Hello newbie here

Post by james » December 8th, 2013, 8:32 pm

Hi every one. I started building a smoker two weeks ago. I got some good advise off of here, so I thought I would post some pics, and get some feedback. I'll probably have some questions. Well maybe a lot of questions. Here is the catch, I'm not building 1, I'm building 4 at the same time, and I've have never built one before. I'm going to build 5 ft. smoker on a trailer. I started with a pipe 30in by 20ft 1/4in thick. Post more pics for feedback as I go.

WOW. Either you will have 4X success or 4X failure. Since you are on this site, my money is on 4X success.

BBQ is just smoke and beers!
Usually more beers than smoke.

Thanks for all the comments! I'm building these 4 all the same. 1 question I have is, do I post the pics of the progress here or on a different page, because this is the newbie intro page?
