Got both of these fired up and seasoned today. Ran smoker for about 3 hours. Took 45 minutes to get up to 250 degrees. Held temp great. Firebox end ran 10 to 12 degrees cooler than opposite end. Air flow seemed to be good. Ran both lower dampers about 1/4 open and top damper in door 1/2 open...
Finally got it painted. Made the stainless shelf under the cc doors. Got tstats put on. Drain valve. Set it on the trailer and ready to weld it on. After tomorrow should have it all welded up. Plan next weekend to build a fire in both and season them.
Had time today to trim out the doors. Get door handles made and welded on. Weld on threadolet for Tstats and half round guards. Got 2” drain installed. Ready to sand off old paint and get ready to make it black.
Made the stainless exhaust and damper. Made plenum on CC and got the stack welded on. Next is trimming out the doors. Haven’t had any spare time work on it. Hopefully can work on it the next two weekends.
Been awhile but finally got a weekend to work on grill. Charcoal racks in. Rails for food racks in. Food racks made. Ready to start on door seal straps, door handles and exhaust stack.
Finally got some time to work on grill. Patched the valves holes. Got the door braces made and welded on. Door hindges welded on. Cut out doors. Made intake air damper boxes. Fit boxes to tank and cut out holes.
Have not had much time to work on the grill. Did get the valves and gauges removed from the top of tank, openings cut out for air inlets on both ends and pieces cut out to make inlet damper boxes. Hope to get time this weekend to do some work.

Got the smoker fitted and welded in the trailer today. Touched up the paint. I think this part of this build is ready to cook. Now I’m ready to start on the grill that will go next to the smoker.
