I know it has been a long time coming, but here we go. Me and my friend, Lex, have spent the last few weeks building the smoker in the Solid Works 3D program. Once we were happy with everything, we sent the file to the steel shop for laser cutting. It took them about a week and we finally got it back Saturday. We were pleasantly surprised to find that they had actually tacked the CC an FB together for us. The cuts were clean and smooth and exactly the right size and placement. I know I said I was going to build it out of a tank, but it turns out that using the rolled steel would actually save me money in the long run. All of the openings, even the drain whole were laser cut for us. They even cut out the door and rolled it to match the CC. The CC is 60" x 30" and the FB is 26" square. I know some of you have been waiting a while to see this and I'm sorry to keep you waiting. I hope you enjoy it and that it will be worth the wait!
