Custom build/DIY BBQ Offset Smoker
Discussion
Great work OP. Here is my poor effort. I was teaching myself to TIG weld, and I’m better with an objective than just practice,practice,practice. It has some of my worst and best welding on it. It’s almost 100% stainless steel, can be used as a slow smoker or a fast regular BBQ. I was fed up of bbqs going brown hence the stainless.

I think that looks brilliant, unique. Is that a replaceable gas cannister or is it empty and you use charcoal/wood in it ?theHotHead said:

From my perspective it was worth it to build it. It still worked out cheaper for me because I ended up getting what I wanted, I was looking north of £5500 for a custom build.
I could've compromised but I didn't want to in the end. Had my garden been more accessible I definitely would've bought a ready made smoker. But it turns out I learned how to do metalwork and weld and bonded with my brother, so for me it was a fantastic project with great learning.
Dining chair just broke, the missus asked me to fix it, will take it to my local workshop and weld it
