I want to thank everyone on this site for their help during this process. It's been a lot of fun and kind of addicting. I hope I am able to load the photo's on here correctly. I just finished my first Mini build this afternoon. I will break her in this weekend with a nice Tri-Tip and some ABT's.

I decided to take out the entire bottom instead of drilling holes and go with 3 cooking racks. I will add the heat diffuser tomorrow.

Instead of mounting a temp gauge, I decided to use my grommets for my Maverick.

I added a few die cut decals :

I think it turned out pretty well. Not to shiny and not to dull. The detail in the Lion didn't turn out as I'd hoped, but it's still ok.

I ended up making a second Mini for my brother. I liked the paint job on his a bit better.

Pretty sweet. I enjoy my little one. As soon as the 22 arrives I'll have the entire family. Trying to figure out what to use the mini for in comps. Shorter cook time on charcoal load is the only concern.
 
I finally took mine to a tailgate and this little thing worked great! I have 5 friends asking for a Mini in their teams colors.
 
? paint and peel

I got the die cut but did i do something wrong i had to get a razor blade and cut out all the letters and stars for my steelers mini and its doesnt look as good as yours ?
