    24 inch offset smoker build

    IMO, 3/16" is the perfect wall thickness. It is strong enough to provide it's own structural integrity, yet light enough to afford and work with.

    Heat advice.

    3/8" is thick, but it is not the thickest thing I've ever seen. The other side of your problem.... once it gets hot, it will stay hot. Me, I would have been scared of proceeding as far as you have without capping the ends. You need that diaphragm sometimes to keep that pipe round. It'll egg...

    Where Do You Guys Buy Expanded Metal?

    Mcnichols. Google them. You'll have to call to get a price, but I cannot imagine how Grainger can compete with them. Or.... call a local steel fabricator and ask them for a price to sell you what you want. If he says "I don't sell raw material.", then just ask him where he buys it.

    Calling all welders, Looking for a machine!

    Man, there is not a lot of love here for Harbor Freight welders. I've been a member on here for about 3 hours, and that's all I keep seeing when someone asks about which welder to buy. Well, I bought one on August 29th... a Chicago Electric 170 amp MIG/Fluxcore welder. It does exactly what...

    I've been in the steel fabrication business for years at every level. I recently bought that HF 170 amp fluxcore welder to build a smoker and trailer, and I can tell you that, despite it's 20% duty cycle, it will handle anything you are doing at home. I built the trailer out of Tube Steel...
