    Sorry I didn't post this sooner.







    # The “Log Lighter” is awesome; I can get a good fire going in 10 – 15 minutes, no problem, the “Log Lighter” does not burn as clean as the "Preheat Burner" but works fine for propane use only.
    # The "Preheat Burner" does a great job as well; I was able to get the RF from 85° (ambient) to 275° in 10 minutes on medium. The nice thing about these propane pipe burners is they are removeable.
    # The "propane pipe burner controls" are easy to reach and adjust.
    # The "ball valves" are nice, I have unlimited control over air flow volume and direction.
    # The "rear air intake" is a nice option for running higher temperatures.
    # It seems to have good draft, no problem getting a good TBS (Thin Blue Smoke).
    # "Heavy Duty fire grate" made from 1/2" rebar will hold up to anything I throw at it.
    # The "slide out utility tub" and "slide out steamer pans" shelf is awesome, I can keep everything organized in these tubs for my future cooks.
    # The "propane lantern" is a nice feature, its actually a keepsake from a friend who passed away and every time I look at the lantern I smile.
    # The steel rod holding up the lantern is from the crib my three kids were in.
    # In addition to the lantern is an "LED Desktop lamp" that throws some decent light, sorry no pics of the lamp.
    # I am installing "GFI Outlet" for running some juice to "Frank".
    # The "12" x 70" table" offers more than enough prep area to do various smokes. The wood I used for the table also has sentimental value, its wood from my fathers workshop in his shed, I have a lot of fond memories of working in that shed, I held on to it for years swearing that I would use it for something. I believe it is mahogany and I am told it came from the old Schmidt's Brewery, all you older Philadelphians would remember the brewery.
    # The "RVQ gas grill" on the side is nice to throw on a few quick burgers or hot dogs, I think I will be installing a needle valve on the grill, the flame is either low or high can't seem to find that perfect setting. I MAY REPLACE THIS WITH A SIDE BURNER
    # The "cutting board" is nice to have permanently mounted.
    # "Trivet Tile" works great for placing hot pans on table.
    # The "Wood storage" is adequate.
    # The 2" "Ball Valve Drain" is a breeze to use.
    # The five "Probe access" holes are more than enough and easy to use.
    # The "utensil hooks" are easy to reach but out of the way.
    # The"Mop Bottle hook" sticks out a tad, but is functional.
    # Recently added a "paper towel holder"
    # Added 3 new "Tru Temp thermometers".
    # Added a new "stow away saute pan".
    # Fire basket for better fire management.

            Cool Setup!

            Curious how your log lighter works??
            Is it just burner inside the fire box?

                    My best asset however is the inspiration from the members on this forum.

                      I love it! My suggestion would be if replacing the side gas grill you might think about a flat griddle. Very versatile.

                              Turned out great. Did you invent the Leatherman?
