    First Smoker... building a small patio RF "Fat Boy"

    Looks like Fridays are going to be work days... slow going but at least its moving. So plan for tomorrow is to get it split in half and extended, endcaps on, and then start on the RF plate of FB... just depends on how many interruptions there are... Apparently me working on my smoker build...

    First Smoker... building a small patio RF "Fat Boy"

    Definitely DoodleQ... My neighbor has a small shop with the capabilities but it is a lot easier when you have an actual steel shop machinery to use... as long as you don't mind working around schedules and randomly being pulled back into work.

    First Smoker... building a small patio RF "Fat Boy"

    Well, doesn't seem like much but we got a little bit done at least. Between finding and digging the stuff out of the yard and having to run into the office a few times to take care of some things, we have the basic 20" dia. 1/2" thick pipe cut to size, door notch cut out to frame, and reinforced...

    First Smoker... building a small patio RF "Fat Boy"

    Well it's finally time! We've been absolutely swamped at work and with a 2 year old and 6 month old at home with busy weekends, it's been hard to find a starting point but this Friday is looking awfully promising (as long as the weather doesn't get worse and nothing pops up at work). Got a great...

    120 gallon RF build....***UPDATE*** patio to the trailer

    Looks great man... can't wait to see some Q!! I agree with the additions that you've said. I think a possible other addition to consider would be a counter-weight if you're having issues opening the door. On a side note... I would think the larger wheels should have been on the FB end for a...

    My first build fixing to get started....

    Looking good so far Jim! Yes the price of steel is going up (even though 1/4" is surprisingly cheaper right now) but I'm guessing what you are paying for is the labor for that shop to handle and cut it. If you had our shop do the same it probably would have cost you less or possibly closer to...

    First Reverse Flow Build! (Patio)

    It's looking real good... lot of interesting ideas. I really like the clean look and placement of your chimney stack coming out of the smoker.

    First Smoker... building a small patio RF "Fat Boy"

    Well I was hoping to have started by the end of the year but that didn't happen. It also turns out that while the steel yard was being cleaned up, my piece of 20" pipe somehow got scrapped...      Its not that big of a deal cause we have plenty of scrap 20" pipe I can cut it out of but now its...
