my build: phase III
well, got her mostly put together, now I'm on to finishing out the prep area, paint, seasoning, and getting to know each other.
got the fire box mounted, cut 4.5 feet out of the trailer, and found some fenders
air intake
prep area framed out
amazing how much better it looks,,, all one color. what is not black will be Dark red
now I got to finish the prep area, get my granite put in, set her up for gas and figure out how to support the egg...
she is seasoned and already had a good run.

Nice looking pit. Can I ask where you found the diamond plate aluminum tear drop fenders?

Craigs list, think it was the killeen CL, but he is in gatesville, nice guy and seemed to have lots of them, both tandem and single. they were 1/3 what TSC wanted,,, but they are thin. so no steping on mine.
my whole project has been on the cheap,,, very budget minded, but i hoped the diamond pate would make up for my dirty welds.

Kids have decided my cooker might make a good Jungle Gym… mom is not impressed.
but they offer a bit of help as well.

Re: my build: phase III
off to the granite guy. She pulls really well. I got her up to 55 on the access road, but did not want to push it as I don't yet have lights or chains, and want to grease up all my moving parts, as she has sat for a while.
Starting to take shape!
got all my propane "stuff" ordered, had a lot of help with that: piecing fittings and hoses together,,, thanks to all of you.

Re: my build: phase III
Any worries about the granite cracking with the vibrations of the road and all?
