    Thank you! Yes, today the grate gets a handle and the the baffle and tuning plates will go in. After that I just need to add the handles and gauges.

    More progress. I welded in the rails and made the grate. I wish the cooking chamber opening was lower. If I had a way to curve 10 gauge steel I would extend it further down to drop the grate lower.

    Early Brinkmann Pitmaster Deluxe restoration and modifications

    Finally got the hot end bolt back up. I straighted both mating surfaces up and tacked it in place, then welded a bead all the way around. I also pulled the bolts out and welded that up as well. That should take care of the leaks of that end. It's been super humid and wet here in DFW, and I...

    That's awesome! Lol @ "for outdoor use only." I'm hoping this smoker will be more trustworthy for longer smokes than my cheap bullet smoker. I figure if I do everything within my power to insure it's sealed I'll have a better shot.

    I made some more progress today. I made a charcoal box for the hot end. Finished sealing the leaky door on the hot end, removed all hardware/hinges. Fitment between the two boxes is garbage. I removed the hot end to flatten out the warping so I can weld them together. More misc. hole...

    Well I'm not opposed to making one, just curious if it has a discernable affect on the performance. I dig your smoker, especially the gauge shrouds. That's a nice touch.

    I see. I'm tempted to ask why? Is there a particular reason to create a separate box off the main cooking chamber?

    Early Brinkmann Pitmaster Deluxe restoration and modifications

    I will be asking about the plenum. I didn't have much time today, but cleaned up some sloppy metal brake work and welded up more holes. Tomorrow I will be unbolting the firebox, cleaning up the mating surfaces, unwarping the metal, and welding the seams to eliminate any leaks. After...
