That's a beautiful smoker. Reminds me of some late 1800s to early 1900s craftsman ship. I love it. UA-cam dosen't alert me to any of your videos anymore even with the sub bell turned on.
Pretty slick build, one thing you will find is that you may want to add a grease drain. If you are going to cook multiple briskets or beef ribs they will shed a lot of fat during the cook, and you don't want that to overflow into the fire box and cause a bad day.
Kyle you should put a small counter lever on the lock door so that the top has a slide lock as well give it that little bit of a kyle style cheers from down under
Definitely need a grease drain, unless its there and i didnt see it. Also, that 1/8 is gonna shed heat pretty quickly. Heat retention wise you would've been better with 3/16 or preferably 1/4". Looks like a solid build though, gonna be fun to cook on!
It does pretty good on heat retention. A thinker material would probably be better but would have cost and weighed twice as much. This one weighs around 5-6 hundred pounds as it is.
You dont need to weld the nut on the handle. Use distorted thread nuts…nuts that have a deformation that locks the threads and they’re all metal. I use them instead of nylocks when I want the nuts to be powder coated.

That smoker is sick! It's a piece of art that you can cook on. Rad design
Bought the plans this afternoon. I have everything nested on 5 sheets of 10ga and cut out on the Cnc and I’ll get to the welding tomorrow morning
How you been homie? 😁
Good to see you back!
Such a cool design! Nice work! I got a ton of ideas for a build.

yeah I agree
Beautiful work! 👏🏻
That thing's a unit. Very nice work

agree that would have been a better solution...
Great job. It turned out great 👍👍
Such a sic video! You definitely did do work, son!
Really want to see it working!!
Hey it's the Fab Forums!
Just got to the part where you are running test welds. Run solid wire down. It looks the best and is plenty strong for a smoke.
Finally. Get on with a Bibster update.
Sick!

How much do you think you saved building vs buying? Steel, weld supplies, time?
Also, I wonder if there is a market for knock down kits?
Not sure. I had around $1000 in materials and somewhere in the ballpark of 30 hours in build time. I think these type of setups sell for around 5k
You are very good UA-camrs, can I get a comment heart?❤

Good call, didn't think about that.
Fusion can create the drawings for you.
