We appreciate the nice comments. Me and Tyler enjoy working on projects together. We butt heads sometimes, but i finally give in cause he is usually right!!! LOL

[pike51]

You guys and your ability to work with metal! I must say, if I still lived in Birmingham, I'd be bugging the crap outta you to let me come over and learn. Amazing work you are doing! I cretainly wish I had skills like that.

[ThatsWhatSheSaidBBQ]

I just realized that your vertical chamber door is right over your fire box. Are you going to insulate the doors or put like a roundstock guard over it some how? That or be very very careful. I think I'm diggin' your handles too. those are pretty sharp.

[TuscaloosaQ]

pike51 (http://www.bbq-brethren.com/forum/member.php?u=31627) And you could come anytime we do not have the market cornered,we actually just started to cookers,but we have been fabricating w/steel for many years.

I usuallyturn the warming chamber 90 degrees did not this time due to space. There is a1/4" plate seperating the 2. Explain a little furthur for me I could be missing something and that is certainly possible. Thank's for the concern and my friend you may be dead on

[BRBBQ]

Nice looking everything:thumb:

[tnjimbob]

Fantastic looking build! That is gonna be one awesome smoker.

[joe@bge]

That's going to be an impressive rig when its finished! Nice build.

You answered my question right on actually. Thank you! :mrgreen:

[firefighter4634]

Great looking cooker, I bet she will turn out some great Q. I also have a question for anyone in the Brethren. If you was going to build a home made offset such as this one what type of tank would you make it from. I have thought about building one would like to start with a tank of some sort. Would a large air compressor tank work, maybe a old propane tank or would it be contaminated?

[Terry The Toad]

Very nice work on the smoker. And the garden looks awesome too.

(My garden looks awful this year - it has been bone dry where I live. Central Florida just got 3 days of rain ... and it rained for about 5 minutes total here at my house. :cry: )

[TuscaloosaQ]

firefighter4634 (http://www.bbq-brethren.com/forum/member.php?u=23826)

most all of mine are decommissioned propane tanks. No problem with contamination burn it out good and you will not have any problems. An air tank would be a great choice also.If you ever have any questions pm me and I will help all i can

[Greg1911]

Great thread and looking forward to seeing the finished cooker :thumb:

[Hook_Line_and_Sinker]

That's some mighty fine slicing and dicing of steel!
I always love the fab pron , keep it rolling in.
