The wife and I really love good food. We've done everything from cold-smoking, hot-smoking to grilling. We've managed doing all this on an old walmart brand char-broil offset.
Well it's time for that to change. I've been a member of this site for maybe 3 months, but have lurked far longer. (About how long this build took me as well)
Finally got the courage to try and build my own smoker, and figured if i'm gonna do this, I may as well go all out and bigger. (at least what I consider big)
The wife has given me a lot of motivation and a little flexibility on cash to build this. (aprox $500 total, including tools, grinding pads, cutoff wheels and the metal)
I'm sure I've made some mistakes along the way, learning to weld and all that. But it's pretty solid, considering I only had a welder and angle grinder to work with. I used the calulator at http://www.feldoncentral.com/bbqcalculator.html religiously except went bigger on the firebox. (I live in Idaho)
My brother-in-law volunteers to start the project off :)
I'm the one in the blue shirt, And my first mistake was thinking door latches would work, Those have been replaced.
