A strategically placed hammer blow to side of cook box will fix the lid issue ......a hacksaw will fix the thermo interference issue........:biggrin1:
haha...possibly. Remind me wait to invite you over until after he fixes the issues :wink:A strategically placed hammer blow to side of cook box will fix the lid issue ......a hacksaw will fix the thermo interference issue........:biggrin1:
Yeah, for sure! I gave AJ some freedom to do as he saw fit on some things, so he deserves some of the credit in the design as wellAwesome smoker. I bet there is great satisfaction in customizing the features.
Man, that sucks!!! You live and learnLike the car also. I had a 1974 Pontiac Grand Am (455 Olds engine) that I kept until 1991. Sold it in a moment of weakness to a friend with a great sob story. He sold it in less than a month to a kid that crashed it. They say all things happen for a reason. Whomever "they" are.
Psshhh! You guys are having a great couple years here and I'll admit...I've watch a fair bit of Aggie football this year and last. Been a lot less frustrating than the crap we have thrown out there!As for the TU Logo .............",,,,,"
Seriously. Nice unit and good job.
Now there's a comment you don't hear on very many forums....... Nice unit.......
Yeah as a life long UT fan I'll have to say that I've been pretty proud of A&M and how well they have done in their new conference! I thought that they'd get beat up pretty bad for at least a couple of years but they got off to a great start. Unfortunately UT is under-achieving this year, so I've had to root for A&M a little more than I normally would!:roll:Yeah, for sure!

Thanks! I basically combined a LSG vertical offset and a NB Bandera as my inspiration for Earl....Very nice looking custom smoker Peeps. Seeing yours, I can hardly wait to get my Lonestar Grillz Vertical Offset. I hope you get the lid issues worked out. Did you have a hole cut in the side for wiring your probes?
Look into Baking Steel for Pizza. I've had several Pizza Stones crack and eventually break. I'm either going to get the brand "Baking Steel" or have Chris cut me a piece of 1/4" A36 to put in place of the firebox cooking grate when I want to do Pizza. It has far better conduction and thermal mass than a stone and will never crack or break.
back at ya on yours! :wink:Peeps,
Congrats on Earl. As a newbie, I appreciate you given details along the way.

If you look at the pic below, there are a couple notches in the side of the smokebox near the little shelf. There are matching notches in the door. That is where I run the temp probes.
