The very astute of you will notice I said I can't season it today because it's my 2 year wedding anniversary. I hope my wife is as understanding as she's acting right now!!

I'm about to leave it alone. She took a nap. But she woke up a couple hours ago and I'm still outside. Time to go do husband duties!!

Dohhhh!!!! :doh: best not to push your luck! Won't be able to enjoy it if you're in a body cast! :laugh:
Unbelievable! What am I looking at on the top? Pigs are a nice touch. Can't figure out the bar across of the plate behind it

The bars are there to mount led rope light too. The plate is a place to paint the smoker name on. "Grocery Cart" I just have to get that done myself. (it was a last minute addon)

Is that black box up near the propane tank a deep fryer? If so, what kind?

RV works 6 gallon. It came highly recommended by the Brethren.

Those burners rock. I found they have too much intake (o2) and will blow themselves out when you turn them up. If you block off one side of the intake, they can really crank. Dang I love that pit....
Edit - on closer look, those don't look like the Cajun bandit burners Paul usually uses. Nvm

We had a wreck. Around 6:30am this morning.
I can't tell ya'll how lucky/blessed I am. Had it happened a couple minutes earlier the trailer would be in Lake Pontchartrain right now. Had it happened 20 minutes later it could have caused an incredible wreck in NOLA traffic (on the highrise). Where it happened it just pulled itself over to the side of the road. Across 2 lanes, that luckily because it was so early had no cars in them. This is all going 70mph down the interstate. Amazing.
The locking pin that was holding the removable tongue managed to work itself out while I was driving down I-10 this morning heading to cook at a parade.
I immediately called Tyler FREAKING out. He was amazing, supportive and everything you have ever heard about the Shirleys. I managed to get the trailer back together by myself and happened to have a locking pin in the RV that I used (needs a key to come off). I limped off the bridge and then home. After some inspection I decided to drive to Tuscaloosa. Got here about 4pm. Tyler took the trailer and went straight to work. Paul and his wife Sharon took me and my wife to dinner, these are some of the greatest people you have ever spent time with. I've had a hell of a day, and they truly made it better.
I'm proud to be part of the Shirley family.

Those are (were) custom built by Tyler. Super high BTU. I never got to fire them. But I'm sure he'll have them as good as new tomorrow.

Thank you for the well wishes.
Seeing your brand new trailer smoker run into a side wall in your rear view is a feeling I never want to get again.
