| Johny V- It seems to cook really well...holds the temps conistent, but its going to take a little while for me to learn how to cook with it. I like how it recovers the temp after opening the smoke box. |

Holy smokes, that thing is awesome. Why did you keep us all in the dark during the build?
How about some pics of the inside and dampers, etc? _________________ D. Tillery

WOW! That pit is great. You can see a whole bunch of Chucks influence and rightly so! I have picked up several ideas for my next pit from him!
Good work! That is the great thing about building your own pit. The fun doesn't stop after the build is done!
I am looking forward to starting my next project... _________________ God Bless the "Q" and the People who eat it.... Amen!
