Skin job

Working skin on the outside went well. Stuffing with insulation. Putting 12 ga corner trim on. Got to use the new jet break. Lots and lots of welding.

End of the year projects holding up smoker build!

Been away for a couple weeks but been busy.

Few of the projects holding up production of Smoker. Been focused on getting projects done by the end of the school year. Enjoy a little non-smoker eye candy.

Glad to have you aboard! I am current building the same smoker. It is a fun and rewarding build. Behemoth is a understatement.

Good question. The lettering is permanent marker so it should clean off during paint prep. Also, any of the panels with lettering that can be faced in towards insulation will be.

Re: DP GF with cut file.

About the best we had was an oxy/acetylene torch and a tombstone welder. Now my brother (he's got the family fa...

Re: New to smoker Builder.

Out of curiosity, what do you mean by “it pulls hard?” I have not put the big reverse smoker on the scales but she is heavy. I built it with a lot of tongue weight. There is no suspension.
