I'm also thinking of building a charcoal bin/basket and ash tray for longer times between reloading fuel (maybe a stoker or guru too), but that's probably another thread.

:biggrin: LOL! Naw, been looking forward to having one of these for a long time.
The low tonight is 13, tomorrow night 11. I may have to delay the sandblasting till next week, which is a bummer cause I was really looking forward to getting it fixed up over the weekend and making some smoke on Mon.
If so, maybe I'll just fire it up, brush the grates, and hit it with Pam in the meantime - and do some ribs! :-D
Blast it for $180, replace the things that need replaced. Then go to the dollar store and buy a dozen cans of cooking spray, spray everything heavy (inside and out) and start a fire and let her sweat. Tthen lube everything with your lube of choice, e.g., lard, bacon grease, peanut oil. You will be very happy when you finish. Post some more pics when you finish.
If you have additional time and energy you can add a roof system. Ben added one to our 84 when we ordered and it has helped big time in maintaining compared to our 60. Easy to raise and tows great! We dropped one side and used as a wind break for us and a couple of other teams during the big wind at Dover in 2007 :-D
Woo-Hoo, that is a sweet looking set up:-D:!:
How much $ do you have in it as shown, if I may be sold bold as to ask?
Agreed, I'd give him more than a talking to. The Lang is looking good!I am very glad you are doing this - restoring the Pit but, and I hope I do not offend, I hope that the original owner is found and spoken to in a very cross tone. That is what punishment he deserves... a stern and brisk talking to...
:-D
