Hello All....
I have started a new project, building a new offset smoker for myself, using 1/4" thick plate. Here is where I am at so far....body is fully welded together, no end plates yet, door is cut and is partially fabbed. Firebox is welded up ready to attach, no grating fabbed or installed yet, no frame for it either. This thing is going to be on 10" swivel casters with 4" wide pneumatic style wheels (flat free) so that navigating around the yard won't be too bad. I made the panels 10" which makes the internal width 24". I did make the 2 vertical panels 12" though to give me some more spacing between my grates. The firebox is 24" cube. The exhaust will be 6" cube. The inlet to the firebox, 2 - 6" holes, will have slider vent covers on them. I wanted the ability to have a lot of air flow for higher temps when I want to.
