Thank you ! I dunno if I ever talked about this much. If I did, it was probably before your arrival here John. I've got 5 different smokers ( they're like drinking beer, you just can't have a few ) and one day it dawned on me.... Hey, I need a BBQ pit ! I'm always on Utube & I started studying what others are doing. I wanted something cheap, easy & eye appealing as possible. This doubles as a smoker, so there is versatility. I don't use this as much as I should . It's very easy to mess with, very relaxing & very aromatic. All you need is time, you can't just set it & forget it You have to stay on top of it..... patience .....& beer. An added bonus is that I always have deer come thru when I'm sitting there. Sometimes I wonder if there's a connection.
Anyway, I don't have any other pics of my build, but here's a video that led me to building mine.
