bvbull200's Gravity Fed Cabinet Smoker Build Thread - Under the Tutelage of Maner

PF 2020

 

I too vote for Smoker McSmokerface

 

I guess I could have posted an update, but we're at the stage where there isn't much to show.

Basically, I'm working to get all of the corners filled in and squared off as best I can. Maner gave me some direction and I went to work. I did a bit of horsing around and, of course, cooking on Saturday, so I didn't get a ton, but it's basically taking edges that look like this:



And working them to look something like this:



Those are two different edges, but I forgot to do a before/after on one. It's tedious, but all in the pursuit of a really nice, clean final paint job. Too much quality work thus far to betray it with crummy finishing work.

Oh and I bought a trailer. Change of plans from the original idea, but this is a bigger and better idea. Pics of that later.

That will likely be the name that sticks in TW lore.

Right now, I'm leaning towards an alpha numeric model name, but dubbing it "The Bull". I like the sound of it and it's easy to reference.

"Tomorrow, I'm loading up 'The Bull' with a few briskets and some pork belly."

 

There may or may not be a plate sent out that says Smoker McSmokerface and Puff The Magic Smoker on it.

 

BVB 200

I thought we settled this already?!? Haha
Good job taking care of the little details before the paint.. you'll be proud of that later!

 

It would be cool if you had a longhorn bull's head made out of steel with a mean look and the smoke coming out of his nostrils. Maybe a brass ring in his nose too.

In!

 

Funny thing about my username.

Waaayyyyy back in the day, we had those AOL disks where you got something like 20 free hours of online time. I had to set up something for an e-mail address, instant messenger, or something, so I needed a screen-name. First thing I thought of was my initials - BV.

I was trying to think of something "cool" that I liked. I had never lived in a city with a professional sports team, so, at the time, I was a Michael Jordan fan and, thus, the Chicago Bulls. - Bull

Being in the mid-90s, the "future" time, when all the cool stuff was going to happen, was the year 2000. - 2000

The very first screen-name I ever had for anything was bvbull2000.

When we ran out of hours, we popped in another disk, but "bvbull2000" was already taken for a free trial, hence bvbull200.

That's been my screen-name for basically everything in the 20+ years since. It really doesn't have any meaning to me other than I've just been too lazy to think of something else .

That said, folks have kind of known me online as "bull", so I suppose that's something. I also like that "The Bull" sounds like a mountain of a beast, which this pit will be.

The alpha-numeric name would be more likely to incorporate Pitfaced BBQ in it. PFB-GF01 (Pitfaced BBQ Gravity Fed 01).

I'll get something slick sent up to @Kanyon71 and his laser beams .

 

Smoker McSmokerface. Got it. Great name!

 

Did you get your Davey Crocket to work on 12V? You never replied to the other thread.

 

That name will be there whether I like it or not. A monster of my own creation.

 

I never tried it out

 

I get distracted easily

 

Blah blah blah Smoker McSmokerface blah blah blah

 

GF 2020

So.. based on the calculations.. you can fit 3k PBBEs in this thing... but now we need the calculations on the Texas Pretzels ... you know.. for science

 

@Misplaced Nebraskan

You down to twist some pork belly?!?!?

 

HAHA.. that sounds wrong
