468 folks have viewed your build....   Lookin' better.....

 

You might think about cutting out that hunk of iron that's hanging down in front of the FB/CC opening...   Could really screw up the flow of heat..

I did order some 2" ceramic wool i got 13 feet of it. Its going around the firebox any have any ideas on how thick the sheet metal should be over it. ?

Not a lot of help here, but I'm watching! Starting to take some good shape!

Just use 18 guage sheetmetal. No need to go heavy. Paint the inside of it with high heat paint, so it does not sweat and rust.

Did you put a deflector plate in between your fire box and cook chamber?

Your smoker is looking good.

Insulation should work awsome. I used sections of sheet steel 18 gauge. We'll see how hot it gets on the surface. Not done yet still have to cover th backside of the fb.

Just got some nice castors to go on the bottem so i can push it ou of the garage. I was going to put it on a tandem axel later down the road.

Insulation works so well i can place my hand atop the firebox without burn. Its lower than skin temp.
