That's really awesome.

Are you doing anything to prevent it from catching fire when you light it up?

USDA,my ash pan will be 3 inches off the bottom and my charcoal basket will be 3 inches higher then the ash pan. I think if the temps stay under 275 I should be okay.I might even put an inch of water in the bottom when I cook,but I don't think its needed.

A friend of mine had one just like this. His father built it and it worked fine. It wasn't all hi-tech as this one, either. No ash pan, just a big pie plate on bricks on the bottom for the coals, some small vent holes around the bottom and no exhaust stack or thermometer. We used to suspend a turkey in there and slow roast it. Came out so juicy there was no need for gravy.

I'll bet this one cooks way better.

[Smokin' Hoglegs]

That is one beautiful cooker! Nice work C.B.! I'm gonna have to keep my eyes peeled, I want one!

Thanks guys,I finally put all the finishing touches on it and put a small birds nest of unlit briquettes in the basket with a few chunks of mesquite mixed in,I dumped about 20 lite briquettes in the center of the nest and sat back to let it season.This thing is still humming along,after 5 hours the temp has not moved with only one intake open it sits between 220 to 240 degrees..It works great so far,next week I will load it up with some beef ribs.
