    Sounds like a heck of a mailbox! Can't wait to see it :thumbsup:

    I haven't made our mailbox yet but did make a post some years back out of 2" x 4" x 3/8" wall rectangular tubing. It's 27" in concrete :anonymous:

    Here is my last mailbox I did for a friends new house in the country.
    Dug it out of a junk pile at a farmers home.

    Reworked it and added some stuff to it.

    I’m noticing a theme with your photos Bigdaddy, it’s almost become a game of Where’s Waldo with a smoker in each photo! :thumbsup: And I approve!:fistbump:

    One of my all time favorites is a little grill I built for Stella. She is quite the cook.

    It's adjustable so as they grow can slide it up.

    Not too sure, I remember seeing this pic floating around a few years ago.
    If anything, I’d be down for a hitch receiver mountable one. The wife is already planning a possible camping trip over thanksgiving break and wants me to smoke a turkey during.

    Nothing better than a smoked turkey and it doesn't take as long as one would think either :thumbsup:

    Make it a dual use cooker. Build the base so you can use it in the back yard or pull it off and install on your truck. I have one in the shop I am re-doing like this.

    You guys are bad influences, I was fine with my bullet smoker, now I might need to start drawing up some plans.

    On a separate note, if anyone is looking for a cheap rivnut installation tool I just picked this one up for under $30. Been putting off buying one since I normally just use the pneumatic one at the shop, but sometimes it’s nice to just have one in the toolbox.
    For as little as I’ll probably use it I don’t mind if it’s cheaper.

    That’s me too, my wife’s uncle bought me a small bullet smoker a year ago and I’m hooked. It’s a slippery slope, I just need figure out what direction I want to go with my next step.
