I am really tempted to build something myself though. A charcoal grill that looks like a built in gas grill with a lid.
Was thinking it should have a drawer like charcoal grate that makes topping up and cleaning easier.

I am building myself a Mini GF, but I want to get rid of my Gas Grill and switch back to charcoal instead. UDS is a smoker.
I was wondering if anyone here has built any custom Charcoal grill that are built in, else my other option would be a BGE or similar since I guess you can still grill on that.

Gents, I need to figure out what will work. The wife and I are planning on refurbing our back yard, this includes relocating my dinosaur pool (terrapins) and building a BBQ area that includes some kind of built in Grill and a counter top with a wash hand basin. I don't think I want another Gas grill...

That's what I had in mind. Thanks

Before I put the insulation and skin the outside. Should I treat the inside with any type of rust protection?

Stack, drain and intake done. To seal the thread on the firebox side, would instant gasket work? The stuff used in car engines. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170518/5034a23b120192d1d57271c7435b5394.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170518/b44673ef80070729c6d32ba22a6ccf4e.jpg https://upload...

Uprights? Didn't see those in the plans. Don't see any need for them unless I am missing something.

I only had time to do the chute kerb. Cutting decent 45 deg angles with a grinder is time consuming.

Might do the door kerbs later today if I'm in the mood. Getting hot under the shed.

Yeah I figured that much. Thanks sguiggle.

Welding the thicker stuff got frustrating, I think the welder's thermostat was cutting in as I was getting sputtering after a while, which was making things messy. My max amperage is 140 at 15% duty cycle, but where I am working is already hot, around 28-30C under the shed's roof. Sent from my IRON ...

In retrospect, not the easiest projects to learn welding on.

Speedy recovery

Not yet welded in. Just getting a feel for the fit. Gonna need help fitting it once the chute is on.

Yeah, that's tomorrow's job. Thanks

Guys, when I am at the point of skinning the outside of the smoker, should I plug weld the skin on?

But more work done today. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170507/07d39e4830794bb3d9c45bed6c040e62.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170507/6852c92cbd1eea42dc68ee51d45c7dec.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170507/d44fdd4c9593ea5d7a2bcd634e222f2c.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2017...

I managed to get the legs on this morning. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170504/eecae85382cc89aab66477e684d680a6.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170504/a2b6907b4cea59e7c728b154e9283b97.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170504/6a6e76e3ca2b8418c936b4e82abe4add.jpg Sent from my IRON us...

Are you supposed to clean it? Seriously?! [emoji56][emoji56][emoji56]

Oh ... that didn't cross my mind.

So the CNC'd bits arrived today. Now I can do the legs and firebox.

Got a pic of the grate, made from 12mm plate.

I'll upload pics of the rest as I weld them up.

It's going painfully slow. 3 days of solid work, then 3 weeks waiting for the materials to get cut.

Sent from my IRON using Tapatalk

Bashed the roof in. Also got a weldable coupling for the 2" pipe.
