Nice work 05!! Progress looks great!

 

It took close to 3 hours to mount those two brackets on the tank last night it was trickier then I thought to level everything and mount them square.

Its starting to come together if I don't have tons of stuff going on I should hopefully get the tank done.

 

Well instead of completely finishing the big tank like I had planned this weekend I ended up putting a few minor finishing touches on the clone cooker instead.


Here it is completely finished.

 

Both smokers look great! Can't wait for another opportunity to enjoy some BBQ off of them!

I have been busy cleaning, painting and reorganizing my garage. Man does that take forever, but I am getting closer to what I wanted when we first moved here, 3.5 years ago!

 

Great Job for sure! That looks amazing! Good idea with the wheels too - at 500+ lbs, I'm sure that helps a bit in moving it around!

 

One more night of non stop grass cutting and then I will be able to get back to work on the tank tomorrow. I only have to make a shelf weld a couple nuts on and then bolt down the door handle and it is ready to be cleaned up and have some fires started in it to start seasoning it.

 

Well I got the reverse flow done enough that I can cook on it. I fired it up this weekend and did a couple seasoning runs. I still want to get some gasket to seal things up around the doors and add a couple clamps to hole the doors locked when going down the road. Then from there all that is left is to install the thermometers, and paint it black.









And here is some pulled pork (no foil until rest) that I did on the clone it turned out great, already have people asking me when I will be cooking more.

 

Wow that thing has come a long ways! That looks amazing!! Great job!

 

This is too cool!! I've never seen a dual-rear airbag setup before. Also has a front airbag setup in place of the coil spring! King shocks, HUGE tires, front and rear winch setups, this thing is equipped to the max!

 

Wow what is it used for?

 

The wheels are ridiculous on that, otherwise, Hellyeah!!
Check out this F250 I saw while getting gas today.
He must have been awesome at block stacking in preschool!




Oh, and this is my side project. Nothing like trying to follow Dustin with his cooker!!

Turning my kids old tag along bike trailer into a cooler/ stereo trailer for party bike rides. PVC pipe frame, then plan to fiberglass it, LED's, etc for some fun. There is a night time ride here in Omaha in July that I want to have it ready for.
This is just a mock up of the right side, will be doing exact same to the other side.

 

05-smoker looks awesome! Sweet metal work!

Ty-that is a sweet rig! Was that at work? Looks like one of the rigs I saw on TV that can camp anywhere!

Jump_N-nice trailer setup, that should make for some fun times!

 

Camping I assume....on or off-planet! Lol


Yea, it was at work. Brought it in to be serviced. I didn't help him out, otherwise I would've asked a lot of questions and had more details on it.


Bike cooler idea is awesome! Keep us updated as it comes along!

Speaking of bikes, any suggestions on where I could get my girlfriend a bike? She wants a hybrid bike, doesn't need a full blown mountain bike. Her birthday is coming up.

 

That is an awesome trailer idea Jumpn!

A good place to look for bikes is the Bike Shop he has a decent selection and isn't terribly priced. He is located at 1541 North Cotner Boulevard

 

Man, tons of cool pics in here!! That trailer smoker will look fantastic...
