Thank you! It's finally starting to look like something lol! Honestly though, this smoker goes together so fast it hardly ever doesn't look like something lol!

So today's progress. Got the door latches all done. Finished up some loose ends on the firebox door. Since the lift is most likely not gonna be up and going this week Im gonna try and get racks and rack guides done tommorow, and Thursday if necessary. The metal pipe is getting very small, I'm getting pretty excited! Won't be long and it will be time for the first fire!!

Not much for pics today but here's what I got.

Thank you! I love these latches! So cool when you get them figured out! Against the instructions I didn't have the required 3 beers first, actually only had half a cup of coffee lol! Only had one issue. Last latch, the firebox, I had it all but done and was gonna weld the handle on level with the latch locked and didn't see that it had turned to the open spot. 10minutes of grinding later and it was back straight again lol!

Well sir, if it can be put on wrong we have done it.

Try thinking about a rig with doors on both sides of the cook chamber, that was a whopper of a deal.

Wow I bet!! What kills me is I was being so careful to make sure it was all lined up right and level, not sure how it moved lol! Oh well, can't tell now.

That sounds like a heck of a cooker! Mack style as well?

I hate building racks....so repetitive!

Ran out of time and welding wire so this is all the further I got today. May try to sneak out this evening when everyone goes to bed. Gonna go put up a wheelchair ramp for our men's ministry tommorow and my wife has a mile long list of stuff I've been neglecting throughout this project so I doubt I will get back to this until next week.

Pictures as usual.

Couldn't stand being so close and not finishing up. Went back out after church and worked til almost midnight. There's still a few small loose ends to tie up but other than the trailer this thing is 99% complete.

And as expected, pics. Well just 1 tonight.
