My Budweiser BBQ Grill

[nmwelder]

My 2nd Project. Decided to make a BBQ grill since summers almost here. So after a few ideas from this website and thesmokering.com I decided to make a unique bbq grill. I found both tanks at the recycling center and picked up for bout 15$ together. I spent about another 100$ on square tubing and expanded metal. I am very happy the way it came out. I really wanted to write "Bud" in white lettering on the bowtie but Im gonna hold off on the mean time. I also got another idea about a warming plate from a bbq smoker I had seen here in town. The plate is located on top of the firebox and big enough for a tortilla or even a pot of beans! Let me know what you think. I got more pics coming

Time to light one up

One thing I forgot to mention. Plenty of mesquite where I live so the cooking grill has to come off when you put all the mesquite in it. So I made the holder till the mesquite goes down.

nmwelder,

You did a fine job on your grill!
If I were closer to New Mexico, I'd trade you some of my red oak and pecan wood for some of your mesquite wood.

Have a great week,

Jerel

Nice but how do you control your air flow at the fire box and at the smoke stack?

Fine Job on the Budweiser theme pit! Looks like it is doing a great job!

Me gusta lo. Nice clean work and a good size for the family too.

I have tried mesquite and the steaks are a little bitter for me if that is all I use... U have fruit trees near u maybe? might try a little apple or peach in there too it'll be sweeter tasting.

The flag could read "Corona" tambien si quieres.

what did you use for the barrel? Like old fuel tanks?

Great Looking Work!! Does the firebox have an air vent on it?\

awesome looking smoker! I have been looking for some tanks to make one of my own, but here in socal the tanks have been few and far between. I have a cord of oak sitting in the back yard just waiting for a smoker to make some sweet love in!

What was the size tanks you ended up using?
