Smoke,
I'm not the jerk I may appear to be I just think that if your willing to do the research you should do on any question and still don't feel really good about the answer then bring up the question and get some input from the rest of the forum.

But with the ever smaller numbers of experienced members available here chances are your going to get a half assed answer. If you don't pre-read some or all of the older post on the topic.

And I promise you the majority of the rock solid members that were here just a year ago left because they got tired of answering the same questions over and over from every new kid on the block.

You'll do fine but please research your question and then if you become confused by what you've read ask away. Good luck
jack

Be cautious on the 12 volt system, Reese spent a ton of time and money in his efforts and he wasn't happy with the outcome. You might want to shoot him a note about that. He is a good guy and I'm sure will be helpful. On the backalleyburger post question here are some links that may help, I'm pressed for time right now but use google for your search like this Plumbing;roadfood,
or plumbing:roadfood .
or plumbingpictures:roadfood

Dr of BBQ

There is a thread here by Backalleyburger that had some very good drawings on a couple of different plumbing set ups. If you do a search you'll find it because he wasn't here long but had some great post.

Hey Doc. I couldnt find the plumbing set up but i did find a converter/charger set up you sent him to look at excatly 1 year ago. I ordered a 45 amp converter/charger last week and i am going to do something like it.
Was the plumbing set up on the same thread as this pic?[attachment=0]

Your build looks good so far, would you mind me asking what the window and awning door was worth ? ,anyone know a reasonalbe place that does exhaust hoods ?

The window and awning came put together ready to install. It came from simplicity innovations out of Indiana. I found them on ebay. Its 8x3....its huge. I freaking love it. I paid 1800 for it with shipping included. Its very impressive..good craftsmanship.

I have a fair amount of diamond plate on my jet boat. I shine it up using a mothers buffing ball and mothers aluminum polish. It is pretty rough on the buffing ball. It goes pretty quick but the boat does not get as much abuse as your floor has seen.

Just clean it, it's past the point of ever being shiny again, it is well used.

I tried to rejuvenate the diamond plate on my cab floor, I used CLR and soap. It got really clean but not shiny and new looking, so I just covered the cab floor with a sheet of non slip black rubber tread.

You could always put new diamond plate sheet on the floor. I was going to do that but I didn't want to waste the diamond plate.

The previous owner obviously never cleaned the cab. What the best cleaner or chemicals to get this floor looking the best as possible.

Yeah, a meat sink is a little ridiculous! Did Reese say that little tankless LP heater didn't fly with the HD?

The tankless LP was fine for HD but I would just have installation issues in my small truck.

You are lucky that they are allowing it. I am guessing that with your login name you are doing BBQ and here in CT you would be required to have a 5th sink just to wash your meat in before cooking. It was my backup plan that if I hadn't sold my trailer before moving down to NC that i may bring my trailer down and run it in NC. I guess I would have been over equipped.

A sink to wash meat in? Are you/they serious? That's crazy. What do you do if your making hamburgers?
I'm just LMAO not at you but such a silly rule. OMG I just can't imagine that in any way shape or form. Chicken I
could MAYBE understand, but just meat in general that's just nuts. That's what cooking is all about, and
holding temperatures, to kill the bacteria that may be in on or even around foods. Geez why not demand
a separate sink for veggies, chicken, pork, beef, goat, hands, fruits, and of course one for utensils.Or maybe
one for stainless steel items, aluminum, copper, and of course black iron frying pans.

And I thought Illinois was over burden with silly laws and rules.

MY HD confirmed that the 3 bay sink is no longer required. So My one drain board plus equivalent counter space on the opposite side is sufficient. I ordered my tanks and pump and hopefully by next weekend i will have it set up and ready to go.

Re:New NC Food Truck Build (Dr of BBQ)

I couldn't agree more. In fact our health department and all over Illinois will allow a four compartment bar sink with one compartment being designated a had wash sink.

Re:New NC Food Truck Build (Rollin Smoke)

I just emailed my contact at my county HD. She is the environment health program specialist. I am pretty sure she said the rules she has giving to me are state rules enforced by the county. So i asked her if it will pass in all counties in the state. Now waiting a response. If not im definitely getting the 3 compartment.

Put the sink in, like Reese said, you will restrict where you can work. Could be a costly mistake.
