Those are some nice looking smokers. When I get around to getting a stick burner I will definitely take a long look at these. I love that they are very simple, well built smokers without a lot of bells and whistles.

Just find 315 buddies that can chip in $25 and you can bid the $7,900 that's up next. You can count me in for $25 to help you start your BBQ Fund Me exercise.

$8300 as of today. I'm betting closer to $12k when done. Would be cool to brag you have the first Franklin pit but my wife appreciates other things...like a roof and food on the table.
