Hello,
I found this Bar-Be-Que for sale for $125.00 it is the right size for cooking for around the house. It cooks ok for a grill. It needs some extra work on it plus I would like to change it around and add a firebox on it. I’m thinking of using one of the smaller propane tanks that I have for that purpose. I need to put in a drip pan and put the smoke stack on the other side. In the tank instead of using a pipe for the extra fat and water top drip out of it has expanded metal instead. I’m thinking of putting a drip pipe or just leaving it as it is. The expanded metal is on the same side of where I will be putting the pipe and firebox. Your thoughts on this? I also need to get it higher off the ground to a more comfortable level while working with it during cook time. Also I’m thinking of some other kind of wheels to move it around. Hard to move as it is now. The temperature gauge needs to be also replaced as it is reading a temp even when its not burning anything. And of course I need to put in some thin strips of metal around the doors to keep the heat in.
I did have my first barbeque. Wouldn’t call it a smoker yet till after I get done working on it. I cooked some ribs using my own recipe for rub. Two of the ribs I put Mustard on first to give it an extra kick.
