Nice. Can you post pix of how you did the shelves in your first unit?

here ya go brian these are the best i have on hand currently will include better pics on this build.these brackets are metal door tracks i picked up at a yardsale for cheap, they are drilled and pop riveted in place, most people use angle iron of some type, the smoke stack was a drive shaft off a chevy pickup.

Very nice work. Nice paint job, too.

I'm trying to figure out a way to have shelves that can be pulled out at least halfway, without falling -- the way oven racks work.

Did your first build provide any lessons that you'll be applying to this one?

What about using some small c channel for your shelves to slide in?

c channel should work fine, check this out http://gassmoker.com/c-burner.htm  click the pictures it opens up helpful hints,i built a smoke generator spent to much money on it, then tried his ez smoke method using a large juice can that works great for me, spent to much time orignally sanding the box to perfection then used hammerrite<texured hammer finish> paint on it, that stuff put on thick is awesome spent aprox $50. on paint way more than i expected, will use the same stuff on this one as well    hope this helps
