    PLANNING FIRST BUILD ( PICS NOW INCLUDED )

    I got a little time to work on the smoker the last couple nights.  I got the two side intakes installed on the firebox and got the firebox door frame built.  I used C-channel to frame the door and I am ordering some 7/8" rope gasket for it. Pictures were not good I will try to take a few more.

    RF Smoker Planning (and the Build)

    SMOKER LOOKS GREAT.  YOU HAVE REALLY KNOCKED IT OUT PRETTY FAST.  I STARTED MINE ABOUT THE SAME TIME AND I HAVE A LONG WAY TO GO YET. I HAVE A SISTER THAT LIVES NEAR YOU.  I LOVE TO VISIT HER.  GREAT WEATHER, PEOPLE, AND MOST OF ALL GREAT FOOD.

    PLANNING FIRST BUILD ( PICS NOW INCLUDED )

    I got the idea for the door flanges from a couple other guys on here.  Worked great, hardly any warping.  The steel handle is not staying,  I am thinking about a small wood baseball bat or something for the handle.  I am still going to have to get some clamps to hold the door shut tight.

    PLANNING FIRST BUILD ( PICS NOW INCLUDED )

    I got a few more things finished up tonight.  I do not have the steel for the RF plate yet so i think i may start on the fire box door next.  I have really been putting off these doors.  I think that they are going to be a real pain to get done.

    PLANNING FIRST BUILD ( PICS NOW INCLUDED )

    I am almost ready to start on my RF plate and have a few questions. How thick does it need to be? Should I take the smoker outside and burn it out good before starting on the RF plate?  I have not built a fire in it yet. Can I weld the RF plate to the top of the fire box or is it better to...

    SORRY I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND TIME TO CHECK IN LATELY.  I HAVE BEEN SUPER BUSY AND HAD TO BUY A NEW WELDER.  MY BROTHER MOVED AND TOOK HIS WELDER WITH HIM. I BOUGHT A MILLER 211.  THIS WELDER IS AMAZING.  I HAVE NEVER USED A BRAND NEW WELDER. I GOT THE DOOR FLANGES ALL WELDED UP. ...
