Its starting to come together

 Been using my OBS for a few weeks now with the Maverick 732. My Auber duel probe PID came yesterday. I just ordered from Y & P a couple elements and heat shields for that upgrade. I read a post on here a little while ago on how to clean the drip tray. As I am finding out, things do like to stick to this thing. So I ordered one of those as well. I deal with a company at work that does non-stick Teflon coating on our molds for making air filters. They also can do FDA approved food grade non-stick coatings. So I plan on getting my new drip pan coated and see how that works out. If all goes well, I'll probably get everything done. Racks, pan and bowl. I plan on doing this just after the first of the year. Ill let everyone know how it works out.

Now there is a good idea.

That may be cheaper than a 15,000 psi diesel hydro

blaster with a ceramic 0* rotating head.

One piece of advice when making the holes in the reflector for the 2nd element. Use a step drill bit to avoid tearing it.

Ill probably just take it to work and use a punch press. Simple, easy, clean.

I used a coned-shaped grinding bit to enlarge the holes after I initially drilled it out to about 3/8-inch.  Yes, that metal tends to tear easily.
