stacks and burners

Postby hapyjak » Wed Aug 27, 2008 10:20 pm

the stacks are 2 x 6 's. two side by side in the middle. three side by side on the end. i have a removable petition in th middle. so i can smoke on the back half while i grill on the other or take out the petition and smoke it all. but thats a lot of meat. the plumgbing on tyhe bottom are two in vent and 3/4 in inlets for the grillin burners or charcoal starters. i have not got the burners where i like them, may not be able to. but still through time and money at it. thanks for the inquire, anyonewith burner building expertise sure would listen to what ya got figured out.

Wow thats a whopper. Sure it don't need a hinge in the middle so it be able to turn corners? :lol:

When it's done, feel free to "store" at my place. No crime 'cept maybe a wayward bear or cat once in while so you'll know it'll be safe :wink: 8)

That's an excellent looking pit. Love the counterweights. Nice placement of the smokebox too. I like it!

thanks for the comments. everyone up here kinda gawks at it and scratches their heads. we have a chunk of time sweat and blood in this one. i have already sacrificed a nerve artery and tendon in my wrist when i got tangled up with a 8 inch disc grinder. back to the 4 inch for a while. its a strech but i would like to get this thing road worthy for the goat cook off in brady this year. if only i didn't have to make a livin or pay for all this high priced steel.
