    M416 Military Trailer into smoker/grill * Nearly Done*

    Thanks to my neighbor, the smoker build is nearly complete.  Will probably do some grinding and painting tonight or tomorrow.  I think this think is pretty unique.  Troy has some great ideas to finish it off and everything was very affordable.  Let me know what you think.

    Worked on the tank today with my brother and dad.  We got the lid finished.  Used the bullet hinges recommended in other threads, but we may add another in the middle.  What size pipe should I use for the stack?  I was thinking four inch. ...

    Finished putting the axle, fenders, wheels, and tires back on and uprighted it.  Gonna start sandblasting the inside and get it ready to paint.  Also gonna sandblast and paint the wheels.  Picked up a 120 gallon compressor tank for $100.  It is in great shape.  It fits perfectly length wise with...

    Finished prepping the trailer and layed on a first coat of Rustoleum High Heat paint.  Will let it set up a few days.  Put the trailer back together, flip it, and then work on prepping the inside. http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii69/JEMatyas/P1011364.jpg...

    M416 Military Trailer into smoker/grill * Nearly Done*

    Finished sandblasting today.  I have some questions reference to paint.  After washing the sand off and drying I now have a film of surface rust that developed.  Is there a prepwipe or solution that I use prior to paint to take that off?  Also can someone recommend a paint to use.  I imagine...

    Started stripping it down.  Grinder w/ wire wheel and sand blaster.  Hopefully will be welding in a couple weeks. http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii69/JEMatyas/P1011351.jpg http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii69/JEMatyas/P1011349.jpg...

    Here is a preliminary idea.  Just concerned about how the weight will sit on the trailer.  I assume1/8" steel for building material?  Maybe have to put some drop down legs on the back for support when cooking.  Preliminary dimensions for the smoker/cooker are 20" tall x 20" wide x 48" long with...

    M416 Military Trailer into smoker/grill * Nearly Done*

    I acquired a 1/4 ton military trailer and want to build a smoker/grill.  I have never built one and need some design/build suggestions.  I would like to keep the basic look of the trailer as is. My thoughts are to have a smoker/fire box, an area for wood storage, and an area for a large...
