Our Grill/Smoker

2012-01-16T13:19:00.008-06:00

Back in early November, I started building a brick grill/smoker. This is my first attempt at laying brick. With the bricks left over from the addition to the house, and scrap metal on hand, I was able to finish it today. The only cost were the grates to cook on and the mortar mix. I've included a picture with me, so you could see the size. The grill is in the front and the door in the back is for smoking. The small door on the side is to clean out the ashes.

My Latest Project

2011-09-16T17:32:00.003-05:00

I bought this 1973 Super Beetle in June of 1989.

By the end of that month I painted the hood and put the engine out of my 1968 VW van in it.

In August of 1993, I repainted it. This time a darker blue. In July 1998, I painted again and went back to the light blue. Over the past couple of months, I have been restoring it. I finished the outside today.
