New guy building RF smoker
Now for the fun part. I want to paint my smoker red with caliper paint. I'm also kicking the idea around about having a guy I know cut out a few things with his water jet machine. I'm a Cardinals fan and thought it be cool to have the cards logo with the two birds like the one on top of this...- hotrod386

I made some progress on the RF plate had to cut it down and widen it some. Wow what a difference using a guide with my plasma cutter makes. later today I'll cut it in half and add angle iron down the middle for a drain trap. Then I'll cut out the lids.- hotrod386

It did ok. I wish I would of spent more time on it to make it more accurate. But hey it worked. 15 degrees at 5 inches apart worked out perfectly. Next I'll be working on cutting out the doors and setting up the RF plate. I like how cracksmoker rolled the triangle. I plan to do the same thing...- hotrod386

This is what I came up with to help mount the legs tomorrow after work. I'll have a center line drawn down the length of the CC. I'll take a piece of angle iron and tack it on the bottom of the CC for the wooded jig to rest. I'll place the legs along the 15 degree miter cut and tack it on. I...- hotrod386

I took smokejumpers advice and welded up the firebox to the cooking chamber after I grinded the football opening a little more for a better fit. I used a large square and placed it along the CC and the FB end cap to get it perfectly square. It worked out great. I still need to grind my welds to...- hotrod386

I ended up taking some scrap pipe I had and using it as a guide for cutting out the football. I tacked the FB end cap up in a few spots so I could grind it flush with the FB. Then I welded it all up and grinded down my welds. I want it to look slick. I took Gary s advice and returned the 3 inch...- hotrod386
