Come down to Vienna, GA for the Pig Pig Jig in October. The BBQ is
fantastic but the rigs are phenominal. 16' tandem trailers with a 6'
grill on either end. and swiveling lazyboys in the middle. Separate
beer and meat refrigeration, hydraulic lid lifts, satelite TV, self
contained pressureized water system that automatically mist the fires to
keep up the humidity constant. When you are sitting around for 12 hours
cooking a pig you have the time to think up the damnedest features to
make life easier.

OK, I'm going to sound like a lovestruck baby, but I took a local
blacksmithing class this weekend (my first ever) and oh boy does
this open up a whole new vista! Anyway, this isn't a blacksmithing
plug. I'm now seriously into 3 things that I can see merging into
a really great project.

Cooking, machining, and blacksmithing. Barbecue/smoker, anyone?

Seems like there has *got* to be a to-die-for BBQ design out there
that you need to know about metal cutting/welding/propane orifices/
piping/forging/cooking to pull off right. Maybe electrical too if
the design had a rotisserie mode.

Anyone know of a really cool design? Maybe start with a leftover
chunk of Alaska Pipeline (well not that big, that stuff was 48"OD)
or some other pipe, put a perfect cut on it with a plasma cutter,
forge some really cool handles and stand, you get the idea.
