CIVIL ACTION - LAW
DEFENDANTS OBJECTIONS TO PLAINTII~FS CLAIMS
Paragraph 1. Non contested
.COUNT I.'
.BREACH OF CONTI~A. CT
Paragraph 2. Non contested
Paragraph 3. Non contested
Paragraph 4. Objection
1. It was not on or about April 15, 2002 that the Defendant entered into an oral contract with the Plaintiff
It was on or aborn March 11, 2002 that the plaintiff agreed to c~mstruction of said smoker/grill as demonstrated
by Defendants ("Exhibit A" attached, Thos. Sommerville Co. lnvoice for 275 gal. Oil tank).
2. At the time of agreemem between Plaintiff & Defendant there was no discussion regarding the said "Labor rate"
of forty ($40.00) Dollars per hour.
The Plaintiff agreed to construction of said Smoker/grill for a fraction of the cost that the Defendant could
purchase a" Lang Smoker-Cooker Model 60". ("Exhibit B attached)
The Plaintiff asked some questions at the time of agreement. C~ae: "Do you want it on a trailer? Defendant
replied: "No", Plaintiff response was: "That will save you four lto five hundred dollars right there." Second,
Plaintiff asked: "Who was going to supply the materials? Defendant reply: "I will supply the materials, the
tank, legs, casters, vent plugs, thermostat unit, smoke stack, paint, any material you need. I just need you to cut
the tank and weld the parts together." Plaintiff response was: "OK, that will save me a lot of time".
The discussion ended with the Defendant stressing tliat he needed to construct said "Smoker/grill as
inexpensively as possible, a fraction of what the retail cost would be for the "Lang Smoker-Cooker Model 60".
The Plaintiff said he understood and that he could do that as long: as there was no trailer required, and that the
Defendant supplied the materials.
(Note: Defendant supplied materials total cost: $428.14) ("Exlfi'bit A & C attached")
Paragraph 5. Objection
On July 3, 2002 Defendant was informed that the Smoker/grill was complete. Defendant drove to PlaintifFs
place of business. ' ·
After vaewmg the Smoker/grill the Defendant determined that the Smoker/grill was
incomplete, constructed to the wrong specifications, and hazardotcs to use.
1. There was no separation grate in the smoker box to keep the smoker wood separate from the heat source.
2. The thermostat unit was in the wrong place, and a Defendant supplied "securing nut" for the thermostat
unit was replaced by one of a different thread type rendering :it useless.
3. The lid/door jams were placed on the outside of the lid/doors instead on the inside of the Smoker/grill
which creates an inefficient seal.
4. There were no stop plates in place to keep the lid/doors from opening all the way to the other side of the
Smoker/grill that creates a ha?a_rdous situation.
There were no lid/door supports in place to keep them from dropping on the user, and with the jams on
outside of the lid/doors, this adds another 10 to 20 pounds of steel that could fall on the user. In the
Defendant's view this is very hs?ardons.
Paragraph 6. Objection
On July 3, 2002 Plaintiff submitted his bill to the Defendant. Defendant is refusing to pay the plaintilTs bill.
Reasons:
1. The Smoker/grill is not constructed to the Defendant's specifi~fi~s as outlined in Defendants
Paragraph 5. Objections.
2. The Pi~.intitt's bill is not a fraction of a "Lang Smoker-Cooker Model 60" as agreed to by the Plaintiff.
~nJ:nCtd~s~$4°~· 14M~UCanhdmtho~rer~w~h~e~o~Y~O~ ~t~,~e into ac<~ ,unt.,the cost of the materials supplied by the
, -,~ ~ u,, ~a~t mat xt lsn t even on a traaer, a savings of four to five hundred dollars
by the plaintiff's own estimate.
3. Defendant Disputes Plaintiffs bill. There is no way irt the Defendants opinion that the Plaintiff has as
37 hours into construction of said Smoker/grill as he claims. Defendant visited the PlaintifFs place of
business on a weekly/bi-weekly basis to check on the progress of the project. The project of
s~mnm~ .ctin. g said S. mok.er/.grill which took the Plain~[f from March 11, 2002 until Jul 3.
to oe a project that sat in the ba,,t- ~'.~-- ,~ .......... y . 2002 and
,~ ,,~ m, rumtua s shop arm was worked on when there was no
other project to do. Defendant witnessed the construction of said Smoker/grill in four phases.
Phase one: The leg support mounts were moved front a vertical to a horizontal position, and the
lid/doors were cut out.
Phase two: The firebox was constructed, and the grills were manufactured.
Phase three: The fire tray it's supports and the supports for the grills were installed.
Phase four: The Lid/doors were installed (incorrectly).
Paragraph 7. Objection
Plaintiff has not fully performed, and complied with his duties pursuant to the aforesaid contract with Defendant.
Paragraph 8. Not contested
Paragraph 9. Objection
Defendant has a greater cost of materials invested than the Plalr~iff does.
Defendant = $428.14 Plaintiff = $130.00
Regarding the labor, That's what the dispute is partially about.
,COUNT H:
STORAGE FEES
Paragraphs 11 through 15. Objection.
Defendant attempted tmsuccessfully to negotiate a fair price with correct modifications being made to the aforesaid
Smoker/grill. Plaintiff failed to discuss the matter and was verbally abnsi,~e to the Defendant. Defendant specified to the
Plaintiff that he could dispose of the aforesaid Smoker/grill since it poses a hazardous risk to anyone who may use it.

I wanted to take the time to tell you that I am absolutely in love with my Model 60 smoker. I have now
cooked on it three times and every time has been wonderful. At Tllanksgiving I cooked (4) Turkeys, (10)
racks ofbabyback fibs and a ham. Everything was fitbulous. I fed :20 folks for the noon meal and evervon
said it was the best they had ever eaten. Included in the list, were a couple from France and a lovely l~'dv f
Australia. The Australian was experiencing Thanksgiving for the first time.
I have now told numerous individuals about the smoker and have sent several towards your web site. The
smoker is all that you said it would be and more.
Thanks again,
