    Wholley crap!! That turned out amazing!  And for everyone trying to justify a plasma cutter.... Just buy one, it's only money.. you'll make more!

    What I do when I'm black out drunk is none of my business...

    Do you already have a buyer for it??? Was hoping to pick your brain on this cooker's performance. Drop me an email when you get a chance.

    Don't be such a tease - at least drop a couple of clues!
    Haha. It's another project I found on Craigslist. I'm a sucker and jumped on an opportunity. To give you a clue I'd have to go to a place to worship and wear black. Don't know if I could do it! If you get the clue keep it on the hush hush.  ;)

    To me it looks like you and your dad have a future building offset smokers!  You might as well have started from scratch with the amount of work, re-design, and rebuild you did!  You might be able to pre-sell a few of those on the forum (if that's allowed) to fund your new project without needing to sell the eggs!  Amazing work and can't wait to see the new project.

    Thanks! I wish I had the skills and ability to start from scratch. The new project doesn't need as much attention but I could easily see it turning into one.

    Looks great @WeberWho.  So you are selling you eggs as well or just a few of them?  I am hoping to some day have a Marshall maybe, but have a home theater and basement to finish first.

    I'm in the same boat. My basement also needs to be finished. I've already started buying components to build speakers for the front left, right, and center channel. Just need to start ripping out walls, carpet, and all the other crap that has stopped me from having any more fun.

    I have nothing to really rip out just need to move some walls out that I framed  to make the room bigger and I need to clean the basement out of junk we don't use.

    My new place has no room for my theater gear.  I'm sad because my HSU fronts and center along with my Rythmik FV15HP are all sitting unused.

    I would rather light a candle than curse your darkness.

    That sucks.  I have a lot of room just no money to what I want.  Wife is now wanting my to finish the part of the basement that we access to get to the theater room area first.  I guess it makes sense and will at least get the outer walls framed up.  I need to get some estimates on HVAC for the basement before closing everything in.
