That will be one impressive rig. I'm on the list too. One additional thing to consider is a Sear station/rack in the firebox.

Did you already send a deposit in?
If not get that done. You will have plenty of time to decide what you really want.

Did you look here

Scroll down the page and change the standard option of "view from the last 10 days" to month etc. There is a 30X80 close to your other choice options. With a wider trailer. Etc. No waiting.

That's an impressive build! :thumb:

You don't see many with the reversed warmer and full length shelf option but like most things hindsight is 20/20 ~I'd never go back to a rear facing warmer after having it set up this way.

This is the same elevated 24x70 straight back cook chamber and elevated warmer your having built, the full length on the shelf is a big help with extra room for meat totes when loading it up and likewise if you cook in foil pans it makes handling them from cook chamber to warmer much easier and safer if they are full of hot liquid you can just slide them down the shelf.

My only advice comes from my order years ago. I wanted big but downsized to a 24x55. Never really thought about how much room is in the elevated straight back cabinet. I added a 4th rack and I can easily fit 20 or more briskets in the main chamber. I'll never cook more than a dozen. Should have gone with the 24x42. I know that going smaller is frowned upon around here but make sure your excitement doesn't lead you to buy more than you need.

Looks like a most excellent build sheet. The insulated fb is a great investment. Send that to SF now. Minor details can be ironed out later. Just don't go from a 24x70 to a 30x90. [emoji33] Congrats!

I had front frame mounted char grills for years on my commercial pits, hated the extra tounge weight that came with them on account of having to use a hand dolly to make the move in and out of the tight side clearances on garage doors.

Seems there's never a spotter around when you need one to use the tow vehicle.

That sear station option is really handy when you need it, I don't miss the char grill at all and with the insulated firebox a little charcoal goes a long way.

When you don't need the sear station grid in the firebox it does double duty in the bottom of the warmer for an extra grate.
