    Looks great! IF you have a problem with the grates being too hot near the fire box, you might consider a heat deflector under that part of the grates.

    I've got an old 100# propane tank that I've been thinking about making a grill out of. It'd only have about a foot of depth if I went with a horizontal design like that, but it'd have a solid 4' of grille length. I like the big tire idea, too. As a blacksmith, I'd have to add some decorative scrolls and the like, but that'd be half the fun.

    Great build, the only thing I would improve is that I don't think the steering will hold up over time.
    If you ad two 8" discs between the upper and lower part. As long as you are going straight there wont be a problem but if you make sharp turns there will be a lot of bending force on one small bolt and some square tubing.

    That’s a cool smoker. The fire department on on we did a poker shoulder smoke back in may we smoked 500 shoulders using old propane tanks.

    Everything about this is awesome. That being said, the engineer in me says you should take a look at your swivel point where the wheels turn. Everything is beefy except that single bolt you have, and it will see quite a bit of bending load if you are moving the pit and hit against a curb or bump. I'd hate to see that beautiful piece of art take a nose-dive onto someone's foot. FYI, I have an air tank that I bought for almost exactly this build and I intend to "borrow" a bunch of your ideas...
    I don't hear "y'uns" very often. Good people 'round there...

    • @johngraves9201
      @johngraves9201 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I agree! Did a fantastic job on the smoker but a few upgrades would have it solid as a rock. Definitely need a bushing welded into that square tubing and a matching machined pin with a grease zerk or that thin wall square tubing will eventually wear and make it a pain to steer and move around. At the minimum if the bolt is kept I recommend welding the nut onto it. Constant vibration and turning motions will cause it to come loose and end badly. A thrust bearing on the swiveling surface would be an added plus!
