re: High end offset smoker build

My welding skills are actually pretty atrocious, but they work. The hardest part about the whole thing was getting the design right and keeping everything as square as possible.

Working with a cylinder isn't very easy.

Really, it comes down to having all the tools (you need a ton) and shop space and burning up all of your spare weekends on metal work. It also helps tremendously to have either a friend or family member with lots of problem solving/fabrication skills to help you when you're stuck on your first attempt.

YouTube is also a lifesaver now. I just kind of modeled my design after a few of the bigger fabricators like Fatstack and Moberg and Harper Pit works.

In saying that, I probably won't ever be building another one. It was far more time consuming that I imagined.
