x2. I would do a closed fence with a lockable gate. Although I guess that's easy to say when its not my money.

I agree that it needs to be secured from view and tampering. Can't wait to see you open up for business!

Looking good.
I assume your enclosing that so nobody steals your wood!
Why the exhaust fan? your already naturally ventilated.

Another word of advice. I wouldnt be doing ANY cooking out of there, free or not, until you have your HD inspections.

Another vote on enclosing the smoker. The heart of your operation is exposed there. Too many bad possibilities that would keep you from collecting revenue.

Oh yeah, I instructed the guys to build the roof so that an enclosure of some sort could be easily added if needed. The SP guy that came and installed it said it actually doesn't need any enclosure, or even a roof and he's installed over a 100, but like all of you, I don't trust people and would like to secure it anyway for piece of mind.

Wood is stacked in the barn out back. Secured somewhat, but if somebody had bolt cutters I guess they could get to it.

And the ventilation issue is a health department thing. Even though the firebox part is mounted and vented outside, when you open the cooker doors on the inside, smoke can and likely would enter the kitchen. So, that's why the smoke extractor and exhaust fan is going to be added. When you open the pit doors, it actuates a baffle in the smoke extractor and turns on the exhaust fan, sucking the smoke out the top so that it doesn't enter the building.

Yeah, change of plan and I won't be cooking out of there. All of the people in the road rally are friends and co-workers anyway, but given plans I'm just going to cook at home and bring some pork to hand out and give a 20% off coupon to everybody.

Dang gum I just waded my way through 24 pages of adventure and several cases of TUMS I would guess. Best of Luck on your opening.

good luck with your opening! I've enjoyed your thread. I get to Chicago once in a while and if possible - I'm driving over to show my support!

Things are finally wrapping up. Slowly, but better late than never, right?

We just wrapped up the dining room this afternoon. All painting and trim done, floor scrubbed, and tables and chairs put into place. I also ran some wood through the smoker today to test everything and man, now it smells awesome inside the restaurant. I wasn't thinking though and should have brought a few slabs of ribs to throw on while we were working. Oops.

Now I'm only waiting on a couple of things. The builder still has to install the exhaust fan to the roof, but apparently the curb had to be custom fabricated, so that's taking a tad longer. And then waiting for Coke to bring and install the fountain machine. Unfortunately, they said it might take two weeks.

So it looks like next week I'll start interviewing for employees and begin stocking the kitchen. Things will really begin to feel like it's coming together then.

Here's the virtually finished dining room:
