Thanks. Yeah it is going well. We are going to modify a trailer that I already have to fit the smoker. To save some time and money.

We moved the axle back 8" today. Did a little test run today. Still has less tongue weight than we are wanting to we are going to have to remedy that.

Here is the RF plate w/ drain. Forgot to post this one. Cannot wait to light a fire in this thing!

How do you guys recommend protecting the tires on the trailer from heat off the FB? I am thinking a heat shield but what is the best way to go about it?
Thanks.. Matt

CC door ended up warping on us pretty bad. We have it close now and we are working on the hinges.
