  • For this metalworking project, I build a classic offset BBQ Smoker! To start this project I used an old 80 gallon air compressor, and seeing it through to its first smoke, made this project build all the more rewarding. Enjoy!
    The welders used : Lincoln MP 210 MIG, Lincoln MP140 MIG, Lincoln PowerMIG 260, Lincoln Square wave 200

    There's only one word for what you've shown us, Jimmy: artistry. Incredible, the amount of tricks and ingenuity, from the damper in the chimney to the repurposed clamp for your air inlet. Just the sheer combination of recycled parts, yet it looks purpose-built. Those were 27 dense minutes!

      I made a similar deal in Peru from a 2' diam x 1/2" wall thickness x 3' length of steel pipe stolen from the gold mine I was workin at. Held heat excellently. And required a fork lift to move. I'm sure that expanded steel grate was NOT galvanized--zinc imparts a peculiar flavor.

    Great with one potential design flaw: wheels instead of tank treads. Just how much does this bad boy weigh?

    The trick with wax and 4x4 to hold the plate inside the tube blew my mind. Awesome work as usual. 🤯
