Hey all life has been busy and havant had much spare time to work on the smoker.
I was able to take this weekend to get all the remaining welds complete and build the fire wood storage box.
Planning on getting it sand blasted in the next couple of weeks.

Seasoned it over the weekend but took the time to run it and get a feel for it would do.
Took less than 30 minutes to get to 260. Ince it hit 275 I made all my draft adjustments but noticed that by just closing the chimney a 1/4 inch dropped to 250 quickly. I plan on making ribs this weekend I'll post picks and update.
