    wheels and axles...

    good website, good find.  amazing after all the googling i did trying to find a shop like this - never once saw it.  no all thread, got it! the square tubing is slightly angled, and it was my first thought that the axle through this square tube would provide best support.

    wheels and axles...

    here is a picture if it helps explain.  originally looking at axle through the angle iron at the bottom, though i put the axle through the legs instead.  the legs are not angle iron, but steel square tubing.

    wheels and axles...

    Sounds good, I'll price out the collars and see what that comes out to - if too much I will try and drill. Alright, that's two for drilling the axle with hand held...You guys must be on to something!  I'll look into it further, thought for sure it was drill press only type of job. First...

    tuning plates - options.

    I have a pretty good size side box smoker, that takes a lot of heat/fuel to get the smoking chamber up to temperature.  This tends to create a very very hotspot immediately adjacent to the fire box.  I have tried to read a lot about tuning plates, but don't necessarily have access to many raw...

    wheels and axles...

    Thought of that, but I don't have access to a drill press - and can't imagine trying to drill through a steel rod like that. I recently thought of 'shaft collars'. http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/DAYTON-Shaft-Collar-2X568?cm_sp=IO-_-IDP-_-RR_VTV70300505&cm_vc=IDPRRZ1 This option I could by a...

    And here is a shot of my smoker from the side.  I am a bit ashamed of all the smoke coming out, the more and more I read I am understanding that this is not the best approach!  I am still learning!  Cool pic though.

    wheels and axles...

    I am interested in building some wheels/axles for my side box smoker.  It is quite heavy, I would assume over 500lbs.  It is 1/4' steel all the way around, and takes 3 -4 guys to move it around (still not easy).  Currently it just rests on the ground on 1/4" angle iron.. I'll get some pics if it...

    Just wanted to drop in and say hi!  I am new, year or so into smoking.  I've done a lot of shoulders, lots of ribs, some briskets - but my experimentation has ended there.  I can't wait to try some of these recipes on these forums, and expanding my dishes. I will try and upload some pictures...
