Santamaria build time

[tonyjohnson619]

As some know I am building a Santa Maria grill for GTR in trade for a weber rk. I started out with waterjeting the plate at work. Then I started by tacking the frame to the bottom plate and finished putting the frame together. Once the frame was all tacked I flipped it over and started the walls. More to come later but the 16 month old just woke up

This is my favorite thread ever! :whoo:

Lookin' good Tony! I'm making sure the RK is properly seasoned today.

After watching the dude at Jocko's cooking steaks on a SM pit over an oak fire, I gotta say I am really looking forward to this!

I agree this is going to be a good build to follow. I want one of these grills. Wife says I have too many grills and smokers already. Sheesh :roll:

The trick is to have so much stuff your wife won't be able to notice you got a new cooker. :thumb: My lovely wife will notice this one, but fortunately she's cool about these sorts of things.

Looking fanfarkingtastic Tony! :clap2:

Now I have to plan a next holiday to Cali to see that rig with my own eyes.
Big hug to my man Johnny!

That looks great so far. I can't wait to see the finished product. I'm in the process of building an outdoor kitchen, and I'm planning on putting one of them in it.
