Worked on the second side table. I had a few water meter caps to use. Was going to use them as my exhaust stacks but they were just too small diameter and too heavy for the top.

So, I ground them out a little bit and made beverage and dispenser holders;

Keep um coming I can't wait to see this bad boy done!

:mrgreen: In the home stretch now. Have to fabricate the cone top, throw on some paint, assemble with brass and square head bolts, and it'll be ready for smokin!!

getting a little warm in the garage the last couple days

What are the holes just below the top ridge for? Do they stay open?

That's a picture without the threaded nipple welded in on both sides.

it's for my Rib-O-Lator and rotisserie for chicken, etc.

I have threaded caps for them when not in use.
