Thanks Gary. Finially got it back home. All painted and ready to smoke. I got some pork ribs, loin, and Butt for Thursday. Also a whole chicken. Can't wait.

Firebox and CC painted. I will finish the racks up on Monday.

Sorry those pictures were not in order but I got a lot done today. I went in to work on my day off to get some things done to the smoker.  I got support added to the inside door on the firebox. I installed the lower rack and sides. I changed how my plans on the drain and ran it out the back to...

I got the rack installed today. I'll do some grinding tomorrow to smooth out the welds. Then I hope to put a bottom rack on it.

I also need to seal around the door and maybe up size the door on the fire box to 1/4 in plate. Also need a damper on the chimney. I want to smoke some meat for the employees next week for a Christmas party. It seemed to keep nice heat from side to side. I'll post some pics of the smoked food...

Still need to install so racks for shelving bUT I wanted to do a test run to see what I had for leaks or changes. I loaded some charcoal first because my wood was a little wet.

Finally got back on the project. This was all done to this point at a friends house and I had to also work around his schedule. I decided to take everything to work and finish it off. I wanted to update everyone and thank you all for the help so far.

Thanks fellas. I will not get worked up over a 20 degree difference between the two racks. I will be able to work around that.  I plan to tie it up in soon and have it ready for paint. I would love to break it in over the 4th of July.  We ran out of gas on the welder or it would of been a little...

I was really happy to get the smoker off the stationary stand and get it mobile today. I made this stand out of 2x2 steel that was cut up at work. I am going to make some sides and a bottom to it to load up some wood and add a handle so that I can pull it around with my tractor.

Got the side box made for the chimney. My concern is that I may need to raise the whole some coming out of the CC. The top is level with the bottom of the second cooking rack. I am thinking the food on the top rack may get hotter than the food on the lower rack. What are your thoughts? I have a...

Finally got back on my build. I took to o much time off it but I'm really close. I got the door hinges made and the door attached. Also got some vents on the top of the door to help with the draft into the CC.

Yes everyone has been very informative on here. I couldn't have done it without all the help.

Picked up a set of used wheels for the smoker. Two swivel and two are stationary. ,The wheels hold air and are about 6 inches. I think they will go trough my yard pretty good. I will have a handle on the front that can also be hooked up to the tractor. Also brought home 8 pieces of 2x2x24 square...

My neighbor took in a beef and he did not like how much fat was on the beef short ribs so he gave them to me to see if I would like to smoke them. 15lbs. I did some beef ribs before but I don't think they were short ribs. I did some reading on them in the beef section and will try them once I...
