Looks nice. What kind of wood or charcoal do you use. Probably a dumb question but I dont know of anyone who has one.

I'd like to have a large outfit like that, I doubt if I'd ever need one that large.

For us ignorants, tell us the details of draft, smoke, cookbox, etc. The bottom 1/4 of 22” pipe above firebox is cut out. A piece of 1/2 plate is welded in a third of the way from bottom of pipe. The 1/2 plate goes to 6” from the end. The heat and smoke hits the 1/2 plate, goes to end of pipe, up around over meat to smoke stack and out.

I built this one a couple weeks ago. I got it painted this morning. It doesn’t look too bad. I need to find some shiny heat proof paint. The only thing they had was bbq black. It cooks well, used it a couple times. Probably my last one
