We have been busy testing, cooking and getting things setup to cater for small events and private parties....but now its time for another build.

This one is called the "Bumpkin"

bump·kin
ˈbəm(p)kən/
nouninformal

noun: bumpkin; plural noun: bumpkins
an unsophisticated or socially awkward person from the countryside.

The 1" insulated smoker will be 22" tall, 27" wide and 18" deep. We will be building this one on an "Off-Road Cart". It will house 2 racks 23 x 16, so that a hotel pan can comfortably fit on each rack sideways. A charcoal basket, ash pan, Tel-Tru Thermometer, ball valve control and slam latches will round this out. The offroad cart will have 10" tall pneumatic offroad tires, coilover shocks, 4 link suspension and a steering axle.

Plan is to be be able to unbolt the cart and place on a hitch tailgating mount :)

Here is the sketch, as always I will post up pics as the project goes along :cool:

Moving right along today. Built a rack to assemble on, makes it much easier as the build goes on!

Bottom and middle are done, top is almost complete but stopped for a burger :)

Some new tools and design/build process is making this one much easier than the last :mrgreen:

It is fully welded now. Next is grind the outside welds flush and start plating inside.

Thanks Dawg!

Things went fairly smooth today, got a ton of stuff done. It is ready for insulation and skins, that shouldnt be too large of a task to do tomorrow.

Also, new tools showed up, finally some good drill bits :)
