Man I can't wait to see her all prettied up with fresh paint!

 

[peculiarmike]

I'm sayin it's for good! Looks just like one. Bet it smokes just like one too.

 

[coz]

Brought her home from powder coat tonite and started the assembly process and low and behold ran out of 1/4-28 stainless allen bolts.I will try to get some pics tomorrow.

 

[coz]

After an accident last nite and the cooker falling down about 4 feet I did get some work done tonite.I will get better pics when I fire her up saturday.

Purely a thing of beauty,and you built it yourself !! great job on an even better smoker !!

 

[coz]

A little better pics.I will be seasoning it tomorrow and doin a few butts and a fatty,with spatchcock chicken for sunday if she behaves.

 

[coz]

She is seasoned and has a couple butts and a fatty in her.

 

[coz]

Fatty is done and the butts are rolling along nicely.The cooker has held temps with in 2 or 3 degrees for 6+ hours on a very windy day.

Todays cook

 

[deejaydebi]

One heck of a trial run there Coz everything looks fantastic!

I'm guessing you are pleased with the wonderful job you did on the smoker and the smoke!

 

[peculiarmike]

Now THAT'S what I'm talkin' about! Fine job on both, the smoker and the meat.
I knew it was going to be good.

 

[squeezy]

Every thing looks good, I especially like the way you did your ABTs, less work from the looks of it.

Nice job!

I am happy with the way it cooks,I know the learning curve will get me somewhere but it is to be expected.I have some trinkets to finish like the rest of the cooking grates.But at least its cooking.We had the inlaws over yesterday for our easter.The bro in law and his wife were in Mexico at easter so this was the first weekend we could get every one together.After the cook we moved it to where it will be parked and leveled.Plans are being formed for a smaller one to be portable and 2 guys can load in a pickup or put on a trailer.The smell when its cooking is much much more aromatic than the old GOSM.Time to start playing with recipes that every one else was doing while I was building.

Coz -

We're all waiting for the next smoke! Great job!

Looks like top notch work Coz. I bet you'll enjoy it. It's gonna smoke one hell of a load of salmon I think.
