    Octagon Offset Build (24" x 48")

    I probably did not need the gaskets but I just wanted them on the doors. The doors fit together nice and tight all the way around.

    Octagon Offset Build (24" x 48")

    Ohh one other thing, the inlet vents are 2 x what I need, one on each side. Depending on wind direction you can crack one or the other or both for whatever you need. Very versatile. Also can get a wide range of temps. I can easily run higher temps like 300 - 350, and still have good control for...

    Octagon Offset Build (24" x 48")

    I forgot to mention....my small side shelf and pull handle, as well as that chimney cap, are also easily removable for storage / transportation. They just lift out of the pockets.

    Looking for new Smoker

    Curious how you made out with them? I purchased a unit from them that I ended up selling for a loss a while back. Their customer service was excellent during the sale, and that is where customer service ended. Once I received the unit with the issues I had they offered no solutions (really...

    Texas Longhorn BBQ Pits

    Sorry, I had posted a review earlier, and if anyone read that it was made by mistake. I was referring to a bad experience I had with Texas Original Pits....and I didn't realize this was about a different company.

    Octagon Offset Build (24" x 48")

    I am going to put a 1/4" - 20 bolt, some type of thumb screw head or wing nut type head or something (whatever I can find at the hardware store in stainless) into the corner of each grate as a stop to keep it from falling out too far forward, that way I Can easily remove the bolt to remove the...

    Affordable steel sheets?

    I called all of the suppliers in my area with a list that they all quoted, and I was surprised at how much the price of 1/4" thick 4'x8' sheets of A36 can vary from supplier to supplier....The cheapest source was $100 per sheet cheaper than the most expensive in my area anyway....

    265 gallon build

    I can understand using one of these style tanks since it saves you a ton of fab time....but why use an old rusty used one that has all kinds of oil in it, as well as the sludge that comes with fuel oil? I am of the opinion that making something food grade should stick to new materials.....I mean...

    Octagon Offset Build (24" x 48")

    Well funny that you point that out....I thought about going with a square bottom for ease of construction, and less welds....except believe it or not that uses more steel. Also.....my firebox opening into the cook chamber will be full width, so I am not expecting a lot of front to back...
