    My first RF build. 80 gallon air tank.

    Priced the steel for my FB today. Unfortunately the weather has all but halted my work so I threw some high temp paint on to help prevent rusting until work picks up and I have some extra cash.

    This is the crooked handle.

    Yeah I know. I wasn't going to but the more I looked at it the more crazy it made me. I realized after I posted that I posted the pic with the handle fixed. It was about 1/2" high on left.

    Starting a wood fire

    I just switched to straight stick burner. Used charcoal for a while. It seems a little harder but I'm also using a COS right now. I do notice a difference in the meat. Not huge, but it's there.

    Starting a wood fire

    $13 for the burner, $16 for the brass fittings. Best money I've spent.

    My first RF build. 80 gallon air tank.

    When I welded it I pinched the back together enough for it to pinch it. I really like the way the hinges look. They came with bolts but I bought a 1/2" rod as a guide and wound up liking the way it looked. The link for the hinges is below. http://www.katbbqsmokers.com/customparts/

    Yeah, 10 years without welding really shows.

    Hinges came in. Very pleased with them. Bending the cc door seals. Hopefully get to start welding tomorrow.

    I centered it between the 2 planned grates. I may cut it bigger and do that though. Good looking smoker

    Will have 744sqin of cooking grate on lower rack. Haven't decided on placement of top rack yet. I have a plenum design in mind for my exhaust stack and have to figure out how the air will flow through before deciding where that rack should go.

    No joke. Some of these guys blow me away with their CAD drawings. I wish I knew how to do that. All my drawings are in my head. Hopefully this will be done before summer or at least my bday in august. I will continue updating as it goes along.

    New 120 Gallon Build and Grate Question

    I must be the only person here that's not an engineer. Lol. That draft looks awesome.

    New 120 Gallon Build and Grate Question

    How do you feel about the plenum? Did it improve the heat on the FB corners of the cooking grate? I work in HVAC and am planning on a plenum that's about 18"w x 3-4"t that reduces to my 6" stack. By HVAC standards that would improve overall flow across the grate.
