Getting ready to sit it on trailer. I am pretty excited! Welded a piece of tubing for a glide to square front with back.

Heck ya baby! Got to build a few legs and think I will add another crossmember in center of CC.

Got done early today! She is set on trailer with wood box all done except a floor. Built the shelf 12" x 67" think it could of went out to 14 - 15"? I used 1/8" x 2" flat with 1" x 1" x 1/8" welded on inside to stiffen it up plus give me a lip to set expanded metal on. The wood box will be 12-1/2" deep x 73" long x 24" wide. I used 2" x 2" x 1/8" to frame in around wood box.

Tongue and Jack

CC door hinges

Ran a 2" angle longways beside wood box under smoker to keep wood from falling out

Approximately a 4' x 4' area in front of smoker for a small box, water containers, and maybe a small sink.

Support legs on smoker are 2" x 2" x 1/8" angle
