Today starts the winter build. I got the steel.
Rolled the Barrel 1/4" Plate.

Dug an old trailer out of snow.

I will be posting pics as we build pieces of the pit.

The entire pit is 1/4" Plate Steel.

Making a reverse flow with water tank above firebox to add moisture.

Have a great New Years Everyone!

Ribs will be cooking in the morning for the Packer Game!

Nice, like your concept.
Was beginning to think stick welding was a thing of the past-Makes it even better!
Was the vent laser cut?
 
Outstanding! Can't wait to see the build progess and the payoff Q at the end.
 
I ordered the vent itself.. Its 1/8" stamped. We cut the hole in the door with a torch.
Ordered the tube rolled from the steel supplier.
Other than that everything is done using a Torch, Grinder and a Stick Welder...

More pics are coming. We have the grate in the and the fire box will go on tomorrow...
 
More PICS!!! Almost done!!!

Should be painting by next weekend!
