Time really got away from me on this one. Anyways, here it is(finally).

5 years in a commercial setting has been pretty hard on this ol build. A recent grease fire caused quite a bit of warping and caused the hinges to fail. Good news is that with the new hinges she will be back in action.

It’s a 4ft trailer, 46” spring centers 61” hub face, 3500lb axle so 1750s I would assume. I’m thinking now if I was to do it again I would still do a 60” CC but only a 48” WC/FB.

Got her welded out and lifted up finally, but I’m thinking I might be too tall? I like the working height but I’m worried about being top heavy.

What does everyone suggest on the exhaust? Rain cap or a damper? I almost always run the exhaust wide open and control my temp with the intake anyway but the option IS there to choke it down if I need to. I COULD do both but is the damper really necessary?

CC Doors are built and hung so now it’s down to the little stuff

One more down...I’ll save the CC doors for another day.

Copper dampers just because...I’ll bend the tabs down after they are finished.

Getting a little work done today...trying to get the doors finished up!

Was able to work on the build for a few hours today. I was able to get the trailer up enough to be able to move this little guy around...not leaving at that height I just ran out of time again! Also got all of the racks cut so I can throw them together after work one day. I can’t add the last pic fo...

Mine is a little bigger than Mack but mainly just increases the length a little. Ive used up almost every bit of 2 5x10s and part of a 4x8, I should be able to get the doors from the rest of the 4x8, I hope. The 4x8 I already had on hand but the 2 5x10s were $764 total. Thanks guys, haven’t had much...

Got to spend a couple more hours on the build this evening. Insulation and inner walls of the firebox are in as well as all of the angle for the doors. Overall I think it’s comong along pretty well, one of the easiest cookers I have built.

Hey guys, long time no post for me but starting a new build, I figured I better share some pics! Since “Mack” is such a big hit I figured I better go for the same design, just a little bigger. 60x24x24 cook chamber with a 36x24x24 WC. I cut everything I could last night on the plasma table and threw...

7-8 racks of spares? Laying flat? Mine are 24x32 and I can only fit 6 racks of baby backs per rack.

I didn't use any plans on it just kinda figured up what I wanted and went from there. If I was to do it over again I would definitely go with a square tubing (1.5-2") over the rectangle just to make things a bit easier. I'll try to give ya what pics I've got. I think the angle of the drip pan has ch...

Another vouch for dink here! My customers don't have any complaints!!

Gizmo used to have all the measurements maybe he will chime in, I do know that my racks are 24x32 and each fit 6 racks of baby backs just right, pretty sure 6 butts will fit also, I think an average size is about 10x10.

That's right Rod...both offer 36,000 BTUs....I'm not sure how much space that can handle but I know it works really well for mine.

Sorry I missed all the comments guys...mine is welded out completely inside and out...anywhere I passed through the wall is also boxed in so nothing can get to the insulation...if you need any dimensions still just let me know! I had intentions of putting the 18" in this one but Frank was out of sto...

Other ladies eh? Maybe I need to leave her at home! Jk jk.....(don't tell her I said that)

As long as the stars and moon align at the right time I plan on making it. I'll be in VanBuren the following week so I can make this an "on the way" stop. The wife will be with me though...hope that's ok!

How bad are your gaps? On my fire boxes I always run the whole thing out with 6011 (6013 in your case) use a wire wheel to clean all he welds and then I'm going back over with 7018 for a good finish that I can use a flap disk to round off the edges.

16ga?? That will be a dream compared to a normal drum!

Thank you all! I started this one the 14th of April so a little over 3 weeks total on the build...not working full time on it of course....some waiting on steel and parts orders.
