The door on top....as I typed this I had one of those ah ha moments. I was trying to weld it on with the smoker upright. I bet if I laid it on its side it would be a whole lot easier.....[emoji848]

Need some pictures of y’all hinges. I watched franks video on installing them, I feel like I understand it, but I can’t seem to get it right. I hate to admit but these things are whooping my @$$.

Got the bottom, top, and back tacked on. Thinking of using a small fire extinguisher for the smoke stack. Gotta play with that idea a little. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180625/a16e53666937ea745b19f2c681a7474f.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180625/69ec977e18fc7a5a7b6859132624eca1.jpg ...

Currently it’s stalled around 180. So I wrapped it in foil and am finishing it in the oven. I didn’t want the color to get any darker.

Unexpected circumstances delayed progress. But was able to get back at it today. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180624/f6a0010457978974b83a04d6c63966f5.jpg After a little surface rust clean up I was able to get her on wheels and the fire box mounted in place. Hopefully tomorrow brings exterior s...

Until next time. Ready to mount firebox in frame and finish out interior panels.

The truck was out on the pad for pretty much all the work. Just got her backed in when I was able to take some photos.

Loving this idea. Might have to borrow it for this new tank I acquired.

So I get a text from a guy I work with last night that says “Hey bring your truck to work....I got something for you that I am fairly certain will not fit in your car.” Needless to say this morning he pulls up at the fire station with this on his trailer and says “So I figured you could turn this i...

Well.... I hate to say it but we do have a couple things coming up very shortly that will change the Gravity Feed game entirely... My advise?... stay tuned if you are not in a hurry and can wait a few weeks/ couple months, I think you will like what's coming up.... Sorry for the tease :oopssign: .....

Thank you all for the input. Planning on doing the bars for the opening to CC and a removable grate.

So I’ve seen a few guys welding permanent fire grates in place. I had thought about doing it, but wanted to check with the masters before deviation. I was also going to copy another build and weld in some 1/2 bar stock instead of the expanded metal leading into the CC. Any reasons why this may all b...

Zoro. I’ll find the link and post it.

Two things I have to admit I struggle with.

I’ve cut my 1/2 in firebox with an angle grinder and cutting disk. Until I get something better I couldn’t imagine cutting something to fit that tight.

Looks good man.

I meant to ask. Do you guys weld inside and out side of fire box? I beveled both sides before I though to ask.....[emoji51].....I sometimes do then ask....

I actually got a chance to get some work done today. Went ahead and got my firebox cut out https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180522/aee5fea5bb80450902d7642e6f2220f5.jpg Then tacked it all up https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180522/0d8821c727fc40f6cdd16c56e7031a14.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn....

I’ll second that. I called and he picked up on the first few rings. As busy as I know he is he answered my questions and sent me extra info within minutes of our conversation. I told him and I’ll say it here, but you cannot put a price on the information freely given from the guys at smoker builder ...

If any of y’all are in the Birmingham area PM for his contact info.
