Welcome to the Zippy Smoke Hut

thanks bill, you are correct, the hut was built low & slow to the ground, 'cept of course that one edge leading to the backyard, so a quick 2 steps & your there... maybe some nice fluffy playground equipment rubberized 'stuff' should be put there to, well, you know, to 'help' those that need a soft landing :ermm: :huh:

thank you oldfishing

You know I really don't know, I made a pile of them a few years back from a giant branch that had fallen from one of my trees, it could have been the one that was cut down but but certainly not post cut down... by the way these things are great, have'm all over the place, put some felt circles on the bottom & poof, insta-coasters

Thanks Eddie, & I have every intention of enjoying it year round, if your're gonna cook year round, you may as well be as comfortable as possible right

thanks Brad, & like I said above, those times have already begun. The day the roof went up I cooked a batch of chick-o-stix amidst a furious downpour. Me, the wife, & my buddy who built the hut sat out there cook'n & drink'n for about one hour during the storm from hell, no shingles, just plywood & paper up there, it sprung a few leaks but the beers took care of all of that, it was a success, now I am looking forward to the next big storm now that it's all tightened up, feelin pretty strong here

JL, it is quite 'shack'esqe' isn't it? Lookin at the DP Smokeshack all this time was of course part of the motivating factor, just knowing that if I had one I wouldn't have to do so much planning around the weather...

And yes, my buddy does ride, however, the dirtbike variety, he's an animal with that thing, loves it, helluva great guy too, we go way way back. He & his wife & kids will be over to officially break in the Hut soon for a little pizza/wine festival, we should all enjoy the happiness that his skill has bestowed upon casa di zippy
