- At home...
A welding foreman at one of my customer's shops has been putting together a smoker for a few months and once it was finished he tried to sneak it home... I convinced him we needed to christen it by throwing a lunch for the crew... pork loin roasts, brats, BBQ beans which were served with potato salad, chips and the like.
Then a few days later we smoked some fatties for morning break, then some salmon, then the following week a turkey. He finally took it home last week. Today was some sort of 6 month safety atta-boy lunch and the company bought pizza & wings, which is usually a pretty big hit. About 5 minutes into it some of the guys came over and said "We'd trade this #@%!* pizza in a heartbeat for some more of that barbecue you guys cooked". :mrgreen:
Here is the progress of the build. This unit turned out pretty good, mostly because it's roomy, has a big charcoal basket, heavy wall firebox, it's double walled, and has 2" of very expensive insulation. The temp swing is less than 5° between the shelves.
He's already making plans for another one.
