Round two, Metal Recycle, The Smoker

[ceyko]

It actually draws very nice. I used an online calculator to size everything and then over sized the damper so I could have a little control. Once its warmed up, I can shut the damper half way and it keeps a nice constant temp.

heh, I saw your lines on the damper where you went small medium and then what you finalized.

My smoker was homemade too by my father-in-law. Think it is at or over 25 y/o now. I just wire brush it down every 2 years, slap on high temp paint and keep going. Yours should last quite awhile too.

When I cut the holes in the door held a piece of metal behind it, traced and then cut it out. The first time I marked it was to design size. Then I opened it up a little.

I was lucky to have had socks on that day. I hung that pic up in my office to pick on our safety guy.

All these pictures have me wanting to try and make something now. I just started learning how to weld about a month ago, watched some Youtube videos on mig welding and made a bike mount that sits on the bed rails of my truck. The welds weren't too pretty but they will work. It's cool how even on a small project I could see the welds get progressively better.

This site is great to learn a lot of tricks.

think maybe you could take some of that junk shit and weld up a rake?

I'm just sayin.

At first I thought this was going ot turn into another "look at my mailbox I made" thread, but it proved me wrong! It looks good, nice job.

You're right about that. It's in the backyard so I usually wait until most of them fall. There's a vortex in my yard, I'll clean them up one day, they blow back in the next.
