HOLY CRAP! I made it thru!!! Only took the better part of 2 days...
on top of that, I just got off the phone with Bevo who pointed me in the direction of some new barrel's... whoooo hooo no burning the liner! Like I was tellin him my main goal in building/using this is better/consistant fuel efficiency... The "Binford Smokemaster 3000" went thru 2 bags of coals, and unless I'm cookin a ton of meat, I just can't justify that...
So yeah... when I get time away from my 60 hr work weeks, this WILL be in the making...

I can't wait!
