    Well, Just an update, After getting a good start I have slowed down. Got busy with Christmas and work and the mother in law in town that I haven't really had much time to get back to the smoker. But I went by the Fabricator today and my firebox is finished and I will be picking it up on...

    Trailer material help

    Dave..Thanks...I am not so much worried about the balance I really don't think it will be an issue. I was more concerned about the structural integrity of the trailer if what was sitting on the tongue was more than 300 lbs. Granted, in my case the load will not be directly on the tongue of the...

    Trailer material help

    So I have a question, I am getting ready to add my firebox to my trailer, I designed it to put the FB near the tongue end of the trailer and not the rear end. After taking a look at the trailer it says that it has a tongue rating of 300 lbs. Is this the max load on the tongue? Is it a matter of...

    So here is my solution. 10ft piece of strut tacked on one end then pulled into other end and tacked. This is pretty straight! Gonne throw a support in the center and hopefully that will hold. We will see!

    Jck, They were 1/8in and now that you say that I think that might have been the issue because I could not see one that penetrated the other side. Dave, I actually did put the ribs on before the door was cut, I had only cut the top seam. But I will try what you have recommended. I understand how...

    Thanks Dave, I did cut the ribs with the curve of the tank, So I thought. I will probably cut them off and modify them. Do you have a method for getting an accurate curve? I did grind the rust off, I only ground off the spots where I welded under the trim, maybe I didn't get it good enough.

    Been working the past couple days on the smoker, I feel like I got quite a bit done. I have learned a couple things, 1. metal work takes a lot longer than I thought. 2. Metal Is not wood (Duh right!) I just mean the way metal acts and reacts is crazy and confusing, and frustrating. 3. Welding is...
