grill for JIMSMOKES!

    I've made some more decent progress on Jim's grill. Last couple days, I've worked on the fire access door. I cut vent holes and drilled holes for a cool-touch handle and for door latches. Then I welded in the cool-touch handle. Welded hinges to the door. It'll swing down out of the way...

    For Sale - Shirley Fabrication Smoker

    Those Shirley’s are very nice pits! Good luck! A couple suggestions if you are open to advice: IMHO, you’ll get better response if you add 2 important things to your ad: First, your asking price(even if you are unsure you’d sell until you “test the waters”, you surely have an idea of what...
