    500 Gallon that has waited years to be finished

    Finished the racks but not the top rail yet Door springs finished... will probably CNC some custom pieces here later but for now flatbar will do. This is the pattern my friend is trying to get me to use for the air vents on the firebox door... he hasn't had much luck talking me into it =)

    500 Gallon that has waited years to be finished

    Been busy with other aspects of this project but finally got some more work done on this smoker. Trimmed out the doors and added some ribs to keep them from flattening out. Tomorrow will get handles on and start on the firebox and/or stack.

    First smoker build

    500 Gallon that has waited years to be finished

    Built some supports out of 3x3 3/16 steel and got the smoker set at its final height. Ordered 2" ball valves to put in drains. Trying to get to sandblasting by the end of the week. Discovered that the firebox is not perfectly square in relation to the tank. The tank is lined up with the...

    Finished out most of the framing for the roof and small room (7x8) on the front of the trailer. Moved the smoker to the back but still need to raise it up a couple inches. Found some cedar for a shelf on the side of the smoker.
