Lookin good!

Going flat or shiny black?

[BruceB]

Looking good Rich!!!!!

[Richtee]

Flat- wanted to do a color..but the paint was $60 MORE per gallon... yeesh!

[Rich Parker]

It cleaned up nice! $60 more a gallon for color???? Forget that.

[tearl42]

Can't you take it to someplace like Macco and have them do a paint job for less then $60/gallon?

[sfisch]

She's gonna be purdy!

[Capt Dan]

[Richtee]

Funny you should mention that... the vert door'll never see more than 300°... Hmmm....

That would be Q-Chat...

[Richtee]

Update: She lives and breathes!

Very well, apparently. Bro had her to 350° no sweat, and down to 250° easily enough. The vert with the baffle in runs about 75° or so less... and runs same temps about as the horizontal with it out. NICE! Lookie that thin blue :{)

[sfisch]

[Richtee]

Very nice Rich!!!!!! pitenvypitenvypitenvypitenvy.....:(

LOL.. well, I'm gonna play with it a bit...but it MAY be up for sale. New cost without shipping would be $3600. Wow. If we could get in the area of 2K... I'd have to consider it. Only because of the Beast being all I really need for bigger smokes. But never know...could be love at first smoke! :D

Plus, it'll fill the middle- 8-10 slabs, etc. And has the sausage hangers in the vert too. That makes it easy.

[Richtee]

Rumor is- Bro is willing to part with the thing. Well, AFTER I get a smoke or so on it. Great deal...I think he's nuts. $1500 to forum members. Gonna post on CL for 2K.

Barring that... I'll keep it :{)

[CORYS CUSTOM COOKERS]

Looks great !!!!! Nice cooker !!
Have fun

[michiana mark]

Looking good Rich:D

[Blue]

Looks awesome, Rich. Congrats!

[Rich Parker]

She sure does look good all cleaned up. Your bro shouldn't have any problem getting $2k for her.
