Let's do this, I'm ready...

Just curious what do you plan to make the interior walls out of?

 

[BGKYSmoker]

Ply

Smoker not a bbq.

OK I understood it is a smoker. The reason I asked is I built one a few years ago and used 1X8 board that was pine. And after a couple of seasons I am getting pine pitch dripping out of the knot holes, was just trying to save you the trouble if you were doing the same.
Good luck with the build and watching.

Appreciate the info but learned year ago not to use any pine with builds.

This will be my second build.

Here is my first build, did a 24 hour smoke season before I added any sticks/summer. Use exterior osb and it served me well.

Base is done.
Only out of square 3/16" no biggie its just a smokehouse.
Rain later today and tomorrow so wont get it all out back yet.

I’m stoked, it’s coming together!

I'm too anal about things like that. I'd make it perfectly square.

I can't even see 3/16 . Besides , that's only 3/32 each way .

If I was building fighter jets again I would worry about it

 

[SmokinEdge]

The smoke won’t care

Just make sure the door jamb is the right size... Don't want to have to take the sawzall all down the jamb for the door to fit (like we had to do Jerry's)

Today was the day to git it built.

My SIL wouldn't be able to come help for while so me and wife started it.

Glad I kept the rv pad blocks.

We have the back wall just sitting on grass, thats why its leaning.

We got the front and back on and braced.

Then SIL comes over to do the hard stuff.

Now the roof.

I would say 85% done.

 

[SmokinEdge]

Looks great. How are you going to do the vents?

 

[JLeonard]

Just burn it down....That 3/16th of an inch is making my eye twitch! And I can hear the neighbors on the hill..."Martha, what ya think hes doing now?"

Oh but wait til the smoke starts rolling....They'll be hanging on the fence with their tongues out.

Look'n mighty fine !

 

[indaswamp]

Might-T nice!! Looking forward to the burn in!!!

 

[Fueling Around]

Looks very good
That last 50% is the slowest.
Yeah you said 85% done, but we all know to extend the ECD.

I saw the pic of your other build, with a pellet hopper. How has that worked out? I'm wanting to build one, but capable of 225-275 temps.
