    Stainless steel muffler smoker !

    That was pretty funny JIRodriguez ! Probably true. This coming weekend is a long weekend and the weather is supposed to be beautiful. I'm working as fast as I can to try and get my first smoke going ASAP.

    Stainless steel muffler smoker !

    Stainless steel muffler smoker !

    Stupid question, but ... Do I need a firebox ? I was going to weld a separator between the fire below and the cooking chamber. Do I need this ? The last shelf of the lazy susan is actually a combination drip pan and water pan. I designed it to catch drippings and allow smoke to go around the...
