Some months ago I said hello on the intro thread. Read a lot, looked at many of your builds. Two months or so ago I started buying materials. A month or so I started working. Here are a few pictures of the progress. Keep in mind guys, this is my first build and first BIG welding project.
I used the calculator. it is a 48" long x 20" dia x 1/2" steel pipe cook chamber. Fire box is 16" long (same material. Smoke stack will be 4" dia shed 40 steel pipe. The big task this week is to get the heavy duty casters on the base, a 'hook' welded on top so that I can use a hoist to get this beast upright! More pictures to come. What I have learned so far is that 1/2" thick pipe doesn't like to be cut.
