Stumps clone

[Papas piggy]

[b-cove]Click here : [flash=][/flash][/b-cove]First build from scratch, have to say thank you to everyone on here for your insight. Am new to this sight, had a few issues with the doors didn't realize that I had to 45 the corners until I got started putting things together ]

[Papas piggy]

But all in all am very happy with the way things are turning out,thanks again

Looks good....I agree tho, I hate mitred corners. Even with a cold cut chop saw, my angles are always a bit off. Good thing a wide weld covers it all up!

Nice work!


Making memories.

Starting the fire box today any helpful suggestions would be greatly appreciated

[Papas piggy]

Here's a couple more pics of doors am thinking about adding a cross brace in cc door about the height of where the bottom rack is.

The main thing about any of the GF shoot/FB/ash box is make sure the inside is very evenly fitted. Any lips can cause bridging of charcoal and 1 cold smoker.

Thanks I'll make sure every thing is good

Been working on the charcoal chute and fire box I just have one question, is it okay to weld up the transfer tube before you put in the interior wall or is it easier after? Few more pics

You'll be smoking goodies before you know it, looks great!

I welded mine first, then ground weld down so it would fit through the cook chamber wall.

Thank you the more I've thought about it that's the way it has because it would be a bear trying to weld that in after thanks again for the input.

Anybody built a stumps clone? Just wondering which interior plate goes in first. Thanks all help is appreciated.

[Papas piggy]

This is probably a dumb question but which interior panel do you start with on a stumps clone

[Baker76]

There is a page in the plans that tells you the order. I don't remember what it is off the top of my head.

I had all panels in there and tacked into place before any finishing welding. Official order is, small front plate along bottom, back, bottom, left, right, then roof.

I can't wait to build me one of these.

Thanks guys for all the great feedback. Making a few mistakes here and there but nothing to serious.probably should have done some interior panels first but we'll get it done. Thanks again
