That sounds like it's going to be very impressive. I hope you'll post any pictures along the way - and especially the final product!Atlanta, GA - Large BGE x 2

@Thatgrimguy I believe that thermometer should work. If you have time you can wait it out and look on eBay for them. They are much cheeper most of the time. Just have the builder weld in the NST threads. Also not sure if you have included on your unit, but I had a few extra 1/2" NST threads welded in in a few spots to move thermo around or mostly for a probe thermometer. I use a thermo works chef alarm sometimes. Just one more thing to ponder.

Here is is one but a lower temp. I have a few different temp ones based off how hot I'm going to go with it. -
I'm going to do a 50-500 which will cover everything I do in the main chamber and in the vertical I'm thinking a 150/750 because I'm going to try and do pizza and bake bread in there.
He is putting in 2 ports for probe wires on the main chamber and 1 on the vertical unit.XL, Small, Mini & Mini Max Green Egg, Shirley Fab Trailer, 6 gal and 2.5 gal Cajun Fryers, BlueStar 60" Range, 48" Lonestar Grillz Santa Maria, Alto Shaam 1200s, Gozney Dome, Gateway 55g Drum -
@Thatgrimguy - I am starting to think your "unit" build may require much more technical skill than I could ever bring to such a project. Congrats on addressing all the details now so you can straight-up enjoy once delivered.
I really should put this thread "off-limits". Talk about building the dream. Again, congrats! "Better to be lucky than good any day"-but there is definitely a whole lot more than luck at play here.
Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win. Life is too short for light/lite beer! Seems I'm livin in a transitional period. -
I went to Shirley today as planned and dropped off my fryer, my camp chef 3x stove, and my griddle to be installed and modified! Great people, great operation. I got to see the new, almost finished shop that they are just waiting on electrical and a C/O. My smoker is scheduled to be done by Feb 1! Hasn't started yet! That's rocking!

Ended up going with a 55gallon water tank because it had the smallest foot print I could find. It's tall at 18x18x44". At least this way I can fill both 60qt pots and still have 25 gallons left for dishes and hand washing. Yeah, it's overkill but so is the rest of the build!XL, Small, Mini & Mini Max Green Egg, Shirley Fab Trailer, 6 gal and 2.5 gal Cajun Fryers, BlueStar 60" Range, 48" Lonestar Grillz Santa Maria, Alto Shaam 1200s, Gozney Dome, Gateway 55g Drum

Thanks for posting the pictures of the stuff they're working on, but you're killing me. That patio version on the heavy cart would be perfect for me.

I went with this water heater.

And I think I'm going to drive the water system with this pump.

He's going to mount the tank, sink and water heater and run the propane hook ups for me. I'll be responsible for the plumbing and electrical systems.

@Thatgrimguy
You'll benefit from a bladder tank. Keeps the water under pressure without the pump running all the time.

You can also buy a pump/tank combo....search for shallow well pump.

Will you be ordering a Rutland from RRP. Might want to give him a heads up.....don't think he has the demensions in his vault of knowledge.Ellijay GA with a Medium & MiniMax

I am looking forward to seeing finished pictures of this beast.Which came first the chicken or the egg? I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

@wbradking Thank you for the interest!!
I actually just got done talking to Tyler Shirley. He asked me about timing and I told him I could just as easy come up Thursday. So he's going to have a little more time to get this beast all together. I did get some teaser shots with it on a cart. Tomorrow it gets mounted onto the trailer. That vertical alone is a HUGE smoker... I can't wait to see this thing! Waiting stinks, but I'd rather it not get rushed. My charity cook isn't till Feb 9th, so I'll have all weekend and Super Bowl Sunday which falls during Mardi Gras.. so I'll have a lot of fun next weekend. I doubt it will fall under 200 degrees for a week after getting it.

I have to admit, this is fascinating to follow. Not only the design, (brilliant) the build, the images shared, but also enjoying your excitement for the process. I know you will have fun and enjoy this food machine.

Thank you all so much. I can't tell you how excited I am. I even had one of our customers at work ask me if I got my smoker yet.. I'm obviously talking about it a lot!! I'm looking forward to being able to do more charity cooking.
