Congratulations.... that'll be a fine smoker.

If I am measuring correctly it is enough to almost make 4 mini fire boxes....
Now you are just being greedy... how many smokers does one man need, wait that's a stupid question.

Im always looking for a deal....while cruising the good old Craigslist this morning I came across a steel fabricator going out of business. His price on sheets.... 0.25 per pound. I’m picking up some 1/4 for 200 less then retail. My question to you all is on the thinner stuff. I am obviously building the Mini GF and I know the plans call for 16G. This guy had some 14G at a killer deal and I didn’t know if that was too thin for at least the interior walls?
I actually got a chance to get some work done today. Went ahead and got my firebox cut out
Then tacked it all up
I had my Hobart Handler 140 so I’ll finish it out when I get home with the old Lincoln Buzzbox.
Ordered all my extras from the guys at smoker builder, got the rest of my steel ready for pickup Thursday, and set up a new account with a local weld shop which should save me some money on gas. Btw I got all this done well at the Fire Station today....which technically means I was being paid to build a smoker....
I meant to ask. Do you guys weld inside and out side of fire box? I beveled both sides before I though to ask.....[emoji51].....I sometimes do then ask....
This is where it gets interesting. Putting all those bits of steel together in a strategic order so it resembles a smoker....
