Today, I handed the City of Wenatchee a check for $2405.99, and they handed
me my building permit. We actually began moving dirt at around 1:00 pm. The
two houses on the property were demolished within one hour --- ahhh, the
power of big hydraulic excavators. The huge rock outcropping was being
hammered down in good time, and the nuisance trees were knocked over and
moved to the debris pile. I expect that tomorrow we will have completed:

1. the primary grading on the lot
2. the driveway and parking lot base will be laid down and compacted
3. the excavation for the building's pad will be done
4. the pit for the 1000 gallon grease and oil interceptor will be dug, and
the interceptor put into place
5. the stormwater collectors will be in place
6. the stub-outs for the water and sewer will be brought up to the building
pad site

I've got pictures that I'll post in the next few days. I'll also post pics
of the new pit that will be going in the restaurant; it was delivered from
Cape Girardeau, Missouri on July 3rd. All 2400 pounds of it ( the kamado #7
was NOTHING to move compared to this big dog).

Oh, and I should have a firm opening date to announce by next Wednesday.

Yup.... hardwood fired, off-gassing aromatics. :-) Seriously, it does have
a built-in propane burner to start the logs, and then it can be engaged to
hot-hold the meat at 145F when the 'Q is done. And I'm sure the burner will
also be useful for jerky production. One thing's fer sure, though; I won't
be able to duplicate Jim's Lazy-Q methods. The chimney and intake is
thermostatically set to shut down if the temperature exceeds 350F, even
though the firebox is 5/8" steel.

Man, sounds like you've been busy. Can't wait to see pix of your new pit.
Seems a bit ironic that you couldn't have gotten a new K#7 in the same
timeframe ;-). I could wax poetic about the pride that we all feel hearing
of your progress.....but I think I'll just put a Fat Tire in the reefer to
drink to you later.

Great news! You are going to publish all this in book form when you're up
and running, right? That way I have some idea of how to do this when I get
started. Of course none of the legal stuff will transfer to GA I am sure. We
have our own strange rules ;-)

have fun,

Heck, Ag, you need to come apprentice with me for 6 months (no pay, of
course) before giving you the complete plan. How am I ever going to get free
labor if I just give the thing away? :-) Seriously, I'd be happy to
consult with anyone who is serious about opening their own 'Q joint. And
there are others, like Chef Juke and Big Jim, who are dang generous with
their time that have high levels of experience and expertise in this type of
gig.

We've got tents and porta-potties. And as a bonus, apricots are now under
harvest (cherries just finished) so there's plenty of fresh fruit to eat,
right off the tree.
