Looks good! It look similar in size as the one I've build.

Good luck!

Do it like this indeed!
I misinterpreted the instructions (I think) and my rain is dripping on the grates..

Thanks for the reactions. Indeed, next time i would probably cut on about the 12 oclock thing. But when doing my research (also checked some information from Franklin) it was advised to do it lower then 12 oclock. But they keep them covered probably. I think I'm going to make a rail to divert the fl...

One question I have..
How do you prevent rain to flow into the CC? I have it stored outside and noticed that the rain drips in on the grate.

Looks great! As far as the wood, I agree splints work better. About the size of your fist is a good rule of thumb. You may want to make a fire basket so you don’t have to try to control how the wood lands on the rack. jm2cw Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I was thinking about larger logs. (more ...

I have attached the firebox. Also placed new iron on the grids. (think this will work better) I was really happy with the gap between the firebox & CC. Only thing is that I cannot weld upside down so I need to check if somebody can lift it off and then turn it upside down. https://i.imgur.com/dkjmvP...

If the water pans block the flow They can be removed.

I think with the door is good how it is now. I will add some sealing to it to make sure it is airtight.

I have tried to bend the door a little bit, started with it still attached but I have removed it and put it on the floor. I'm not sure if I have really bend to door (it was though) but after re-attaching the door and welding the hinges again it looks like there are less gaps. https://i.imgur.com/fVc...

Thanks for the advise!

Trailer tongue will not be extended. With the current set up I haven't touched the construction part of the trailer. (would like to keep it that way)

Hope to get some time this weekend for bending the door, will keep you informed.

If any has suggestions/tips.. Please let me know!

I'm doubting how to bend the door a bit. Think I need to remove it completely. Tried it with straps but they snapped due to the sharp edges.
Saw some tips with chains etc. The gap is small, about 5 mm.

Here are some overview pictures. Thing still to do: Attach the firebox Bend the door a little bit because it doesn't fully close. Make some counter weighs Attached new grate to the frames. https://i.imgur.com/fZbo2mb.jpg https://i.imgur.com/ywqus7K.jpg https://i.imgur.com/G51s27s.jpg https://i.imgur...

Thanks!

I can easily make the opening higher. (think I'm going to do that)

I will leave the exhaust as is. If it doesn't work I can extend or replace it.

Thanks for the tips! If you've got any more..!

I have announced the built of a 250 gallon offset smoker. Bought it for 50 euro and the goal for the smoker was to make it a real low budget built. Almost everything is bought second hand. I have started the build but I have q question that came up. First some pictures from the steps till now. (excu...

Thanks for the feedback!
I will keep my firebox size. I think it will be sufficient.

Complete length is about 86 and diameter is 31.5.
The two end are both 8 long.

I have just introduced myself and already have some questions. I have filled in the calculator to calculate the volume of the propane tank I've got and it came with a volume of 280 gallon. http://planetcalc.com/5185/ If I compare the dimensions with some specification I've found on the internet it "...
