Well, my bar-b-q pit is not big enough so I am adding a smoker. This will give the pit 2 more grills 24 inches in diameter.

The smoke stack is being coped to make a 90 degree angle and relocated to the top of the smoker. Part of the stack will be used to make the inlet pipe, and the rest used to the smoke stack.

The heat level will be set by a pipe welded to the inside of the head on the smoker - pictures of that will be posted later.

Today I cut the the stack off, cut the angles on the pipe, cut the inlet and outlet holes in the smoker and did some welding on the trailer.

The big gauge on the top of the smoker has already been removed. What you see in thses pictures are when I was taking some measurements.

Can't wait to see how this thing turns out.

wow. something tells me you could make a pneumatic mortar lol. That pit reminds me of the chicken gun the Mythbusters built

All it needs is an engine and some treads! Impressive. You must cook for a bunch. If I were to cook out for all my friends all I would need is a pancake griddle. Just a thought but perhaps you could fabricate and sell some of these. Or possibly rent them out for reunions, parties, etc. Nice job!

My wife has 3 children that live near by, and I have 3 children near us. We have 7 grand kids and 2 more on the way - just from my wifes side of the family.

Renting the pit out is my exact plan. I have the tanks to build 2 more complete pits just like this one.

-------------EDIT----------------

This summer I am going to invite everyone within driving distance over for a bar-b-q. So I want something big to feed everyone that shows up.
