waking the dead.

my lil tex has been down for awhile. finally got everything i needed to bring it back to life. my fire pot and hot rod where real icky.





and waa laa. brand new shiny fire pot and new hot rod. i also installed a new sensor probe thinging.



made a new drip bucket. can't find the old one. kids probably have it. when are they moving?



i know this guy (6' 8", 375 lbs, tats everywhere, harley rider) who makes motorcycles for ppl for a living. really nice guy. he is just bigger than most ppl. most ppl are afraid of him. nah, i just talk to him like i would everyone else. he likes that. he made me a new fire deflector out of 14 gauge stainless or something. its nice.



it holds temp real nice now.



okie dokie. were up and running. what should we cook?

.

Nice work!

Looks like it needs some pork fat love to re-season it.

you got it...

Ribs or Ribs.

What Jim said! Man that hot rod was toast, you definitely put that Lil Tex through it's paces!

Gotta be ribs!

How about some good ole fashioned hamburgers! You can even put a piece of cheese on it!
