    As members of the Smokey Stovers, a junior volunteer firefighters group, John and Jimmy hung out with all the firefighters in their neighborhood. This episode they give back to the brave men of the Hewlett Firehouse by building them a custom BBQ. After picking up a refurbished 55 gallon steel drum, Jimmy and John use a plasma cutter to remove some material from the middle, giving the body of the BBQ pit a sleek look. The guys use steel rods to create tripod-styled legs and add hard rubber wheels to one side for portability. Practical but stylish, the BBQ is also equipped with a utensil rack and a one-of-a-kind handle. The crowning jewel, or rather pearl, of this clamshell cooking device, is the special message Jimmy etches into the grill, giving all meats a "brand name."
