Hatched another one

[Henrik]

I haven’t posted in a while, don’t know why inspiration isn’t coming to me. Haven’t cooked on a grill in many weeks. Anyhow, still fabricating offsets, this is the latest one. Not yet 100% finished, but soon. Got an email from an American living in Hungary for the moment and he was in need for a real smoker. The strange thing is that shipping it to Hungary wasn’t even expensive.

Adding the 4th layer of hard wax oil to the handle:

As always, beautiful! I'm sure shipping to Texas is astronomical.

[Jerod Broussard]

Sweetness. Nice of you to spread powdered sugar on the ground to make the pic more aesthetically pleasing.

[Henrik]

Finally someone who notices all the effort I put in 😂

[rlozinak]

Looks great.

[Jerod Broussard]

Did you get the magnetic drill press??

[Henrik]

Yes. I absolutely love it 👌

[IFindZeroBadCooks]

It is beautiful Henrik. Remind me, have you done one with that boiled linseed oil look yet? That pantina look?

[Henrik]

Thanks! No, I use rape seed oil (I think that is canola oil, right). The patina comes from using it, it goes darker and darker.

Nice Hank. Any major changes from your 1st smoker that was ready for sale to what you're putting out now?

[Henrik]

This is the 3rd gen. But no, very small changes, more cosmetic things. Biggest change is going from 5 mm corten steel to 1/4” regular steel.

Beautiful piece of ironmongery! Look out Hungary, an American ex-pat is about to roll some smoke!

I hear ya about feeling uninspired. I don’t know what it is but I just don’t know what to cook lately, just stuck in a rut.

[Andrrr]

barelfly That may just be the ticket, but I think my real issue is between work and kids sports I just don't have the time to spend any amount of time building a meal right now, if that makes sense. Everything needs to be quick plus my kids are picky (don't get me started) so it just seems like work lately rather than fun.
Back to the Birria though, I haven't made your recipe yet but I think the broth from Views on the road and STCH meat prep is my fav so far. The chili oil is 👌🏻

[barelfly]

I get it! My kiddos are old (last semester of college and high school) - I was in your shoes back in the day, coaching both kids teams and wouldn’t get home until 7:30-8pm most nights. My wife was cook in charge at that time. And even now, times when we just don’t feel like cooking. The winter cold, dark…that doesn’t help!

[Andrrr]

barelfly I really am not a fan of winter anymore.

[Elton's BBQ]

That smoker sure looks fine Henrik
Yeah i`ve noticed that you have been a bit absent lately..

[JCBBQ]

[Elton's BBQ]

[Old Glory]

Very nice craftsmanship!

[Henrik]

Thank you!

[HawkerXP]

Lookin good in da hood!

[ecowper]

She’s a beauty! If it wasn’t so dang expensive to ship, I’d have one of your smokers in my yard right now.

[58limited]

+1 They are beautiful!

[texastweeter]

You hatched an iron dragon.

Noticed the white ash on the ground.
