@dirtytires, how does the shelf work? I dont see any supports/mechanisms in the picture.

Finally, a progress update! my MIG welder crapped out on me, and for the life of me I could fix it. I ended up selling it for $100 as parts. Not bad since I only spend $150 on it to start with. So I am at my dads place now, using his woodworking shop, as he has a stick welder he inherited from his d...

Dirty jokes aside, got a question about racks. Posted in another thread, but starting a new thread to not hijack.

why do you build your racks with the angle down and expanded welded underneath?

I make mine the same, but flip it over, and I can use the lip for handle.

Question to the community, not specific to your build... why do you build your racks with the angle down and expanded welded underneath?

Ya, I get, that’s what I thought. Thanks.

When you say “back” on fenders, you mean there is a piece of steel plate along the trailer, or like a mud flap hanging behind the tire?

Smoker.JPG Here is my Drawing. You can tell I work in Finance as I drew it in Excel, lol. Key Dimensions: CC Length 83" FB Length 24" (Its 28x28x24) Total Trailer 98" or 8' 2" Ground Clearance 12" Grate Height 50" (This seems high...) Axle is 35" On centre from the left side. I am planning a remova...

Well I guess I could do that, it just puts the firebox closer to the axle and wheels. What is the minimum clearance I need from firebox to rubber tires?

My first question to the community: The tank has a few ports that I needed to grind off from the old air connections. There is only one section of the tank that is smooth, so I would like to use that for the door. If I reuse one of the existing holes for the Drain, it will put it about 8" from the f...

I’m calling it a 240 gallon -ish reverseflow hybrid patio trailer. I had a 150gal reverseflow trailer I built when I was doing comps, but since having our son 4 yrs ago, it has only left my yard once. So I decided to build a patio smoker. But I didn’t want a small one, and may want to bring it to fr...

Sorry I asked!

Just kidding. It sounds like a great build and that you have it planned out well. I have to admit, that is one heck of a patio model...makes me feel a bit under-equipped.

Look forward to watching your build.

Shhh, dont tell my wife!

Hi guys,

Been creeping around for about 6 months now, finally registered and will begin my build soon.

I am from Ontario (go to Detroit and keep on driving), so forgive me if I speak in metric sometimes

But it's ok, because we got great BBQ cooked over maple, and REAL beer too, eh!
