Some of you have probably seen some of the pictures since I've been asking random questions on other subforms here. But nothing much to say, just hear some pics in case anybody is doing some research in the future and looking for ideas. 120 gallon tank, 24x27- Firebox

I appreciate it..... it's been alot of work. Had I had the funds, in a way would have been cheaper to purchase a quality offset. In the sense that it cost me about $1000 in materials and nearly a solid month of working on it almost daily. But I'm happy now that it's finished and nearly all the daily cuts, burns, and chunks of metal to the face have stopped....

Man that's an awesome lookin smoker. How did it cook?

 

[JLeonard]

Man that is beautiful. Yeah you could have bought one....But to be able to sit back, drink a beer, feed it wood and think..."I did that!" makes it all the better.

Sweeet!
You have some unique features in that build.
You may need another vent above the door to drive more air thru the cook chamber.

... able to sit back, drink a beverage, feed it wood and think "this was custom built for me" makes it all the better?

 

[beerbeer95648]

Thanks all! I really appreciate the kind words.

More of a "I did that" feeling......You know kinda like eating a burger that you cooked vs a McDonalds.......And yeah, a "custom built for me" feeling can also feel like that. What are you hinting at?

Awesome build. I was thinking of doing something for leveling if cooking on uneven ground. I wasn’t sure how to go about it but I just might have to barrow ur idea.
