Awesome Job so far!

Creativity is a powerful drug. I LOVE getting into the "zone" when doing something creative.

Keep it goin' Thats going to be an awesome smoker. AND every time you cook on it, you will get another surge of those affirming feelings. Psychology rules when you manipulate it in your favor :-D!

cool - can't wait to see it finished and cooking

Really nice build. My only concern is what that drum had in it. Burnt out or not. Be careful

mmmmeat · Oct 22, 2009

i realize that some chemicals soak into the pores of metal... but with the fire i cooked up... it burned everything out, plus i scrubbed it out before i started work today, and i might burn out again after everything just to make sure.here's smore work today.... it's a pain i find out to weld these together but slowly it's comin together.... slowly...but i ran outta weldin wire soooooo.... this is it for tonight.... bummer

thanks fer lookin

mmmmeat · Oct 23, 2009

alright, now, whats the most economical(cheap long lasting) way to do some sort of fire basket, that can accomodate both charcoal if i wished, and wood? it will most likely mostly used for wood, but charcoal will used for a different taste... or somethin, any help would be greatly appreciated!!:eusa_clap:mrgreen:
