Get yourself a trailer dolly and some wheel chocks from Harbor Freight. It'll make things a little easier to move once you're able to back stuff up to a level surface and you just need to tweak the position. Can't wait to one day put my order in for a Mill Scale. What a beauty!

Are you doing a lot of catering? Is catering your full time gig? If so, I'd love a video how you handled transitioning from 9 to 5 to catering.

@fikscue

Жыл бұрын

Yes and Yea. Short answer: Not easy. Taking a big ass pay cut, but the reward is 100x my 9-to-5. Video in the works!

Other than obvious size, how would you compare the quality between MS and Phil?

@fikscue

Жыл бұрын

Mill Scale is better in overall quality. But then again, they are built 2 years apart and these builders always improve their crafts. I should do a head-to-head comparison on them soon.

what made you upgrade from the 250 to the 500?

Needed more capacity and something that we can bring to events.

I picked up an old 250 gallon tank to try my hand @ building one... is there anyway you could give me a few dimensions off the 250? I could use the overall smoke stack length, cook chamber door size. & firebox height & depth.
