You will have to keep the bears away from your smoker now. Lol

Looks like the chook is ready to be cooked lol

First cook done, thought i would start of easy and just smoke 2 chickens. The smoker was a amazing all worked sweet. Chickens smoked with cherry wood, glazed with maple syrup and i used Oakridge Pork and Chicken rub. Cooked for just over 3 hours holding temps between 250 and 300 degrees, the...

All finished, i did a burn in on the weekend and it worked well. Manage to get up to 320 degrees no problems at all. Just a slight problem with top of FB  bowing so could not close door properly, it will be a easy fix, will do the weekend and will do it's first cook just planning on smoking a...

Welded FB to CC today, also made some changes. I took out the center legs of the CC and put 4 legs on the Fb. Also put in extra strength for the top of FB , should not move around with the heat. Stainless steel does not like to much direct heat, should be strong enough. Getting closer to the...

Update, did a trail fit with FB to CC, very happy will start welding together over the next few days.

Without the wood shelf you can Limbo dance under this smoker LOL

Some updated pics.

It is 5mm Metric not sure what that is in Imperial. I think it is 13/64

I would not want to pay for the hours i have spent making this, as for how long it is many hours, i would guess that i have done around 30 to 40 hours so far. Yes stainless is a bit harder to work with when you start welding things move a bit, so you have to be extra careful.

So far it has cost me $500 in materials , once cooking chamber is done then will get the FB laser cut which will probably cost another $300 to $400. I am lucky i have access to all equipment to make my build easier.

Update, welded in BP today and folded all my angles for my grills.

The stack.

Yeah just putting it out there to make sure i am doing this right. I hate doing rework.
