Very Nice!!  I built one that you can see in some of my other posts.  It is a great time cooking on them.  I sold my latest and have plans for another as a winter project.  I have as much fun building them as I do cooking on it.

Your fire box is great - big enough that you should not need to worry about heat and you could really load it up for a long burn.

Nice looking rig. I like the big flat fire box. When we smoke all night we usually cook breakfast in the morning.

A nice iron skillet full of bacon and eggs sitting on top of the fire box wakes everyone up!!!

Great looking ribs.

Ben, did you ever go to a shoot in Hopedale, Ohio? That chicken looks as good if not better than I used to eat there........years ago

Did you put a smoke/heat baffle along the bottom from the firebox that opens on the opposite end. Asking because of smokestack location.

Good looking rig..... what times dinner?

[longbowben]

Yes there is a heat plates in the bottom reverse flow.
