My 24x50 Shirley clone

[shannonc]

I havent been on here for a while now. Between getting cookers built, loosing my mom in Jan. And my FNL in Feb. Its been a rough year.
Anyway on to the good stuff. I liked Pauls design so much I had to have one, but I couldnt afford one so I built my own with some different touches to it. I completed it in Febuary. It cooks like a dream.
Specs are 24x50 cabinet model with a 24x33 vertical and insulated firebox. On to the pics.

Another great looking cooker!! That's two I've seen from you in the last couple minutes I just noticed that you're in Central Texas. What area do you call home? I'm northwest of Austin in Lago Vista.

No need to buy one when you can build your own. Nice work!

Nice work, I had to laugh, that poor brisket must have been real lonely in that smoker.
