Saw it while driving a van for work. Spent my lunch break driving this thing back to my house.
It’s got some rust, the existing paint is faded, and the thermometer is shot.
So I got a wire wheel for my grinder, a couple cans of high temp flat black paint, and a couple universal thermometers.

It’s far from perfect, but it looks great from 10 feet away, and it only cost me like $20 n supplies!
I’ve never owned a grill before, believe it or not. Let alone a smoker, or anything to do with charcoal. But so far I love it.
Made lots of hotdogs to practice getting it hot and running it. Made steak for my friends, with some guidance, and the consensus was “tasty!”




my good dude, if you weren’t planning on keeping that smoker, that’s one hell of a flip. I’d toss you a few grand for one in that condition were i looking for one, and that’s excellent beef you cooked up. i ain’t even had my weed yet and i’m getting hungry looking at it.
i went through this absolutely idiotic period of my life where i had no appetite but weed was not legal and i was literally so lawful stupid i was dying myself to death rather than have a joint to quite literally save my life. (no really, the effects were that drastic when i finally did) i bet a community of delicious food photos could really help people as stupid as me. also i want to look at them.
i can tell you already know your way around a kitchen, but these websites taught me the ins and outs of smoking: amazing ribs, virtual weber bullet, and… probably serious eats? i know there was a third but i’m only halfway through coffee yet. the third website, whichever it was, taught me a ton.
