    Hello From Minnesota

    One your senior members, Bluesman, suggested I come take a peak at your forum. He was kind enough to give me some welding advise on a bbq forum. I am pretty green when it comes to welding, grew up on farms and got exposed to a little bit of stick welding.

    I will attach an image of the grill I just completed. I call this one: It Ain't Pretty But It's Done! I am already in the planning stages for another grill, bigger and prettier!

    Thanks in advance for all the great information that I will be getting here.

    Ryan

    Hi Ryan and welcome to the forum. We like pictures here so be sure to include some showing your work. Also, keep an eye out for the next contest here. The odds of winning a great new Longevity machine are very good.
    Looks like you did a great job on the smoker.

    Thanks Dan,

    In the next couple of weeks I will be buying the metal for the frame and firebox for my next smoker build. I will be sure to get some good pics of the welds and come get some feedback on how to improve.

    Here's the link to the new contest if you haven't already found it. May as well enter and that way all your posts will count towards possibly getting 1800 bucks to get new toys with.

    Welcome sir! Glad to have you here. We wouldn't object to anyone sharing great BBQ recipes here either I imagine. I sure wouldn't.
    Enjoy your stay Ryan.
