Thanks guys!, when I said over engineered I ment heavy industrial look! , I`m thinking about putting a wheel somewhere that doesnt really do anything, so when it`s cooking and someone is watching I`ll give it a couple of turns and wait for the question!, What does that do macca?, I haven`t thought of an answer yet! still thinking on that! , it`s rainning here now so I can work on the cooker and not mow the lawn!

Your right Frank!, but you could be forgiven for doubting it lately, mostly it only disrupts doing drainage at work, at home the shed has a roof so let it rain!!, it`s just getting a bit cramped in there at the moment!
after yesterdays effort I had a nice big rib steak for tea!, even the missus gave it the thumbs up!
today I welded the legs up and attached the firebox to the C/Chamber and put the flanges on the door, happy with what I got done today!, I`m sitting here typing and drinking a nice cold XXXX gold beer or two!
here`s some pic`s from today, I think my welding is getting better, thats a bonus!
it`s funny! when I brought this tank home I needed my engine hoist to lift it, but now that there are some hand holds it`s not that bad to move around, back is a bit sore tho!
and this is how she stands at the moment!, bring on the beer!
Looks hell for stout!
And the firebox looks more than adequate!
Me like!

Fantastic build, thanks for all the pics. How cool it is to have smoker builders from around the world with the same passion. Now it's time to sit back have a cold one, and enjoy the fruits of your labor!!!!
Dino, thanks mate!, still got a fair bit to do on her yet!, but I`m getting there!
Blazer, at the moment it will be iron bark, yellow box and red box all hardwood gum, I might look into some wattle as it is a accasia the same as mosquite or so I believe!.

Well it`s been rainning here for a couple of days now!, so there not much we can do at work, but there is work in the shed I can do!!
I have decided on a name for the smoker, it`s IRON FIRE, thses a pic later on that explanes the name!, I have tacked the chimney damper on and have started doing the baffle plates.
This 5mm steel sure chews through the 1mm s/steel blades!, anyhow heres some pics of my progress, I hope you enjoy them!
the chimney damper, a copy of a great and simple idea!
in the open position
starting to scribe in the baffle plates,
and the reason I decided to call it IRON FIRE!, what do you recon ?
I made it out of horse shoes!, it`s suposed to be flames coming out of the chimney!, it sits above the dampner, so it can still be opened and closed
hopefully the smoke will rise up through the flames and give a good effect!, or do you think I`ve been looking at the arch too much!
