Interested to see the finished product.

I worked on it about 5 hours yesterday and got the doors built. Hopefully I get some help to lift it this weekend and get the skin put on. Sorry I haven't taken any more pics but I will get some soon.

This is taking way longer than I had hoped! I wanted to be cooking on it by now.

Got it insulated and the skin on today. Lots of welding,grinding and blending left to do. Don't laugh at some of my welds but they will be ground flat anyway.

Since I put a picture of my son welding I will blame him for any welds that look like chicken ****. Lol

I'm still working on it. We spent 10 days out of commission so not much has been accomplished. The only thing I've done is some grinding and blending on the doors. I am very anxious to finish this thing but time hasn't been going my way.

Finally started back on my project. We've made big gains the last evenings and hope to have it cooking ready by this evening. I will post more pics when we finish it up hopefully today.....if I don't stick a deer first this morning.

Interesting.

We have a little finish work to do but we fired it up this evening to season and test. Still needs a little polishing and some paint. I also plan to add temp control next.










I was worried about the draft with the reverse flow design but we just loaded it charcoal a few minutes ago and it's draft great.

Man, isn't that the truth! I made a reverse flow masonry pit and it was a tense moment or two to see if it would draw properly! Looks great.

The casters are going away! I think it's gonna tip over every time I open the door. I'm afraid if one of the wheels go flat then it will tip. I'll either have to build a cart to mount on or a trailer which is what eventually happen any way. I was hoping for something I could push in the corner of the garage and roll it out when I use it. Just too heavy for the casters.

We have lots of learning to do on fire control. It took us 2 hours to hit 260° but it holds great when it gets there. I need to figure out how to heat it up faster. Over all I'm impressed and we are not finished. She will look good when we get a fancy paint job and dress it up a little. My only complaint is its too heavy to use it the way I wanted to.
