are you going gas charcoal or smoker box if you are going charcoal you need some kind of ledges on the sides to keep the coals out from under the hog so you don't have a fire
just my 2 cents good luck

Very good choice and great start. I have a PR60 and an very impressed with it. I too have thought about doing a replica of this unit but with some changes. I think Meadoew Creek make a great chicken cooker as well and I think it would be very easy to combine the two designs into one with two separate rack assemblies to be used independantly depending on which one your cooking. The unit could be used to cook a lot of hamburgers, steaks, flipped chicken, butts, briskets, ribs and of course a pig. It would serve ever purpose you'd run into for volume cooking.

Good luck with your build!!!

I think it needs to be stronger. (Your beer, I mean.) The cooker looks fine. :becky:

going all charcoal.left over expanded will be cut and welded on the edges keeping the charcoal in... I havent figure out how to build a homemade burner yet.. which require a small drills on stainless tubing with drill press.. too much work..
