    Another new guy build, with questions

    I changed my patio build to a trailer build, due to an old free trailer I got. I also started my buld thread at http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/t/125439/100-gallon-silent-hunter-build-lots-of-pics

    My first smoker build

    Looks good! These build's are very time consuming.

    100 gallon Silent Hunter build (lots of pics)

    Here's some pics to get up to date. First I cut the spring mounts off the HF trailer and welded them to the new trailer. I also used the trailer as my saw horses to cut my 1/4 plate for the fire box. Tacked the corners and made sure it was all square. Then the non-stop welding. Then...

    So, I have got some work on my fire box done. I will post pics later. Is the 1/8" flat ok to use around the fire box door?

    100 gallon Silent Hunter build (lots of pics)

    I do like the idea of not having all the heat conduction to the frame. But I was afraid of that heavy of a box not being supported down low. I may use a couple connectors like you did, for support. I screwed up when I picked yp my steel. I got 1" instead of 1.5" flat for the door straps. Boom...

    100 gallon Silent Hunter build (lots of pics)

    I am thinking of welding the fire box to the rear of my trailer. Is this a bad idea? or normal? I could use bolts to secure it. Or should I just let it free hang? I also thought about making the whole smoker bolt on to the trailer, but can not think of why I would need to ever take it off. it is...

    100 gallon Silent Hunter build (lots of pics)

    This was my 3rd partial day to work on my smoker. I got up and headed down to pick up the steel that I need. Which sucks because I live in the mountians,  and the steel shop is around 80 miles one way. I was able when I got home to build my trailer. I used 40' of 2x3x.188" to build it, with...
