Thanks to all for the compliments. This smoker was made out of pieces that were laying around the yard and we wanted to include some of the nostalgia that goes along with it. The spoke for the handle came from an old wagon wheel that was a farm wagon used by Roper’s grandfather. The wheels were off an old truck chassis and the fire box was made out of an old water tank that came from the original farm. There’s still plenty of work to make it completed. It needs an air inlet on the FB opposite the door, a latch on the FB door, a shelf across the front, the wheels on the wagon need to be serviced and a handle built to pull it around. We made it so you can just put lit charcoal on the BP and use it as a regular grill which we did last Sunday and sizzled up some spectacular prime rib steaks!
Cheers
