    First Build - Offset, 20" steel pipe.

    I put this thing together enough to get an initial 'burn' going.  I went to 300 fairly quickly.  I noticed some leaks on the door so I'll cut those flanges off and try again.  I am content with this 'first build,'  'first serious welding project.'  I think it'll work.  Not pretty, but it'll work.

    Guys, As I approach the (sort of) finish line, I am considering putting channel up for a second cook grate above the main grate.  Any suggestions as far as spacing?  I was thinking I'd just split the difference...probably will be about 5" Jon

    I am actually in the home stretch.  Picked up a piece of steel for tuning plates.  Have installed a larger firebox intake 'damper,' and a second, smaller (upper) intake damper.  Out of town for a week, then I hope to finish the cook grate, clean it good, and run it through an initial...

    I did use Felton's calculator.  Some of the 'tinkering' I mentioned is another intake, and a smaller one up higher on the firebox.

    Kids were doing their own thing today, so I got several hours in on the smoker.  Fire chamber door on...still needs some tinkering.  Got brackets for wood grate and tuning plates mounted.

    n not a great picture but finally got the stack mounted.  That 1/2" plate did not give up a 4" hole easily.

    First Build - Offset, 20" steel pipe.

    Got a chance to do some more work on the smoker today.  I also got the door section for the fire box fabricated, but pictures of that will wait till I put it on.  Feels good to make a little more progress.  This is my first 'real' welding/metal project, so be gentle with me on the welds!

    I got a good price from a scrap yard near Gap PA.  Actually I saw an advertisement in Lancaster Farmer.  They'll cut it to whatever length you'd like.  If you don't mind the drive to Lancaster PA from Baltimore, GAP metals and Repair (in Kinser PA).
