    New smoker new build, need suggestions

    The doors are heavy but I've decided against counter weights.  It will aide in keepin' me from peekin'...  And I want as clean a look as possible.

    Extremely slow build, but I'm determined to get this completed and painted before spring!  Been using it like crazy as it just sat on jack stands on my shop patio.  Finally found a donor trailer and got to mocking it up.  Getting excited to be near the finish line on this thing!

    Fast forward.  Made a little progress over the winter.  Now I'm in a rush to get it functional by APR 27.   The vertical warmer is out of the plan - I gave it to my father in law for a small patio smoker. Here's how the small one came out :

    Got the tank cut out and most of the firebox welded up yesterday.  Managed to get the tank inside the shop and mocked up too Today I finished welding up the firebox and cut out the door and intakes.  Not going to welding it up to the tank until I get the door cut out of it.

    Hey all!  Got a question for the pros...  Are all well tanks galvanized or were any just steel tanks?  I found this gem on craigslist and the guys says he thinks it just steel.  I'd be worried about using a galvanized tank...

    Thanks Jones. Nothing new, I'm contemplating converting this to a proper horizontal reverse flow for the patio so I don't have to fire up a big cooker just for the family and building a larger one for big groups. Although, I think with my newest design I could shut off the larger cooker and use...

    Part of me really wants to make this a small patio horizontal RF for the same reasons... I've used both charcoal and wood.  I did charcoal when I did a Turkey but here's a 2# pork butt over walnut after 5 hours at 220-230.  It holds the temp extremely well.
