I am in the final building stages of another offset smoker with attached grill and thought that I would post some pictures.  I made some changes to improve it based on input from buyers. I changed the frame by putting it on six casters, better support and maneuverability. The smoking chamber is built form 3/16 steel plate and the bottom is center creased to provide good drainage and easy clean up. The door is also 3/16 steel plate and seals air tight. This is accomplished with door handles that press down on the door much like a vise and finish it with a stove gasket. Firebox is constructed form 3/16 steel plate and also sealed. Being able to provide a good seal helps in the draw and flow. The vents on the firebox are spring tensioned for easy movement when the box heats up the exhaust is set up to enable a good draw and the exhaust opening can be adjusted. The grill is just as I have been building them no change and this one has an argentine style grate. This one is being shipped to Georgia. Enjoy the pictures and if I can be of help to anyone let me know, even helping you complete your project. I have a cnc plasma machine and can custom cut anything up to 5/8 inch thick.  The more I learn the better my products become. Oh yea the temperature
gauge on the smoker is broken. They break easy when you are hammering on them go figure :)

Now it's really got my attention. Would like to see more on the baffle system, but looks very attractive at that price. ;D

That's the way it's priced on his web site. I'd like to talk to him about the double walled version. Also, seeing if it will function on wood. ;D

Sorry about not having a faster response, i have been building 3 grills and another smoker.  Yep I am selling them for 750 as it is shown on my web. The damper or is located in the center of the metal between the fire box and smoking / cooking chamber. The fire box will hold wood. It's 24 inches deep x 24 inches wide at 13 inches in height.  I am always looking at ways to improve it. I am going to be at the event in Tucson on the 30th. I will have one there.

I think an insulated one would double in price if not more. The labor involved would increase drastically.  Thats why I stick with what I build. I don't think I would get much business selling my smoker for 1400 to 2000.  I try to make it simple, functional and durable. When I get a cover made for one it would be interesting to compare it to an insulated one.

I have layer out some plans to build a double walled insulated smoker. This will be a lengthy build. But any input will be recvd well. I plan to build a frame from square tube. Once the Fran is built I will skin the inside with metal thickness to be determined. Then the outside, prior to skinning rock wool or another insulation will fill the space.  So there is a start.
