I am currently finishing a home built project and thought I would post the progress from start to present. Set up us: 275 gallon tank smoker pit with gull wing doors and rear drafted fire pit. I will be using a sheet metal drafting method to evenly heat and smoke the box. Front will house 2/ 810 cu. offset smokers mounted on 2X3 box beams for easy on easy off method. I am also thinking of mounting one of those hitch mount cargo baskets below the rear overhang on a swing out system for setting steamer pots for corn or crabs and such. Here are some shot from start to now as seen in the second pic.



1st coat of heat treated and primer went on yesterday, I still need to mount my front offset's and build my cooking grates. I have been working on this most of the winter when time and budget permitted. Word of advice, be ready to spend major cash on this type of project as metal is not cheap. Thanks for looking.
 
I have actually done the second burn this weekend and added ducting in the food chamber to spread the heat evenly. I have gotten a bit further to completion and will add more pics this week.
 
looks like its coming alone nicely

Almost complete. Just need to add the other grill up front and finish minor items. It is a bit further than the pics show but I cannot find a more up to date one  
 
It's not as sexy as the ones you can buy, but I have pride that I built it with my hands. I have always wanted to do one and learned a ton while doing it. May do another in the future using my lessons learned. Thanks for the compliment
