The end result was both a success and a bit of meh. The smoke was awesome. The odd "all flat no point" and my lack of fire control made it a bit dry. That said, it was an awesome day outside tending fire and drinking brewskies. We killed a good portion of it last night and part of the...

Getting there ...

Thanks

tell it not to worry, you'll be out of gas soon and it can rest.

I forgot to teflon tape the threads of the grease drain and the grease was seeping through the threads so I got that fixed. The floor of the firebox sees the hottest temps so I added a second piece of steel from the main tank. It's both thicker and a larger radius which provides about a 3/4"...

If you can, get a coffee pot that is SCA certified. They brew at a higher temp than the typical coffee maker and will make a better tasting brew with the same coffee and water as cheap ones. I'm using an Oxo "brain" and have a Bonavita One-touch as well https://bonavitaworld.com/products

Kind of like kids; when you see them being born, you get attached.... One more pic tomorrow with smoke coming from it then this waste of server space of a thread is done.

Good eye. I just weighed it and it is 302.2 lbs .120 wall stacks welded to a .180 wall tank. no extra support needed. Stack dampers made and in place, 2 coats of semi-gloss high temp paint, inside is sprayed with PAM spray, and mounting holes for two thermometers cut and one thermometer...

Since this is an experiment I decided to put a chimney at each end and make tuning plates that would allow me to use with normal or reverse flow. First off is a baffle to direct the firebox gasses lower in the main chamber. The firebox outlet I made a cardboard template using lots of cut...

For on-the-cheap, it's hard to beat a simple protractor/drafting angles to find the angle and 1x2's screwed to a piece of plywood. Yes the plywood gets burned in places, but just keep an eye on it.
