WHAT'S WITH THE "RED CUPS"? Don't you have any other color? Good job on the cooker and the ribs.

Looks awesome Greg .. Also good to see Speedy back on the job !! Kinda wondering what he was doin ??

What's Speedy's job? Guarding the red cup? Laughing

Glad to see you switched to a coffee cup. Much more discreet...The red kinda gives it away though!!

Just thought you guys would get a kick outta the red mug Laughing

Had a GREAT evening Sat. nite ... got RedRoosters unit making soul (smoke)
and he cooked up a pile of GUUUD bbq, these things are REAL nice to cook on Very Happy

had a bunch of good ol' boys at the "shop" including Darrel B. (which was specially nice) and told some lies and kicked some tires !! Laughing

"Speedy" is probably the smartest bbq mah farceur this side of Burnside County, so he's always around when there's meat to cook .
keeps an eye on the Red Cup levels etc..
Nice to get the MRM 1.200 home and do up some really nice ribs that RedRooster hooked me up with,
I'm/we're not done with these units yet...just time to do some testing, lots of fit and finish to do yet but now at least
we can "eat" while we play around!

Well I think we found a name for #2 - it will be the Easy Bake 200 or the EB200 for short.

Buddy of mine just got the tunnel on his sled polished so he had the guy come over to the shop today. "Buffy" started at about 1:30 and finished at midnight. The pictures don't really do it justice but its kinda hard to capture with a camera.

Maybe the polish will take some of the attention off the wheels?? haha

That is flippin unbelievable !! Hope it dont like any brush fires when the sun hits it ... Cool

You won't be able to take that out in the sun without providing everyone with sun glasses!! How long will it stay like that or do you have to "polish" it regularly?

There might be a little maintenance but there wont be any regular polishing. Buffy says it should last a long time with a little up keep and should clean up nice and easy. If it were aluminum it would definitely need regular polishing.

Probably have to paint my door handle and exhaust black now to break up all the ss. I guess I should have got this thing bent up in shiny ss in the first place, would have saved a lot of polishing.

Now I need to make a cover for the hopper and fan assembly to keep it out of the elements plus that will give me somewhere to mount the traeger digital control.

That is a very striking finish! Great job! Thanks for sharing.
