And some bacon, because let's face it, everything is better with bacon.

No, it's gonna get some paint, probably some high heat bbq paint basic black.

Quick update, got some work done. Rails installed for cooking grates, firebox to cooking chamber opening, and firebox air inlet. I also welded the door hinges on. Here are some pics,

My company is based in Illinois, and i've always listed it with zero issues.

I've seen a lot of guys who use this. http://www.lowes.com/pd_67624-85334-GA0187_?PL=1&productId=1192627

Joe, i'm gonna get some of that, thanks.

That's what my wife keeps saying.

Reduck, thanks for all the suggestions. I already have plans on the drain, charcoal basket, and the baffle. I started with my cooking chamber size and put it through a pit calculator to get other dimensions, here's a link to the calculator, http://www.feldoncentral.com/bbqcalculator.html As far as the build goes, the snow and snow removal this morning before work kept me from doing anything to it. Tomorrow is out for me due to having to go into work for most of the afternoon, so I won't be touching it until Sunday at the earliest.

Oops! I still want one.

Just saw this video, I want one!

Nick, just throw a plank of wood on top and call it a coffee table.

That's because people in suv's get a false sense of security, thinking their invincible. 4wd gets you moving easier, but it doesn't help you stop.

Try tractor supply, maybe. Or this place, http://www.stoveworksnj.com/

You bet, Alec. Couple more pics.

Looks awesome Tony!

Missed it again! I'm wondering if that's why my sister was asking if my truck had a hitch on it, she lives down that way. Tony, I know you know that.

Thanks for the replies guys, made a little progress today i'll post some pics later.

It is older and a small single stage, but it was free so i'm not complaining.

It worked when my next door neighbor gave it to me, and the fuel had been drained. I will check it anyway, I have gas and two-cycle oil so i'm good with that.

I might actually take the snowblower out of the shed. It was given to me two years ago, and i have yet to use it.

Back in the end of October I was down in Texas for work and had some great BBQ at a place called Hard Eight. I've always enjoyed good bbq, but it's not easy to get around here so I wanted to start making my own. I know there is another thread around here about where to get good bbq, but i've always enjoyed diy stuff. That's probably why I load my own ammo, make my own beer, and work on my own vehicles. I bought a welder a couple of years ago and used it to make a welding table and some target stands. Work has kept be kinda busy being on call on the weekends, so I haven't been able to shoot in matches or on my own that much. I wanted a good weekend project since I can't venture too far from home when i'm on call, so I started building a smoker. Here's my progress so far, i'll update as I get further along. Had some leftover square tubing, so I cut it, cleaned it and started tacking it together. Went to Fazzios and got a load of steel and casters, spent Saturday cutting it and got the casters on. Started putting the firebox together. It's going to be a vertical cooking chamber with an offset firebox. Anyone else ever build their own smoker? If so post up some pics, or if you own one post'em.

I've had a couple of their beers, and they're not too bad.

My brother was able to get an extension about 45 days after the initial expiration, so there's hope for ya.

Tis' the season!
