hey fiveflat! i honestly think that you will be alot more satisfied...or at least i would anyway lol...with the horizontal setup that you have now as opposed to the verticle setup that was your original idea. cant wait to see th final product. are you planning on putting a baffle in there?

I must have missed this thread back when you started it, but you have really got it going on with your smokers!  Keep up the great work.

Nice work. Looked through your build pics. That's what it's all about, making it all your own. I tell ya man, you got some talent doing all that work yourself. I think you struck gold going with the horizontal, but I will say the vertical turned out pretty good.

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!

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.
