Looks great

Looks good. if it works for you, that's all that matters*

Nice work. Curious, how did you mount it? I like the burn in that you did...

If it was mine I would have made it the full width to make use of all that real estate that it has to offer and to give me a bigger working platform...

Nice job ??

Looks good! Is it fixed in position or does it fold down?

I would have but it's what I had laying around

No I made the whole thing removable w/2 bolts for when I cover it slides on slides off

Interesting, I'd be curious to see more about how you did that. Does it slide over the bolts or do you have to unfasten them?

PS. I spy an MES off the to left of the photo. Nice to see!

Yeah the master built is for 120°-160° for making summer sausage for the first 2.5 hrs than it goes on the bull w/ sticks or jerky
Top slides into groves (cant get a good pic)
and arms slide on bull

 

[Uncle BoBo]

But the cover fits over arms if I leave them on

The supports for the shelf look like they're wood too, putting this against the hot barrel is that going to be ok or did you isolate it somehow from the barrels heat?

No I didn't i was thinking about that too
But I've done a brisket, 2 chickens and steaks w/o them smoldering and that IS how I seasoned them for outside use I torched them so I figure they'll be ok ?
