I'm willing to pay the shipping cost, looks great Tom.
 
You make me want to build s new smoker.
 
Yesterday I ran stove gasket around all the door sides, put two thermometers on the cook chamber door, let it sit for a couple hours...then fired her up. Got temps up to about 230* and fiddled with the tuning plates and got both sides to about 5* difference. Gonna run another heat cycle in her and cooking ribs Saturday, pork butt Sunday. :D
 
Let me know how it is on fuel consumption.
 
I'm sure it will be like a V8-4 cylinder comparison to our Lil Smokers.
 
I can't find my butt....not that butt, no problem there. A 6-7 lb pork butt. Stopped at two places I usually get a bone in pork butt and all they had were 10-11 lb shoulders. So... did pick up a rack of baby backs for tomorrow and the quest goes on for a Sunday butt. Pics later.
 
Best rack of ribs I've ever cooked! Tasted the butt when I pulled the ribs, awesome. So far I'm tickled. Even swmbo gave it two thumbs up. Gin and tonic time. 🍸

You have me drooling over here !
 
So, this Saturday is my grand daughter s first birthday. 26 coming over for a cookout. 6 racks of ribs, 2 dozen chicken legs, 2 dozen chicken wings gonna give the smoker it's first big workout. Pics if I have a chance.
 
THAT is a Fine looking smoker.
You did a Great job.

I want to, show ya'll how to make a smoker out of a old refrigerater.
I saw a picture of an abandonded fridge in Chris,s cabin build.

It is really easy, Find an old fridge, metal box
The new plastic ones are crap,

try and find a 2 door fridge

Gut it, remove everything that is not metal.
turn it upside down, so the freezer is on the bottom.
. drill a bunch of 1/2'' holes in the devider between fridge and freezer
install a vent pipe 1'' and a couple of thermometers

you tube has a zillion videos on them.
