Cool looking build and all recycled material is a plus. How's she cook?

I think around the firebox exceeds 300F. You may consider installing a piece of aluminum diamond plate around that area

Looks great, came together very fast

Looks great. I like it

Welcome.

I agree with DT. I recently bought a second bottle because you just can't run out at a good time.

Welcome

If there are no plans available then call Frank and he will make plans based on what you want. The other option is use the calculator on this site and draw up your own plans. Run your numbers pass the guy's on the forum before you start cutting.

Well done, if you ever get tired of having that old drum laying around, I'll take it off your hands

Welcome

In the 70s here this week and less than two hours from Disneyland if Arizona isn't for you. When we have a snowstorm it's usually gone before you wake up.

Welcome. For a first time builder and someone who is not a welder by trade you seem to have done very well. Is it large enough to feed the entire fire house? I think it is. Looks great .

I think you will be fine welding it. The insulation will burn a bit right where the arc hits, but won't hurt anything and won't ever be seen.

Food looks great... I still prefer the steak, but I had a smoked chop a few weeks ago that was amazing.

Welcome, you may not need to insulate your smoker. Explain exactly what you have and what you want it to do. Many guys here are very good at this stuff

I think everyone gave up on finding new paint. I think many of us would like to see new options for high temp paint that does not need to be heated to be cured tho

Looks great

Welcome. Can't wait to see what u build

Looks great.

Job well done. Now for the food

I say a copper color. Add in metal flake for the extra stand out effect

Look at other builds and see what you like. Frank does have some hinges and handles for sale depending on what you wanna do.... build looks good so far

Thanks! Its huge. Already thinking about an uds for normal cooks. This site is not going to be good for my wallet..

I hear ya, I don't look at drums or propane tanks the same since I joined here

I'm standing by until someone comes up with the link to the thread that Frank talks about btu.

Not a bad looking pit. I think the majority of guys don't know about the calculator and are forced to wing it. I'll follow along to see how it comes out
