Backwoods Clone Finally Done! (Pic heavy)

[StickPigBBQ]

I have been working on my first smoker build of a BWS Chubby clone for the past 7 months, a little here a little there and she is finally complete! I have been procrastinating on putting pics up here becuase I have just been too busy but here I go.... I was new to welding and building so there are some imperfections but she cooks just as good as the real deal, (I did a comparison cook lol). Thanks to everyone who has given me advise and insight, I could not have done this without you!

This is the first pic I took of the build back earlier this year, this is the inside frame with the interior skin on the sides and back and the cooking chamber area started..



Another pic of the same...



This pic is of the makeshift frame I made for the waterpan to set in and the channel iron for the heat diverter to slide into



Top sheet on and outside frame started.



Holes cut out and started for side air inlets



Air inlets bracketed with 1" square tubing



Insulation going in...





Exterior skin on



Front view of exterior skin on



Framing the SS doors out of 1" square tubing



SS Doors front view



Mounting doors to smoker



Gaskets on doors



Doors and latches installed.



Thermometer installed



First fire up!



Had to use her in her first competition before castors went on and paint was finished but she did well.



Not the greatest pic, but pained with castors on her ready for the next competition!



Thanks again everyone and I look forward to this winter when the BWS Fatboy clone will start!

God Bless,

Josh

Looking good there Josh I did not realize that Jennings was the first cook on your smoker. Nice job buddy looking forward to the next comp that I can compete in.

Brent, thanks for the kind words and yep that was her first competition! Look forward to seeing you later this year down the competition trail bro.

Hotdog, thanks man and I will be more than willing to help you out in any way I can. Just keep in mind Im still learning too

Kevin, thanks so much for your kind words as well. I could not have built this without the advice and wisdom I got from you. Now Ive got the sickness of fabrication and cant wait to build my next one!
