Some of ya know I made a plywood smoker. Been doing great. My Dad's bud all but begged me to let him borrow it. In exchange, i'd get some venison sausage & whatever. He called my Dad, Dad called me.....it burnt to the ground. He forgot to put a drip pan in it, I didn't tell him figured he knew what he was doing. Well ya'll....he said it was a fire from hell. He was out doing chores yesterday, said it was doing great. He's more upset that it burned & thought i'd be po'd. Nah....be allright. So yesterday....I went back to my root's & used my ECB for some chicken. I needed refresher training. So the good news is....Louie said start lookin for what ya want. Hmmm...thinkin!

Also no property damage. And the shutoff valve in the gas bottle worked. That may have been interesting. So the Coffin gone!

Oh forgot to ask... was the food done? ;{)

Bummer. She will live on in memory. LOL Glad all ok.

:bounce:

Dave

Did you order a drum yet???

Mike, ya shouldn't a called it a coffin, now ya gotta bury it! Ya gotta idiot proof these days, common sense died along time ago. Sorry ya lost the smoker, was it thin blue smoke at least?

Did you order a drum yet???

slanted88. that was like and icon, landmark. for you.lol.
sorry it got burnt. god only knows for the best. I always thought one day it would create a heck of a big problem for you when you got complacent with her.
the lump coal you git out of her remains should make one hell of a smoke.
cremate her with some pork and beef. she would like that.lol.

glad very one was okay.we can always rebuild.

Thats a real drag,Mike but how smoked was the food? :cool:

mike sorry to hear about your smoker....you will be known for that one....glad everyone is ok...like someone else said..you can always rebuild....

Well I'm glad you're OK with it. I'm crushed. I'm going to have a memorial service at Church this evening for it. I feel like I lost a part of my family, almost like a Godson got killed. I did have a hand in naming it after all. :faint:
I thought you got a horizontal w/sfb from a fleeing neighbor. Not ready yet?
Anyway, Mike I'm just gonna have to insist that before you loan out another smoker, you have to get approval from us, here at S-M via posting a poll. Just remember, I'm doing this for you.

Ah man, sorry to hear that! Bet what ever you do next will be even better!

That will work! :thumb:

Now see, these are the kinds of names I can live with. Names that portray the smoker as an object. Which it is. Even though it can have a personality, which your Coffin did, it's not enough of a personality to call it, Georgina or Murphy or, well you get the point.
When my smoker is painted I'm calling it Fpos.:lol:

Quite frankly, I'd be pissed.

You see, you're a GOOD dude.
I knew that.
Hell, we ALL knew that.

I've certainly had MORE than my fair share of challenges this past 16 months, but it's HOW you act/react to "bad" things that make you the man you are.

Ya know....he's a old Navy hard hat diver. That old Brass Helmet...just sit's next to his barn. Begged him for it...told me it can sit & rot till i'm gone. Lost his wife year's ago. I made my bid that when ya go...it's mine!

Mike them helmets were (who knows now) like gold, musta been a tough sob ta do that job. It ain't like it is taday fer sure.

Hope ya get the smoker ya really wan't!

Well I'll toss in the name of one of my old britneys. Everyone kept asking what are ya gonna him. I kept replying Damn If I Know which became Dam Fino. So I am tossing out Dam Fino for your new smoker.

:Cry::Cry::Cry::Cry: Glad no one was hurt though!

Oh forgot to ask... was the food done? ;{)
lol you just know it was - certainly was when I cremated my smoker lol
I think it's some kind of smoking law - the worse the damage to the smoker the better cooked the food in it at the time of cremation :bounce:

No drip pan so I'm guessing grease fire ? Yeah that'd do it in a wood smoker.

As for a new smoker - well the pig bbq we 'built' this weekend out of breeze blocks worked so well I'm contemplating putting one up permament in the garden. Added bonus of a brick/cinder block smoker - can't burn down and you sure as hell ain't going to loan it to anyone lol
