We got the smoke box so hot last night, it burned part of the paint off. Glad we had some left over. Once we got her up to temperature, she actually stayed at it better than expected! We are going to burn her in one more time tonight before the hogs and brisket go on at 12am Sat.

Super job Les.

By this you mean the beer consumed while building this, right?

Crap, we better make that $650.

(supplies = flapper discs, cutting discs, wire, gas, etc.)
