First thing I thought of too. You need some swivel casters. You might also put some kind of hitch on there so you can move it with your lawn mower or a 4 wheeler, if you have one.

I can lift it enough to point it in the right direction. We thought about swivel casters, but worried about heat since they aren't as easily removable.
 
Close-ups and test fire run. Just a few finishing touches left and then time to paint! It's cool seeing someone make my ideas come to life. I can't wait to bring this thing home!

Brought it home yesterday! I will post some final pics this evening...
 
What a great looking, giant rig. It seems like it must take quite a fire to heat that beast up though. How much spacing is between each rack?

Yeah you could heat your house with it. :flame: There's about 6" between each rack.
 
that is one nice looking cooker. you better have a lot of friends lined up and ready to eat.
 
Nice work! Have only seen one made like that before and it was mounted on a trailer. Can't wait to see some food pron!!

FYI, I did line my firebox with firebricks I got from Northern Tool. They are regular 4-1/2"x9" but only 1-1/4 thick used for wood stoves. Box of 6 is about $13. They are easy to cut to size & shape with a diamond wheel on my small Makita grinder - they work great.

Firebrick is no longer available from Northern Tool according to their website. Dang it!
