Offset build with 34in diameter pipe

Nice build, looks like they used a torch to cut the doors out? I used a 4" cut off wheel to do my doors, took a bit longer and about 10 disks but stayed nice a straight. I think they could be bent back into place to seal better, my doors are bolted on also to keep them from moving doing the welding process.

Had some friends help me weld the latches on. Door close up good and tight now.
Tomorrow the smoker goes to get sandblasted and painted!!!! It’s been a long time but the end is near. I am hosting a Super Bowl Party on Sunday for the youth group that I work with and will be cooking 40-60lbs of chicken wings on the smoker.
I’ll keep posting until it’s done.

Found a guy who is sandblasting and painting my smoker for $200 ( I provided the paint).
Waiting to get it back, either tonight or tomorrow. Can’t wait and then will season and be cooking 40-60lbs of chicken wings for our super bowl party on Sunday.

Great, Remember you will need to do a bit of a burn off with it before you start grilling.

 

[jbellard]

Am planning on it. Saved up some bacon grease and gonna warm it up and put it in water to spray on inside.
Hopefully will get the smoker tonight or latest in the morning.

Well I finally got it home. Looks really nice and I am pleased. Have to get that sand out of there now, do a burn and get it seasoned up. Thanks for watching. Been a little over a year now but I’m sure it’ll be worth it.

Looks real nice... It should cook good....

 

[jbellard]

Thanks Dave for your wisdom and insight! Gotta get all that sand out of there now and get it seasoned.

Looks like it turned out great.

Nice looking unit, and worth the wait. Any more pics with the cook?

 

[jbellard]

Here’s some pics ghoster although I haven’t gotten to cook on it more than twice. Been traveling a good bit.
Did 40lbs of chicken wings.
Did 3 briskets.
Did some babybacks. Gone before they left the foil.

Smoker looks to be working a treat, and its good to see you are clearly more than capable of driving it because the food looks amazing. Great work!
