My First Build

[bamaboy]

Still waiting on warmer weather so I can paint.I did get time to test my temps and burn some pecan logs.it took about 40 mins to reach 250,but it stayed there for nearly 2 hrs with no problems.thats with outside temps of 30 degrees.

Looks like a fun build!   I know what you mean about weather affecting your build.   Just getting to my partners shop has been a pain.

Awesome build Bama. It looks like you had a little break in the weather. Progress on y trailer had been here and there, its coming along slow due to the weather as well.

Thanks all,I am pretty happy with the results,especially when everybody that seen it in the beginning and middle of the build thought I was crazy or just a full blown redneck.....LOL.now they cant hide there surprise.

S@M I sent you a pm.hopefully this weekend will be nice and I can smoke some ribs for my girls.gotta finish my female Shepard's house and then I have 4 nice drums to play with and have been gathering a few parts.

This may or may not be the newest link to the pit calc that I have, there was some rumor awhile back that the old one wasn't working.

Also, and I can't find it right now, but there is one that does not use exel.

Not tryin to hyjack the thread here, just thought I would throw it out there for anyone reading the build that may be looking for a working calc.

bamaboy-Nice build!! I've been following this build from the start and was waiting for the finish to comment. My son has a compresser tank that size-the compresser unit died and he was going to scrap out the tank. I showed him your post and I think I may have saved that tank from the scrap yard cuz he's been asking questions about the reverse flow and been taking long looks at my Lang.
