Low buck smoker build
 
3 Attachment(s)
Got this old propane tank from Craigslist for 100 bucks, got a 4x8 sheet of 3/8 AR plate off my neighbor for 75 bucks, got about 20 bucks worth of 1/8 flat strap, gonna mount it permanently to a 5x10 trailer i've had awhile.

Very nice:metal: what are your plans is it going to be reverse flow? I'm in the planning stages myself to build a smoker, mines going to be an insulated Cabinet type, no room for a trailer :waah:

Right now it's just going to be an offset conventional style, I had originally planned to build a reverse flow, I may later on add some angle iron in the bottom and put a long plate and add another smokestack, but for now i'm sticking with what I know.

I bought it off a dude on Craigslist, he had already cut into it, but i've been told to fill them with water then soak for awhile and cut into it then.

About 99% done now, sure am happy with it. Fired it up last night and man it's easy to get temps under control with this thing. Gotta fire it up a few more times before I cook on it to getit good and seasoned. Gonna paint the trailer black also and section off the other side for wood storage.
