Hi, new guy here.

I'm here to learn and hopefully help people when i document my build.  I plan on sharing my victories and failures so hopefully people will learn from a new guys mistakes.

I am into developing my outdoor living space.  What started out as a small addition to a patio turned into a multi level patio with outdoor fireplace and pizza/bread oven.  The next phase will be to add a double barel horizonal smoker.

My dream for the patio was to make it entirely out of pavers, stone, and stainless steel so that it is maintenance free.

I thought myself to TIG weld the stainless steel railing over the upper patio.  That led to welding the stainless roof of the pizza oven.  Next is to make a stainless double smoker.  It will cost more upfront, but I won't have to build a new one every five years because of rusting.

I am in Ohio, so lots of cold winters and rainy summers.  That is the reason for the stainless.  Below is a pict of the fireplace and pizza oven.  Next year I plan on facing everything with stone, so it is still somewhat unfinished, but functional.  The smoker will be placed to the left of the pizza oven. There isn't a scale in the photo, so it's kinda hard to tell, but the fireplace is about 4 feet wide.



Regards,

Caspian

We love to see pictures of what you are cooking (or what we call q-views here at SMF).  To "upload the q-views" just follow the directions here and it will be easier. If you are using a cell phone, an IPad or a kindle, go to the main SMF page and click the Mobile button. Will make the uploads a bit faster too.

If you didn't read the "Terms of Service" notes.....please do.  There are a few things that everyone should know about those pesky little rules before plunging into the forums and some guidelines of how to interact within the forums. Off site links are not allowed here at SMF per TulsaJeff. Not that you have done anything wrong....just a little bit of FYI for new members!

If you need any help roaming around the forums....just holler!  Happy to help out!
