Well a few days later and a few more parts build and installed. I have the firebox finished and welded in place. Build both doors and fitted in place. I do have to adjust the hinges on the big door they pulled back a little while I welded them in place. I have the upright sitting in place and a few short welds holding it in place. Welding will be done in the morning when it is just a little cooler.

Work continues on. I have welded the ends over the fire box and the bottom of the upright in place and have started to clean up the smoker. All the doors are now working and cleaned up. The rails for the grates are in place and the pipes are welded in place for the rib racks. I have the handles brushed out and removed so I can clean up the rest. I have the air intake finished on the firebox and rails welded in on the bottom of the upright for a water tray.

Top of line off-set build right there, congrats!

Out of curiosity, what diameter in the smoking area? Helps  give an idea of it's size.

I am done. The only thing left is to paint the lone star silver so it matches better with the rest of the smoker. What do you think????
