Your off to a fine start on your smoker.
I love your welds also.

Well I was able to work on the smoker for a couple hours today...It seemed like I didn't get much done but sometimes it's the way it goes. This is the bottom part just about done. I will make the smoke channel up the sides tomorrow and cap the top of what you see here. The water pan will be towards the end of the build I think. It should hold about 6 gallons of water. Well here are the pics and thanks for lookin.

I got a little update here today. I have the smoke channels put together and will actually weld them in tonight. In these pics you can see how the channel will go up the side and then back down inside the cook chamber.

[got14u]

A couple quick pics...We actually got farther then this today but these are all the pics I got.(plus some burnt ends in the MES)...in these you see the high temp insulation going in and the skin getting a good fit...All that is left is the back skin, smoke stack and front doors. Everything except the smoke stack should be done tomorrow. thanks for lookin

 

[Paulmark]

Very cool.

Ok a little update...Me and the boy worked on the smoker this evening...It's now 1 am so we called it a night got a little more done then what the pics show...But things just seem to keep stopping me from finishing :noidea: any ways we buttoned up the top door and have the bttm door and smoke stack left...so we should be smoking this weekend :sausage: . I also order a pan break today so the next build should go faster and actually produce a better product....It will allow me to cut down on all the welding :banana_smiley: Here are the pics.

the slave labor working hard
