Finished my Smokin Bowtie Mini

[Doug Selman]

Hi all, a few weeks back I got a WSJ silver off CL for $10 and built a mini with it. This is the brother to the Smokin Joe I made for our nieces' husband. I used a Vasconia pot from Walmart.

Here's the front



Used an air cleaner nut for a bottom vent handle



Here is the backside



Added expanded metal to charcoal grate to keep coals from falling through too soon and basket



Fired it up for the maiden cook Saturday and again today (Sunday), will post those cooks over on the picture forum.
Thanks for lookin,

Doug S

That's an outstanding looking mini, probably the fastest mini on the forum
