This is my first real welding project so please don't be to critical of my welds. ( It's a gradual learning curve ).

Thanks Phrasty! I was hoping you would comment considering I am pretty much making a copy of your build! :heh:

Thanks for posting your cooker, It has helped a ton!:thumb:
 
So it has been a few days since my last post but I am pretty much finished. I wasn't going to post until later but I'm sitting here waiting for the hardware store to open......

Couple nights ago, My neighbor says I'm workin to hard and I should take a break, ask's me if I want to go fishing.... at 9:30 P.M. ...hmmmm...... okay lets go!

didn't get into the lake till around 11:30,

Looks great Brother!

I have thought about doing this if I can find a wood stove. Was yours cast iron? If so what did you use to weld it to steel?
 
My God that looks great. The welds look profesinal, amazing work! I wud use the top of the firbox like a griddle and fry b'feast in the morning as you smoke something for the later part of the day. Best of luck!
 
Man.....nice job on the build! I'm SOOOOOOO jealous! I can't wait to build one just like it to go onto my trailer.

Not that I've built one, but just a couple of thoughts:
  • It looks like you DO have "stops" on your rack slides so that the cook racks don't fall out on you when pulled out all the way? I didn't see them, but since the racks are all pulled out....you thought of that?
  • What about counterweights on the doors? Are they that heavy? Also....do you think you'll need stops so that they don't have to lay ALL the way back when open?
  • You gonna just put it on a heavy cart or on a trailer of some sorts? Didn't know if you were gonna permanize it like Phrasty's?
Like I said.....just some random thoughts. I've been thinking about mine for a good while now. If I only had some FREE STUFF laying around like you did.....!:roll::becky::thumb:
