Thread: Project #2 Mean Green Contest -- Insulated Smoker!

  1. #1

    Default Project #2 Mean Green Contest -- Insulated Smoker!

    I sold my other smoker, so it's time to build another one! This one is going to be a little smaller, it's 4'tall x 2'wide and will be insulated. I hope to get the majority of the smoker finished this weekend.

    Any new pictures of this project?
    I have a masterbuilt that I bought a few years ago and would sometimes like to have something bigger.
    I might have to try building one sometime.
    Consistency is a good thing....unless you're consistently an idiot.

    I have 2 more top pieces to tack on and I will have the inside skinned. It will be Monday before I get to weld it together. I tacked everything together with my PowerArc 140st.



    I will be cutting it close on materials so I am using all my drops for the inside top layer.

    Sean--- I'm surprised you don't list all those welding magnets in your tag line. I've never seen that many at a welding supply house!!

    I have to break down and build a welding table! Those magnets help keep things in line when you don't have a table.

    SO true. I got very lucky not long ago and got a four by eight foot, with one inch steel top welding table. Right now it's sitting and waiting on a slab to sit it on (with the backhoe.) So, the welding table is outside and I don't have magnets. You still got me beat!
    What's your heat source for the smoker?

    Yummy!! Sausage and ham on the top racks and turkeys on the bottom. The very best of recycling.
