One tidy little package!
Only down side, very very sharp edges!
Let’s just say we have given the blood sacrifice ! Lol

I was able to shear the expanded metal for the racks, should be able to weld them up on Monday !

Thanks,
More progress racks welded and fire basket in place.

Is the expanded metal flattened? for the racks?

Thank you for the advise on sealing the wood.

I was able to cut and mitre all the rack material tonight. Still moving closer towards the end.

I'm going to use food grade mineral oil to seal it. I will be good with the patina that will come with age and drippings. Just going to add character.

Picked up a piece of wood for a front shelf!
Tell me what you think.

I will look into the brace, I've never run a smoker like this before.
I've never even seen on in person, just taking a leap of faith! LOL
I'm sure I will have a BIG learning curve ahead.

A little more progress this weekend!
Does this look like it will work? I know we still need the expanded metal.
Thanks

Leaning towards linseed oil !
Thanks

Great night tonight.
Got most of the shelf slides in, welded all the doors up.

Thanks for picking up what I was putting down! Lol

One other thing , is this the thin blue smoke everyone speaks of?

Better night tonight, welded the BP in.
The guy helping me weld REALLY gets into his work!

Not a great night, but we were able to cut the BP. A lot of welding to do this week. I will post pics as we start.

I think I’m going to make an adjustable one, fix the dam at 100% and make a slide to close down to 50%. I will see how it goes. I should get working on this some time this week. Thank you for all the responses

And how do you determine what throat percentage? You want to choose?

Got a little more work done tonight, smoothing all the cuts from the plasma cutter. Getting ready for the BP installation can someone tell me how much space to leave at the bell end? Also thinking about using part of the rings to make a wood rack. What do you think?

Yes I picked up an old 2 axle boat trailer we are going to mount it to. Needed to get it put together to see what mods need done to the trailer.

Big night tonight! Got the tank welded to the fire box and the shadow plate in place as well.

A little more progress tonight, cut the firebox door air intakes and throat!
A little test fitting and may get to weld it up this week!

Thank you for the quick responses. I was worried it might affect the flow.

Quick question, if I use diamond plate for the BP what side should I put down? I may not be able to dig up a smooth sheet.

You know it! I’ve been priming the pump with beef ribs and burnt ends!
