[QUOTE="wasilvers, post: 270129, member: 1776"] So, the foot got better and I got on this project last night while i smoked a brisket (see the picture below.). It's hard to find packer cut briskets in WI. I had a grand selection of two. Anyway, it went on at 11pm, off at 730am, smoked on Texas mesquite, held in a cooler/wamer till lunch,mmmmm just about perfect! But back to the project. I added rails for the grates. I left some room between the grates so i can slip a divider between them and divide the fire a bit and offset smoke in the pit (maybe -we'll see, it might be too drafty.). I had made the grates equal so they are interchangeable. I will have about 725 sq inches of grilling greatness! They are 3/4" angle cut and welded together inside and out. I could almost lift my car with these! Welded in some mesh for the grates. The grates need to be removable for charcoal access. I'll add a holder above the grated so they don't just fall out, but can be left extended out. Might be helpful if I want to extend the grates and line up burgers too. Also need to do some work on the lid, and an exhaust system. The exhaust needs to be able to move air, but be closable. Feel free to share any ideas! This fabbing with metal is growing on me!
