Can't believe that I'm doing this after months and months of building this damn thing, but I'm putting Ol' Blue up for sale. 
The house that we're moving into just doesn't have enough outdoor space to put it. I'm kinda pissed, actually...
Now if you didn't follow the build on this thing, here are a few pictures that show the process and painstaking detail that I put into this smoker. It's a double insulated reverse-flow style that started it's life out as a re-purposed 100lbs propane tank. Reverse-flow smokers are preferred because they keep a more consistent temperature across the cooking surface and it forces the smoke to travel evenly over the food.
The firebox was constructed of 1/4 plate, insulated with 1500* rock wool, and then covered with 1/8" sheet. The smoke plate on the inside was constructed of 5/16" sheet with an angled grease groove down the center of it - this is to funnel grease downward into a catch can so that you don't get a flash grease fire inside of the cooking chamber.
I'm asking $550.00 for it. This thing will most likely outlive all of us. I built it to be the last smoker that I'd ever own. However, it is a BEAST to move. I'd guess it probably weighs close to 400lbs. I'll also include 6 cords worth of dried Apple, Hickory, Mesquite, and Pecan to the buyer.
And the results....
