: : OK, I saw this commented by Smoky in another post concerning brick

: : "Having said all that, I probably have more plans for brick grill

: : I also read all your oth
er comments regarding them. So I guess
: : I'm just gonna have to learn the hard way, cause I'm determined
: : to build one. I've been using a NB Hondo for a few years now and
: : dealing with it's shortcomings (NB thermometer reads high, have

: : I also honestly think (perhaps wrongly) that the brick pit will
: : look good and actually add value to the home (even if it's a fl

: : planter) if built correctly. Have about 1000 bricks left over from
: : home construction, so they'll match at least :).
: : Now, back to your quote, please let me know of some way to get a
: : look at some of your plans! My ideas f
or the pit:
: Geez! Now you tell me! I just bought a #2800 Hondo by NB! Haven't
: opened the darn thing yet. And it's too late to return. Mark, isn't
: there something great about this grill? I was hoping to use it as a
: cold smoker
-- God willing.
: : A pit with an offset fire box, larger than the Hondo's, but not so
: : big that I have to cut down a forest every time I fire it up, a
: : cooking area slightly larger than the Hondo's with a top. I was
: : also planning
on adding to one side a smaller open grill with a
: : gas line for doing the quick burgers and such.
: : Sorry for the length of this post, but if anyone can help it would
: : be greatly appreciated. I have checked the local libraries and
:
: even called Sunset books, the Barbecue (Building?) Book isn't
: : produced any more and they don't have any. I can't find plans
: : anywhere! Help!!!
