Saw it while driving a van for work. Spent my lunch break driving this thing back to my house.
It’s got some rust, the existing paint is faded, and the thermometer is shot.
So I got a wire wheel for my grinder, a couple cans of high temp flat black paint, and a couple universal thermometers.
It’s far from perfect, but it looks great from 10 feet away, and it only cost me like $20 n supplies!
I’ve never owned a grill before, believe it or not. Let alone a smoker, or anything to do with charcoal. But so far I love it.
Made lots of hotdogs to practice getting it hot and running it. Made steak for my friends, with some guidance, and the consensus was “tasty!”

Before this it was an integral part of Jeff’s Mobile Pet Cremation service offering.
I’m Jeff, and I want my crematorium back!
Well it tastes good!
Hey that gives me an idea…
No no, I couldn’t.
Or could I?
Some dude who set his smoker out to clean and paint it “MARIE, WHERE THE FUCK DID MY SMOKER GO?!”
Can’t afford a smoker… But grills about $3000 in beef at today’s prices?
No joke! That’s about $30 in sirloin, but still.
I strive to be frugal everywhere I can in life, which helps save money for the times I want to splurge.
Not buying a smoker, literally helped me afford the steak. And that’s also why I practiced on hotdogs instead of steak.
Additionally, the mashed potatoes was a giant pot that cost maybe $5 to make.
Between the steak and potatoes, we ate leftovers for literally 4 days off that meal, not a bad investment.
There are better, but not bad 😅
