@Rob H find out the type of steel and gauge, call a local steel supplier and you will see. It varies from supplier to suppliers. Most fabrication shops have accounts with material suppliers and get it much cheaper then the general public.

Their 500’s on skids start at $6,800, only $1,700 more. The Franklin, Moberg, and MillScale 94 are priced very high, because they have a name and there are lots of people who pay for names and reputations. Not saying it’s right or wrong.

@@thesailingtourists Well, you can get a 100 gal, 250 gal. or 500 gal. propane tank for $100 or even free. That's the biggest expense of his smoker. $225 dollar stick welder (and that's a good Lincoln cracker box) and $50 in welding rod. $100 for a DeWalt or Milwaukee grinder. $50 for cutoff and grinding wheels. $200 for supplies (welding gloves, hood, etc), and that is over kill. Get some scrap pipe say $100. Just add in $500 for extra material, and there you go. $1325, and now you have a home project. Most of those number are higher than what it would actually be, and on top of that, you now have tools to use for other things!!! (Most men worth their weight, have most of these tools anyway.)

Chances are it isn't as good and the fact you probably made it out of all the same gage metal like 99.99% of the home builders do, which is a improper way to build them. Temp gage placement is key too, which everyone over looks and places in the wrong spot. Not counting the proper size stack to burn a good clean fire.

@@Charles53412 I used Feldman's online smoker builder calculator. I built a reverse flow cabinet smoker that would put these to shame. I took community college welding classes but am self taught as a fabricator and in FCAW as well as MiG. No issue in using same gauge throughout build. You have no idea what you are talking about. He put the grease cup on the wrong side and his temp gauge placement is incorrect, in my world. Should have four gauges at rack height. Keep smiling, ignorance is bliss.
