seenred that looks even better than what I had pictured in my head after talking with you on the phone. And is that the firebox its sitting on? gives me a idea of the height of it!
And after looking at civilsmoker pics thinking I could almost get rid of the kettle. Oh lordy the things I can do!
@Brokenhandle you may be right....the possibilities of self enabling for hanging hooks and etc are endless!
Jim
I think the last build pics should be the look on your face when you first see it! That will be priceless! Not to mention if you move you will be the best new neighbor in town... as long as your neighbors aren't vegans lol!

When they get to smelling that TBS and meat cooking I'd have them converted!
Ha that’s why mentioned grilled veggies…. When they come over to complain you open it up and give them a plate with roasted cauliflower steak, some carrots, and a Portabella shroom and the will be your best friends!!! If they do call the police they will arrest the vegans for disturbing your peace……lol.We'll definitely get a "reaction shot" of Jim!
And honestly - Vegans? Who cares what they think?!!
Yeah...either that, or they'll call the police and try to get you arrested for disturbing the peace!

Thanks but you made it a reality! That’s better than how Shirley smokers does it! Jims mind is going to be blown at how that will cook. He could even do pizza in it if he wants!Thanks Brother! Took me most of a day of pondering, scribbling, and measuring before I landed on the final design - but I'm real happy with how it turned out. And all credit to you - I woulda never thought of it without your suggestion.
And I agree - I think this is gonna be a truly multifunction cooker!
You are welcome and a picture can create inspiration! Oh it will cook every thing is posted, Jim is going to be on a learning path and a bunch of featured posts!Now Ryan - you know there ain't no enabling goin' on around here - just happy suggestions!
Lol lots of cool pics of your cooker in action buddy! I'm hoping Jim's new pit can do all those things...
Thanks again guys!

Jim you can keep the kettle as a reminder to how the evolution started!!!seenred that looks even better than what I had pictured in my head after talking with you on the phone. And is that the firebox its sitting on? gives me a idea of the height of it!

You even got me thinking of a slide in Santa Maria frame add in, but the spacing of your racks is such things can just be transferred between shelf’s.

Giggling like a school girl after her first kiss! And the utterance was more along the line of "Holy Chit!". It looks even bigger than I envisioned from the other pics. When it gets to its forever home I'm gonna have to make more friends to use all of it! seenred loving what you are doing man!Im betting you can still hear Jim’s giggles after he saw the last two pics…… only to be followed by his under his breath “what have I done……” utterance….
those two pics visualize my past posts admirations!!!!!

Red... Looking good brother...
Let me make a suggestion on the bracing for the FB door... DO NOT try to weld it all up at once... Heat does strange things to metal... Instead... Just do a few beads and let it cool before doing a couple more... Also.. I don't think that many beads are necessary ....
But carry on and do as you see fit... Looking awesome...
That is sure coming along nice buddy… gonna be one heck of a nice pit! Jim, you are going to have a lot of fun cooking with that my friend!

I am foreseeing a lot of meat being run through that thing! And after looking at the X-Fire of civilsmoker I can see chickens, bacon etc hanging from re-bar from the top rack slides. I'm gonna need to get a solid wood supplier cause there is a gonna be a lot of cooking done!
Thanks Brother...my number one goal is that you're happy with it.

this is your fortune cookie talking to you...... "You are going to be enjoying good smoked meat for a very long time!!!! "I am foreseeing a lot of meat being run through that thing!

Wow buddy, good progress for sure! Damn, wish again I had that talent!
Heck, you don’t need a cart for it… just give Jim a few 2x4’s to prop it up… he’s gonna be carrying that thing around anyway… it’s gonna be his portable smoker for catering!
