Love the attention to detail! Especially on the wheels, and steering... Looking great.

Thanks everybody for the comments. Each step of this build took me a while, it’s been a slow process but a lot of fun, and at times frustrating. I have very little time with 4 little kiddos. Some days I’ll just stare at it and think, others I’ll get some things cut, and some days I work my butt off on it and things start coming together. The wheels and front end took me 3 weeks, I had never done that before (make wheels or turning components). And my welds need improvement, but luckily I can grind off the worst looking ones.

Got grates done, and finally the firebox door all finished. I added reinforcement to the grates, and put metal over the front slides so they can't tip after this pic was taken. Used a sawtooth vertical vent on my firebox, I had seen a few online and wanted to try it out. Works pretty good. Just need a handle for steering the front and paint, then I can burn some wood in this thing.

Looking good! Nice fabrication skills!

Great work! Now you got me thinking about that upper rack. Very interested to see how your vent works too! Great ideas. Can’t wait to see this thing in action!

BigThicket · 08-31-2018, 06:32 AM

That's an awesome build! I love the wheel idea. Looks rad.

Tipps, your build is very impressive. If it cooks half as good as it looks, you might have accidentally started a side business!

I really wanted a half upper rack, so it wouldn’t be in my way as much. I can pull it out pretty easy if I need too as well.
The vertical vent works good, it adjusts/latches in 1” increments to as big as I could fit it on the door.

Looks like there will be some mighty fine BBQ coming out of that rig. Great work!
