    The smoke box is 2x2x7 including the stub legs. She's a bit of a beast weight wise too. I got carried away.

    I know right? I'm a little worried it might blow across the yard in a good wind! By my note pad calculations (super scientific) finished empty weight on it is about 500lbs...like I said, I got carried away.

    From the looks of it nobody can steal whatever your smoking. It looks like a smoker/ vault crossbreed. To be perfectly clear, it is a awesome looking smoker/ safe crossbreed. Great job. Please keep us posted.

    It's a 50 Chevy. But just in body alone. It's got a 455 olds in it. It's long long. Did I mention long? Way from being done. It runs and rolls and I race it down the gravel roads now and again. With my googles on. No wind shield

    Got some stove paint slapped on her today. Doesn't look perfect. But the steel was a bit pitted. Should out last me though! image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg
