    You'll likely have to do some creative wiring as the welder might have a different plug than what your dryer outlet is.

    Gotcha...know that all the welders want 50A...but all I can say is that I welded all day on dual 30A and never popped once... Looks like a good start...!

    First....welcome! I did my build with an angle grinder and cutoff wheels. It's long and painful...but works. I did all of my cuts free hand, but definitely followed lines I drew using straight edges/etc. No way I'd trust or try eyeballing. As for the welder...have a harbor freight near you...

    My first attempt at a build.

    Good point...never thought of that.  I had a full 4x8 sheet so easily could have done it.

    Cleaning...

    Hey gang....I just finished building my first offset stick burner.  Had my first cook on her this past weekend and everything was great.  My question to yall is how you go about cleaning larger smokers.  My WSM was of course easy...I'd just empty/dry the water pan, and then burn off the cooking...
