Another mini build thread

I have a chicken in the freezer. It just might get cooked.

Thanks.

It wont look as good as yours cause I am not going to paint it yet.

My ol Texas Ranger tub is pretty.  ….But it's what comes out of it that really counts. Embrace the silver pot.  It looks GREAT!

I'm considering just spray painting mine plain old bbq black because it gets so grubby with continued use....but i can't get myself  to cover up my ND logo. ;)

No seasoning?

Didn't season mine until the first cook! Why waste briquettes, lump and wood if you aren't cooking!!!!

Adam if i ever wanted to grill on both grates i just popped in the lid on the Joe bottom....it became a "double diffuser"    I used the steamer insert as a template do mark and drill holes in the lid and puffed it up.  

This is the diffuser i use in the Jimmy for the most part since i usually go one level cooking on the mini.

Why a double diffuser?

 

[pc farmer]

Nevermind. I got ya.

 

[bdskelly]

Why a double diffuser?

If you double defuse is the heat and smoke then unfused?  LOL  Sorry  just couldn't help myself

 

[fwismoker]

Yea it evens out the temps great and still let drippings go down to the coals.   Rarely use it but if i go somewhere and don't have my drum or Jimmy with me i'd want to maximize the space in the mini and use both racks. 

 

[pc farmer]

I want to be able to use both racks if I need too.

Yep then don't throw out the lid...just drill holes in it.
