Hello All,

I have been working on my mini project for about four weeks now (life always seems to get in the way). Today I put the last coat of paint on the emblem and assembled it. Now I just have to wait for the paint to cure and I'll be able to cook in it - I can't wait... Thanks to everyone who went before me. I got many great ideas from your build projects. I posted some pics below for your viewing pleasure.

Who Dat!


Probe Ports (one above and one below the top shelf) and BBQ Thermo


Inside - two racks and diffuser position (diffuser removed)


Charcoal Basket


Wrought Iron Vent Controller

​

As you can see metal fabricating and painting are not my long suit but I've always been a function over form sort of guy... Thanks for looking.

Regards,

John

Looks very nice. What hardware did you use for the thermometer probes? How much heat and smoke do you think you lose through those holes?

Matt - I used the Cajun Bandit 3/8" grommets. I plan to insert a cork stoppers to prevent smoke loss...
