This should make all boat sailors who do a little barbecue very, very jealous. It does me. I wish I knew the proud owner but I got these in an email from an old shipmate, John Tregoning. And I want one soooo bad!

"You sleep safe in your beds, because rough men stand ready in the night to visit violence on those who would do you harm."
George Orwell
"Those who cling to the untrue doctrine that violence never settles anything would be advised to conjure up the ghosts of Napoleon Bonaparte and of the Duke of Wellington and let them debate it. The ghost of Hitler could referee, and the jury might well be the Dodo, the Great Auk, and the Passenger Pigeon. Violence, naked force, has settled more issues in history than has any other factor, and the contrary opinion is wishful thinking at its worst. Nations and peoples who forget this basic truth have always paid for it with their lives and freedoms. " Robert A. Heinlein

AB-
We have a BBQ team here in SoCal – Meat, Inc. We only do about 2 – 3 competitions per year. Best finish is 1st in Tri-Tip, 3rd in whole chicken, 5th in Ribs, 7th in pork and 6th overall – we also killed about 80 beers, two bottles of Capt Morgan, 2 bottles of vodka and 2 – 3 bottles of other booze. There is one submariner (me) and one auxilliary cook (SSN and SS Sailor) on the team with a couple of civilians.
I AM going to build a smoker like this. We currently all use Traegers but since I am the GM of a manufacturing plant with plenty of access to S.S., welding, and a full CNC Machine shop, this project is already in progress. I would like to get in contact of the owner of this smoker so I can save some engineering time. Please send me the contact info.
I’m going to guess that this person is a proud patriot from North Carolina since the state flag is in the background and the logo on the cone is the logo from SSN 777 (USS North Carolina).
