Hi Folks,
I do not know how to weld and I had a very bad experience ordering a custom smoke that required shipping. The smoker was pretty much destroyed during shipping. I buddy suggested contact a steel fabricator more local. Now I need to have blue prints to show these local fabricators in order for them to build something.
I want a Vertical smoker with an offset box on wheels. I'm think the CC should be about 36"W x 28"D x 60" H Then the fire box and a lower frame that is about 12" - 18" high. I don't know how to calculate how big the fire box should be based on the size of the CC. I'm sure there are calculations or good guesses. I'm sure there are many other questions I need to know the answer to. That is why I thought, If I could get my hands on a set of plans (Will to buy them) it would help. Also by buying local, I can get it delivered for a small fraction of the cost I was paying to get it sent from several states away. That extra money I can put into the price of the smoker and get a bigger unit.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. If this doesn't work, I'll probably go back to the guy that built my first one. He was great. Only the shipping was a problem.
Thanks for reading my thread. I hope to see back soon.
Thanks again.
