Ok...though I have a few little things to take care of, I'm calling this one done. I am very happy with how it turned out. I have now done ribs on it, and some pork butts on it the last two weekends. We towed it 320 miles up to the Oregon coast and cooked for a family reunion. I had an 8 pound and a 7.5 pound pork butt, some corn, and then turned the heat up and cooked some salmon steaks that turned out very nice.
I've not done much towing, but I didn't have any problems with it on the trip. It is a pain to back up, as are most small trailers with short tongues, but even my 3.0l Ranger barely knows it's there.
Here's a pic of it in full dress, with the umbrella and side work table.
Here you see can see the propane burner and charcoal grill that attaches to the back side and stows in the cage, under where the burner is sitting. The grill portion used to be my
Chargriller's firebox. It got a new handle and a sheet metal patch. I and going to add a little chimney exhaust to it. On the last picture of the bbq below, you can see the plate it hangs on.
This is a good view of the front side.
