Old smoker

It was rotting in my uncles back yard so I decided to bring it back to life. Time to smoke some stuff.

great job Andy.
I recently did one my self, but left the fire box off.  (almost identical to yours.)
Tighten some and replaced bolts, a little welding , rattle cans of high heat paint.  good to go...

Looks like a buffalo.

Good job Puto with cheese

Nicely done!

Nice work Holmes

I was expecting this   

Nice work

Good restoration! A modification you can do is to relocate the exhaust stack to the side of the cook chamber.  Exit the middle of the cook chamber. 3 inch diameter pipe.

Some mods to improve the smoker:

1) Cast some refractory in the bottom of the firebox.
2) Improve the airflow and draw for better wood burning performance. Relocate and enlarge the exhaust stack. 3in diameter pipe. Relocate the stack to the side of the cook chamber, in the middle.

That's clean! I will be looking for some good barrels for the next project.
