And so it begins. ..

Got started on my 150g rf patio smoker this weekend. I am helping my buddy finish up his pit as well. Most of the first pics will be of his pit as I finish it up. Please disregard the crappy welds :) and any input is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your assistance as I work through these projects.

My apologies for them being out of order I will correct it eventually.
Got a pretty serious question/problem.
I realized after we cut my tank, the white one, that we should have only cut out a third to match up with the rf plate. Can I mount the firebox like it is and make the fb to cc opening lower in the fire box? Could I make a deflection plate angled down to the rf plate from the fb? Or am I better off re welding part of the end cap back on so that the fb is in the correct place?
