i like the cap on the chimney. did you make the spring handles or buy them? also on the angle iron for the rack, it looks like it sits below the edge of the door? if this is the case won't you have to then lift the rack before you slide it out? I just did some marking and measuring on my tank. I came up with 17.75in for the door? how big is your door? and are you doing 4 cook racks? 2 on the bottom and 2 on top? How hard is the door to open? and to keep open? or will you ad counter weights? I will post photos of my build but right now all I have is the tank and a trailer. I am taking photos as I do things but nothing to Internet worthy yet.

how come you removed the nice cerved mount w/ the flat bottom that was on the tank only to then cut a curve into the tube stock? why not just keep the mounts that were there move them if needed, then re-weld them back on and just use square tube for the legs?

For us, the compressor feet were not something that we wanted to keep. The feet were not tall enough for what we needed. Instead of welding extensions onto the feet, we just made one piece legs that were the right length. Cleaner look and it helps it look less like an old compressor tank. The 4” tube was free material. Were trying to make it look as professional as we can with the skills we have and simple tools and materials that we have to work with.

Keep up the good work. I enjoy a good build almost as much as I enjoy good Q.

Are you planning on sloping the bottom at all to help move the drippings to the drain valves? Just a question. I am so jealous of the end product that I can see this being.

Pork butts make a lot of grease. We can drain through either valve by adjusting the trailer jack. Makes it easy to clean out too.

I really like the way the eyebrows over the thermos turned out. I don't think we will get the chance to work on it much in the next couple of weeks. Deer season is calling my name.
