Pics of Smoker I mentioned in "WDYDT"

I made this smoker with my welding class for one of the maintenance guys @ work.  Hope to get some ribs on Monday for lunch.  He's suppose to be fireing it this weekend.  And a pic of the alligator and snake from reptile Tuesday.  the plywood is a 4' X 8' sheet.

 Thanks for lookin, dpgratz

Nice job Derik.  Where did you get the gator?

[Josh B]

Cool! I gotta get me some gator hide!  Did you get any tail meat to try the smoker on?  Man...I just hungry all of a sudden!  Josh

Nice!!  Gotta keep an eye out for a couple of drums like those!  I'd love to start smoking my own meats.

Thanks for the replys Guys!  My neighbor's Dad shot the gator in FLA, when I heard he was going I asked my Buddy to bring me a piece of one if his Dad had any luck.  He brought me the whole belly. No meat though. In the upper corner are the legs I cut off the hide.  I think they might make good bow grips.  When it's done I'll take some pics of the other side.   Gotta go, dpg

If that hide doesen't have that cute little Florida tag or the numbers on the hide I'd delete the pictures. Season doesn't open till Aug. 29th. I know, I just got picked for the first phase.

It's got the tag popped through the underside of the tail tip.  Thanks for watching out for me though Eddie.    dpg
