Well - here's another mrcustomsteel thread that ended up fanstastic!!

I've seen this smoker in person while visting D's shop - as usual the fabircation is top notch and built like a TANK!

Now it's my turn to give Stel a hard time for looking like a proud new papa - ROFL!

Thanks for sharing guys - it's been fun following the thread and watching another D Tillery custom smoker come to life. If it cooks anything like how his other pits he's built me have - then I'm sure Stel's a happy camper Wink

The cook pics looked awesome - and fun!

This cooker has some very cool design elements. A fine job by mrcustomsteel and Sgt. Stel.

Hey those aren't Beretta M9's!!!!! What gives, man? Great looking smoker guys. LOVE the EGA, but Cuba is missing. All jokes aside...set up shop in front of the main gate going into the Island....you'd make a killing. Great job.

Fair winds and following seas,

Trey

Joshsheff1, Thank you.

daddywoofdawg, Thank you. The lights are 1.25" pipe over 1" pipe to swing out with set screws to tighten. Stel did the wiring. Maybe he will post some more pics.

cody, Thanks. I can build you one as big as you want!

vexter1, Thanks. I used much of what I learned building the General to make Sarge.

Hell Fire Grill, Thanks.

missionsusmc, Thanks. Those are traces of my Colt 10mm Delta Elite 1911A1 Frame. Send me a Beretta and I'll use it next time.

pullit, Thanks

Sgt. Stel, I'm so happy you like your new rig. More action pics please. I'm looking forward to Mizzou tailgating season.

trueque, Thanks.

Devildog03318590, Thanks. I love making all y'all Marines Happy. It means a lot to me when I have a theme and it rings through.

Happy 4th everyone. God Bless America.

Sgt Stel, I absolutely love the build especially the "steam line" but be careful with your feeder line. I am assuming, and I know what happens when you assume, that if that pig tail plug comes out of the outlet you could have a male plug in water or setting on the ground "live". Possible shock hazard. Other wise I think you have done an awsome job on this cooker and will "borrow" a few things from this build.

Brian Briggs · Posted: Jul 08 2010 Post subject:

I must have missed something. What is the electricity for?

Sgt. Stel · Posted: Jul 08 2010 Post subject:

Yes hatfam the rule is that the feeder line gets plugged into the rig before anything else. I might even run a tie wrap around the pig tail to the black pipe to keep it secure before the extension gets plugged in. But you're right safety, safety, safety!!

They wanted like $35 for a male outlet and I just couldn't see that.

Brian Briggs the power is for the lights and I've pre-wired for a stoker that I've yet to order. Also a fan or radio would be nice LOL

nice job Sgt. i would like to point out a few things if i may. since this cooker is going be outside, all of the outlets should be G.F.C.I. outlets. the next thing would be the pig tail for the power tap. i think a twist-lock plug and outlet would be a better set up. if someone trips on the power cord ,it will not pull out, and put you in the dark.

now drop and give me twenty

OK guys I'm contacting an electrical supply house to get the inbound power done right!
