    OK, Here are 2 pics of the fire box opening and the opening to the cooker. The fire box is 24x18x24 and the cooker is about 48x30x30. The opening to the firebox is 16x5.5...before I get things welded together, do you think that is going to be a large enough hole? I kinda came up with the...

    Finally got to work on the smoker a little. Had a water pipe burst so I had to tackle that little jewel. Had to re-make the top too. The bends were too far off and to tweek them would have made it look like garbage. Would have had alot of holes to fill as well. (pics re-posted below) Still...

    ...had to buy a new welding helmet too. The one I had was crapping out. Had about a 1/2 second delay to darkening (that really sucks) then about 2-3 seconds before it lightened back up. So I guess you could say I am in it another $130.

    Gonna have to build a trailer for this thing. It's gonna be HEAVY. 1/8" mild steel. So far, the 2 best parts of this build are A: It almost looks like I know what I'm doing (scarey), and B: I'm only in this project $10 to day (spool of MIG wire)!!

    So, I have decided to build myself a reverse flow smoker. It is a little an the large size. Plan on building it so it can serve a dual roll as an open pit. It may go a little slow. Here is how my smoker started out life....

    ...ok, trying to do an avitar (?). I keep getting "invalid file" message. Even sized it to tiny, 120x75 or something like that. Still wont take it.
