New smoker build 20 inch offset

[double rr]

So I started this build about three months ago originally wanted to build a RF smoker however decided to go old school with a build similar to Arron Franklins smoker in his book ,got some advice and help here to help me get started Dave helped with the sizing and specs Thanks to all ! I am a amature welder and fabricator and have made many mistakes and learned a lot and really enjoying building this ! So this is 3/8 pipe 20" 41/2 ft x 30" firebox not finished but wanted to share some pics .
