    Looks awesome! Most of these smokers (yours included) have a small fan on the bottom of the hopper to pull air from below and feed the burner. It looks like you sat the bottom of the hopper tight to the concrete, which basically blocks the airflow. Did you modify this afterwards from the end result shown in the video to pick it up off the concrete?

    Great video and best review one could hope for! I recently bought plans for the glenn lounge chair. I would probably make one from cheap pine first before using expensive wood :D hopefully that should build some confidence. I am planning to make a bed as well (queen size) but using inspiration from thuma bed with castle joints. I am planning to use ikea metal central support beam along with their slats instead of making it out of wood. My experience with wood support beams has been mixed at max. The curved nature of ikea slats and metal support beam is tried and tested! Thanks again!

I am a NOVICE but want to build my own set bc the ready-made ones of resin are IMO junk. I can't go with typical type picnic as I need the seating to be open on the ends so you don't have to raise your leg to get into the table to sit down.

      Hey thanks! That actually wasn’t mold, it was dirt. The was air intrusion on that side of the wall, when air can get through, it pulls everything with it. So the insulation was essentially serving as an air filter and caught all of the dirt that was being carried through. At least that’s what I was told when speaking with a local pro when I had it looked at. Thanks again for checking out the project!
