Smoker Mod

-
The original unmodified smoker -
Cutting the hole to the smoker -
Trial mount of the side panel. I decided to bolt (rather than weld) the two together to make it easier to transport or change. -
Assembling the side panel. The 1/4 inch angle iron is the shelf rail, and the 1 inch angle iron joins the sides. -
Components -
I weld on the shelf rails -
Rick fixes my crappy welds -
A box! -
Plasma cutting the smoke hole. -
The assembled unit -
With decorations. (I built the chile pepper in the Crucible welding class.) -
Masked for painting -
Painted! I will let the stars rust, then seal them. -
I modified my Oklahoma Joe offset firebox smoker. I added a 15" (w) x 18" (d) x 36" (h) vertical tower on the right side. This triples my surface area; I'll be able to do, for example, 5 turkeys. (Not that I ever expect to.) This is my first welding project since I took a class at The Crucible in Oakland, CA.
