Building an upgradable BBQ/Smoker

[ryoma]

Hi

I want to make a big horizontal offset Smoker (40-50"x25") for making a large grilling (direct cooking) and also a large Smoking (indirect Cooking)

The firebox had to be low and in the center of the smoker like in the photo



Perhaps I'd like to mount (between the firebox ans the smoke chamber) also a separate chamber for the water pan

I have problem to work with a round object so I use a square object like in this project

The project is a mix of this smoker
http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/for...ead.php?t=8241
and a Diamond Plate clone
http://diamondplateproducts.com/

but this clone has a separate section to introduce a water pan

My idea is:
1) Barbequing (direct cooking)



2) Smoking (indirect Cooking)



3) Firebox



as soon as I end to design the separate central firebox, the water pan chamber and a gravity fed charcoal room (like Stumps smoker) I'll add it.


I want to konw if this will be a good plan;
Are there any modifications to do??


Thanks to all
Ryoma
