What is it with you Texans and Smokers! 
looks good,
i worked with a guy that just recently retired, and as a going away gift to my shop, he left us the Smoker he made out of (2) 55G drums. needless to say, he's from and moved back to Houston. that smoker can cook about 300lbs of meat!

My brother took me to this place called the smoke house in San antonio while I was visiting. Best damn Q I have had.
Glad I am home and country and western music free. 6 days nearly killed me. . .

Well, my dad gave me the 2 big pipes about 3 yrs ago. I finally got around to building the thing. I have a regular gas grill at home too but just like smoked brisket and other meat from time to time. Similar smokers cost about $700-800. This one cost me about $40 in materials(i had all the steel).
Sure, come and get the weedeater........if you can figure out which one works!
O......and look closely.....no MIG here.....thats my trusty cracker box ARC machine in the background!

Hey Kai,
I smoked 3 Geese on Sunday. This coming weekend should be really nice weather to try that thing out. One weather report I saw said it was going to be 84. Smoke away my brother!! Fire and beer...the perfect combination.

being a San Antonio native, I can appreciate good BBQ which I can create at home... sounds like you found the New Braunsfels Smokehouse, though Rudy's is the best in my opinion. Now I am in Salt Lake, I find I really miss the "TexMex hole in the walls" in SA.

Parts! We always buy the same models of equipment. This way when one dies, we can strip it of cables, switches, screws, etc. A brand new weedeater last my company about 1-1/2 seasons. After that, they start crapping out and get retired. Shit breaks pretty quickly when it gets cycled between 20 or so random people.
Parts get expensive. Those $20 and $30 parts add up real quick. Imagine this: Let's say you had a defender with 175,000 miles. You kept having to buy starters, alternators, hoses, blah, blah, blah. Now, imagine if you had a second defender laying around in the same condition to pull parts from.
Also, they may all work one day then the next day we may have problems with 2 or 3 so they will sit there until Monday morning when we take the time to fix them.

I can appreciate that
I was somewhat expecting someone to post a pic of their back yard full of ROVERS which don't work... LOL

That is the only thing about living in eastern NC is BBQ here is pork which I do like but growing up in San Antonio and relatives in OK where BEEF was king. For those who live in FL I used to love going to a Sonny's.
I used to live there many ages ago, I live in NC now. I grew up over off of Wetmore Rd past Thousand Oaks in Green Spring Valley. I go back usually every other year to visit friends I grew up with.
Yeah, thats not too far from some places we used to "try" to wheel. I grew up in Alamo Heights, but came to Utah on vacation 4.5 years ago and decided not to go back. Believe it or not, we have several ex-Heights folks here in Utah now that did the same thing. Ed Bibb - elsewhere in this thread - is one of them.
SA is a great little town though...
