Have a ? On the plenum never really used a plenum like the looks of them don't understand the function of them but also at same time done want to screw up the draft it will have will this plenum work?? The angle and size of it is it sufficient to make this smoker work pictures are deceiving everything is level and square
couple welds on the smoker see a lot of guys trying to use a flux core wire welder on here and there welds look like chicken pooooo I was fortunate to learn how to use a flux core a long time ago and this little $150 farm store 120v welder puts down a nice bead these pics don't do me and the welder justice damn phone takes crappy pics of you zoom in on the plenum pics you will see an nice flux core weld
Been on a low.., it was a family time weekend, said the wife. so smoker got worked on Saturday morning for 2 hours of welding. no changes other than welded the plenum stack and 75% of rf plate.
Well it is getting really close have a rib cook off this weekend for the town celebration! It will be tested on its maiden voyage.
