Warning, awesome MS Paint skills to follow:
Has anyone ever seen a smoker build with this idea?
Basically just creates a firebox out of the end of the smoker instead of trying to find a sheet of steel to build the firebox out of. Should be easy enough to clean, and price per gallon larger tanks are cheaper than smaller tanks are.
In the first picture, the red line is the cut line. Then that section is rotated 90* around and flipped to form the right angle for the fire box. 2nd picture, yellow line is weld line, firebox door would be on the far right side of the smoker. Couldn't find any pictures of actual smokers build like this.
Hardest part I see is the initial cut, making sure it's straight enough that when flipped around everything lines up good enough to weld. What say the brethren?
Edit: forgot to add, this obviously isn't to dimension. Parts could be increased/decreased in size by moving the initial cut line to the left.
