My 500 gallon pit build

WOW.... Amazing work, brother!!!!!
I'd be worried about scraping the fire box going in and out of off angle area's. How much ground clearance does it have at the back of the fire box?

Sweet build.

It’s right at 9”, if I built it again I would raise it up another 3-4”

9" is pretty good clearance, From the pic's it was looking less than that too me. Great build!!!

Well first long haul cook today, did a 16 lb brisket in the main chamber then in the back box cooked 4 cheese bacon Mac n cheese as well as some baked loaded mash potato bowls. All turned out very good, I recorded the entire thing to show some highlights of the pit in operation, when I get it up I will post the link on here
