    Bbq pit makeover

    Bought this pit about 10 years ago and used it plenty times, but the firebox and smokestack were way too small.
    Me and Hoyt Man started the project last Friday and will have it ready by Easter.
    Here’s the before pic



    Cut the back off to square it off to put a 30” pipe firebox with a flat top with a door also on top to cook steaks and such. It’ll be 2 pits in one. [emoji1303]





    Put in a heat baffle to control heat going in.

    Got rid of the Mickey Mouse smokestack and put in a 6” diameter smokestack that goes down 8” inside.


    That’s about as far as we got so far. The firebox ate up a lot of time, but we’re proud of the way it turned out. We still need to build a shelf under the main doors and a wood basket on the backside. Also we’re cutting that wide trailer house tongue down to the width of the rest of the bottom frame. Those pics will follow.

          Thanks.
          Alan gets all the credit for the design of everything. I just weld what he tells me to weld. Lol

              Looking good. I’ll be refurbing my pit pretty soon as well. Mainly just paint though.

                That’ll be our last step. I’ll be taking it to a guy who will sandblast it and spray it with high temp paint.
