Split it in the middle with a solid plate and make two fire box's, one for each half.......two smokers in one!!! You could even make one a reverse flow and the other an offset. Now THAT is funny! But it would work! Might need a Kenworth to move it though =)) I bet even a freightliner would be able ...

People have cut the tank and used part for a firebox or build two smokers from one tank. I say build the larger smoker and a square firebox. The giant smoker is more work to build and more expensive as well. I think if you are running a catering buisness the giant smoker is great advertising with so...

Welcome, what is this build you speak of?

Hello to everyone who is here! I remember that when I looked at the grill I saw such a model, but I remember that I didn’t like the look and went to the classic models. I chose the Weber grill for myself. If I'm not mistaken, I have Original Kettle. This model is a nice combination of size and port...

Very nice Christmas gift. Tons of work went into that build obviously. I Unfortunately have no info to help out.

Just went thru this thread. I definitely won't give you any welding advice. I know some may say it's over welded, but when your welder buddies come over for dinner they will analyze every inch. Can't wait to see the final product

You know it's good when you gotta lock the ribs in a safe

I'll follow along, I also have the free plans, but not ready to start yet. It's worth trying flap discs out for grinding. At first they look like they can't possibly compete with a regular grinding wheel but they may just surprise you.

Don’t know if this is an option or not but i bought my plans before the cut file was available and I have a local coded vessel shop I use at work. I took them the plans and they CNC plasma and water cut all the plate and skins for me. They charge for the steel by the pound. I got everything cut and...

Doesn't he know what this is for? Its not like you are building a hospital. Bbq is important. I bet he cooks on propane

Welcome aboard. Since you have some experience cooking and metal work this will be easy for you. Don't cheap out, build the one you really want. Make sure to use the calculator.

Anyone with that heavy duty of saw horse needs an overhead crane installed They’re not that heavy duty and weigh about 30 lb each. As for the over head crane I’m with you. 😁 It actually wasn’t that bad getting it off the horses. I picked one end and the wife drug out the horse then repeat. All I’ve...

Reminds me of a guy that built a boat in his basement

Nice looking start to a nice grill!

I would like to hear more about that one.

Looks good so far, I'm interested to see the motorized base come to life. Turn down the voltage on the welder, I think you will be ok

With those builds you are hardly a newbie. Welcome

Is it just me or do your wife’s throw a wrench in any free time you think you have to work on your smoker? Knowing I have a project going on do you think she would put a pause on hers so I could finish mine. I’m just venting and love her to death so I guess I’ll always put her first. On top of that...

Well done, looks great. How's it cook?

Looks good....

Kinda funny how we want bark, but some think it's burnt. Same issue I have trying to serve medium rare prime rib to certain family members. When they tell me it's raw.
I think mcboom is onto something with the above comment. Serve the customers a few beers first.

I think two stacks encourages the smoke to go both directions. Keeps the meat consistent left to right.

Absolutely beautiful. It's one of a kind and as absolutely stunning. Well done.

Sounds like you are over qualified for this build. Having a budy that builds tanks is a bonus as well. When changing the size of the tube just remember to increase size of fire box, stack. And throat to match. I'll be watching for all the pictures you are about to post.

I seem to recall that everybody has a hoist, forklift or tractor at their disposal so weight isn’t a factor.

Everyone, except me, that is!

I don't have any of the above. I may buy a hoist just to put the legs on my mini.

Paint the tank in real tree camo, she won't ever see it again.
