Smoker/bbq build

I wonder what kind of temps burning hardwoods can reach?
There's probably also the matter of repeated heating and cooling.

But, wow, nice job Jon, and that's an awesome workshop.

When I retire someday, I'm going to learn how to weld. I've always wanted to try.

The hottest it will ever get is when I burn it out the first time. I will start a hot fire in each of the 3 sections to burn the oil off the metal and sanitize it with heat. If it holds up to that were good. I still have to find door latches. I know what I want but I can't find them anywhere.

Handles and latches welded on. Got the basket built. It is ready for a test fire. I painted all the new steel so it won't rust sitting outside. After I got the bugs worked out it will get a new paint job and fenders/ table added on both sides. I'd like to find some stainless steel for that.
