Hey gang
Some may be aware of my BBQ for the Homeless and Veterans cause. Diesel Dave and I started it late last year and its been growing since.
Paul Shirley (Tuscaloosa Q) saw my posts about it and gave a very generous donation of money to our first cook last fall.
To sum it up, I asked Phil for permission to post this thread.
Here was my PM to him
"Hi Phil.
My name is Brian Agee.
I want to ask for your permission to post a thread.
Its about Paul Shirley and his smokers.
He is building one for me
the reason I ask this is because I have started a effort, BBQ for the Homeless and Veterans here in Michigan
Diesel Dave is my right hand man, he told me that he has been in contact with you about our efforts. I very much appreciate you letting him ask for donations and the support that your site gives us.
This brings me to Paul...
He is donating a smoker to me. For some reason he has chosen me to be the recipient of this very generous gift. He has seen my threads about my BBQ for the Homeless and Veterans and felt compelled to help.
So what I would like to do is to start a thread about this pit he is building me.
I just want people to know what a special guy he is and to show off his handiwork.
Yes, this is advertising and he did not ask me to do this. I just feel in my heart of hearts that its the right thing to do.
So please let me know if this is ok with you. He is building the pit right now and has sent me pics of the progress.
He has no idea that I am wanting to do this..
If this is out of line, I understand. I used to be a moderator in a very large fishing forum and I know the power that a forum like this possesses and the value of advertising, so I will not be offended if you do not want me to do this
thanks Phil"
Phil graciously said it was fine to start a thread of the build, so this is what I am doing!
So in the following posts I will walk you through were we are with this build.
Its a 57 X 24 cabinet model with Pauls special warmer/cooker box. The trailer and been reduced in size since I have limited storage space. This was all done custom for me, I am sure it will become a good seller for him for people with similar storage issues
Here are the first pics he sent me.
thanks for looking
