Here’s mine from last thanksgiving. It 5’x6’ , bricked and used shaker screen for a grate. I rolled the 12 guage top and welded the ends on.
Very nice!! I've always wanted to build one for doing whole hogs. You did a nice job on that lid assembly.
That’s a really nice design and setup
Here’s another angle. It’s an old picture, the tress have grown up.
If I could figure out how to post pictures I would show you mine.
I built it about 10 years ago and have it on a trailer. It has 24 square feet of cooking rack, and is insulated with 1200 degree insulation on the cooking area.
By the way, I like your smoker and was going to build one kinda like it (just smaller) before I built the one I described.
Most common mistakes I see in homebuilt smokers:
Flat tops... drips can form anywhere and fall back on food.
Vents in the top of the box... same issue
Especially for hot smokers for salmon.
Reverse flow I built several years ago
