I have texted him many times. He said last he was working on the smoker and then went silent May 19 2015. i have the text messages and the emails. I have been really really patient. I even went to a tank function in upper NJ to see him and the problem was a wheel we had o wait for, but man a whole year?? Just trying to enjoy my tank before i go gray. I am only on here because he stopped returning text messages. i have his cell # and house # no returns. Not angry just want to get tank finished so i can enjoy.it.
