End of day for O&S. 12 hours without making a mistake that I'm aware of. :) There is 2 short side plates left. The side plates need some paint shot on them. I took a sheet of wafer board and some 2x4's and made a grid to hold the spare and jack and other items. The hole is where the battery cover is. I don't think I will get the rain gutter down for the inside before it's time to decide about Kentucky.

You never have time to do it right the first time but you always have time to do it again.

Bought this bullet design meat smoker - cooker on eBay.  Similar design a co-worker uses.  I figure 2 smokers may be better than 1 smoker.  So:  now I own 2 smokers and a propane regular bbq unit. LOL

Slow cooked - smoked  some burgers saturday.  Very good.  Of course : I already had some ideas for modifications to this unit like I did on the other smoker I bought a month ago.  LOL

I have never smoked meat before: this is Just something I am messing with a little bit.  Not too long my car hobby will go away fully or at least reduce by 80%  when I retire.  I need a hobby , I guess

I read reviews on Amazon about this smoker.  Comments about the paint softens up , moves around, causes the sections to stick together when the unit cools down.  All true. I had to get my large screwdriver out and pop apart the sections where the paint had stuck. Even the side door shown there.... stuck closed.  I figure the paint will burn off soon enough.

I had the 72 in the shop under florescent lights. I buffed the hood again. :) I found 2 spots that needed some attention. I sanded and buffed them also. I cleaned it for what could be the last time. :) Yard work followed. It's rained the last 2 days. It was 96 and 41% humidity this afternoon. That isn't normal for the desert. :)
