My Version of the Mini!

[Dave Smith]

Got around to building my mini, had to get the pot from the US and a friend brought it over. Have first grate 4" from top, second on the indent, diffuser is the insert wrapped in foil. Gonna do up a butt on the weekend to try her out!

Looks great! How did you get that finish on it?

Followed the posts on painting it with VHT paint.

Thanks for the info. I will have to see if I can find the VHT posts for some pointers.

That is a beautiful job there man. Hopefully I can get mine to look that nice. Think I might go with some sort of black color to make it look like it's a factory built smoker. Or a college theme would be cool too.

Dave,

Did you spray anything else on the middle section before the Blue color? What was your process on this?

Thanks,

Thanks,
