I know that is a lot of work, but it is going to be great!

Got the strap on the door stitched and hinges installed. The trailer frame is done. Got the door frame assy installed and I am ready to fill the frame with plates and insulate it.

I got a lot done on the chamber. It is about ready to be insulated and the outer skin welded on.

Nice work!!

I bent the back frame member of the trailer the other day when using the backhoe to set the firebox. I got all the weight on that back member. Well long story short I cut it out and redesigned my cross members and doubled up the rear member and added two more so it should be much better now. Better to have the problem now then when it's welded down and on the way back from paint!!! Sorry no pics... Unusual for me. I guess since there are no pics my design flaw never happened!!!

I got the smoker welded to the repaired trailer. The inner part of the FB is done. I am getting sick of doing everything twice. A fully insulated smoker better be worth it. I hope to get it to powder coat early next week.

Question. I am thinking about using the foam insulation board between 1/8 plate for the warming cabinet. I want to keep it an inch thick. Is this a bad idea? Should I just use the roxul?

Regular foam will melt. Could you use the ridgid Roxul board? I beleive someone said it's available in several thicknesses…

The chamber is close to being done. Finishing the skin makes it look way different.

Wow, that thing is looking pretty impressive.

I love this build. Can't wait to see how it performs.

onesquin · Post by **onesquin** » August 2nd, 2013, 11:53 pm

Thanks guys. I can't wait either.

I got the FB door ready for skilled welding. It will have two gaskets. I got the outer FB skin done too.

onesquin · Post by **onesquin** » August 2nd, 2013, 11:57 pm

I start the warming cab tomorrow. It will have a baffle plate and one inch drain for easy cleaning.
