Thanks guys - and rimax, that "organized shop" doesn't prevent me from putting a pair of pliers in my back pocket so I can spend an hour looking for them...LOL

Struggling with stack diameter. I have a 6" pc of aluminum irrigation pipe that would work but at only 16" (Frank's spec.) it isn't even head height on me. How about going with a 36" piece of 4" exhaust pipe 36" long? That would be the same cubicinches volume as the 6 X 16 and it would move the smoke up higher and out of my face... thoughts?

Finally got some time to work on Edgar again so I thought I better post some pics... Sorry about the order but I think you can figure them out...

Internal parts before paint...
On his back and ready to paint the bottom...
Bottom and firebox interior painted - now he needs doors...
Hope to have the "basement" done today so I can start on the second story. The cook chamber will have a bottom seal so they will stack/seal for use or come apart for transport to contests... at least that's the PLAN...

So now it's about time for insulation, skins,, a door, some grate rails, a stack, yada, yada, yada....
I still can't figure out why I'm cutting off the right side of all my posted pics...

Since this rig has to be portable it's made in two halves and the main baffle plate is in the cook chamber up about 6 inches from the main seal. All of what you're looking at is under the main 1/4" baffle plate - I'll foil the top of it and it will catch the drippings...

Frank I answered your question on the minichat but for those reading this thread - the basement is right at 200 pounds complete. The cook chamber is at 104 pounds but still needs an outer skin and door so maybe 150 pounds done...? The baffle plate comes out (74 pounds) and the cast iron grates come out too (15 pounds?) Should be pretty "mover friendly" HA!
