This is a little of a slow build as free time is hard to find for me. I have a 60 gallon air compressor tank that I have been wanting to turn into a smoker. I kept tossing different ideas back and forth. I started out thinking I was going to do a SFB Reverse Flow but changed my mind on that. I then decided I would just make it a beefed up UDS since they are so effecient, but I changed my mind on that as well. I think I have finally decided on doing a center firebox, double reverse flow similar to this:

Since I kept changing my mind so much, I started working on the firebox first. This is what I have so far:
Got the sides all welded together. It is 20x20x20
Welded the back on
Slide in for the fire grate...may have these a little too high, not sure yet
Built the air intakes from two old Chevy starter hulls and back plates.
Dropped this one on my pinky breaking the end of it just moments after taking this picture...stupid reflexes
Hopefully I can get the opening cut and get these welded in place tonight.
