Well Used ta be Cool took a serious hit taday. Well lets start at the beginin.

Youngest boys break line broke on his truck, so, dear ol dad takes the new car trailer over an picks up the truck. Get it back ta our house, while I'm puttin the truck an trailer away, the boys decide ta get started, they get out the ramps, start drivin the pickup up em, with no brakes, over shoot the ramps an drive right square inta my smoker! Pushed the back in, caved in the door an sprung it an bent the chimney all up an broke off one a the casters!


The busted caster.



The door, the pics don't show it to well, but theres a gouge in the door as well as cavin in the front. Sprung it perty good to, leaks like a sive now!


Ain't no fixin that stack, gonna have ta rebuild that!

It was also full a Mahogany bacon at the time!

Boy feels really bad an so does dad! Ain't sure if I can fix it er gonna just wind up buildin another one. Gotta let my blood pressure drop before I delve inta that.

Now that there is one hell of a bummer! Sh_t happens... At least your kid is OK after losing his brakes. Good luck on your next build.
 
It's good that your child still comes before your smoker. I had friends whose fathers would let them have it good just for not putting the father's socks back in the right drawer. Mean people make me sick!!

Good luck with the re-build or the new purchase! Glad you & sons are okay.
 
Now there you go E-bay is a good thing. But I'm really glad it didn't hurt the smoker an more them that too.
 
So Tip, did I just move inta leed for the LC Smith?,Buddy,pal,dad.
 
Ya know, one a the things that bothers me most, if yer gonna work on breaks, why use ramps?

They still got lots ta learn I guess.

Gettin awful expensive teachin em though!
