That looks awesome. I need to build me another one. 20 years of weather on mine and the rust is finally about to do it in.

Just out of curiosity how long did it take to build that?

I started in Dec and finished in Feb. this was done over the weekends and after work. I am not too sure what the hours are but they were many that I do know. I would average maybe 6-10 hours a week some less some more, some weeks it wasn't touched at all due to work and time.

May have to give it a go myself. Thanks for posting the pics. I am jealous now.

Very nice! The shelf and the "God Bless Texas" on the firebox really set it apart in my eyes; wish I had a fraction of the skill required to build that.

Yup a Millermatic 211 welder (o; and a Spectrum 875 plasma cutter. Those be some good tools, lol.
Heh, I was referring to the tools required to produce good BBQ, but yeah the metalworking tools are nice too.

I'm so jealous. I think I'll go kick my New Braunfels Smoker and my welder.
