"make us a massive pull behind grill/smoker combo for free. you have 7 days"

trailer belonged to grounds or something. it had been sitting there a few years. we didn't need it so we "sourced" it.

stared at my pile of junk, drew up a plan, and mig welded the frame i would need to make it all fit. added aluminum diamond plate wheel wells we got from a huge piece we "sourced" had enough diamond plate left for some shelves so we made some in front and in back.

got these 3 barrels that held goodness knows what but nothing too dangerous. for safeties sake me and the boys had some beers while we caught them on fire one night. you know... for safety. not because fire is fun. neither is beer.

First one fitted. painted with one coat of heat resistant paint and placed for a visual.

minor setback in fitting the second barrel... no problem a plasma cutter can't fix. finishing touches here and there. painted the rims black so it goes faster.

all done and luckily she rides true. I was afraid it wouldn't.

keeping an eye on my paint while it cooks. the sheen went a bit but paint stayed.

the look that normally comes before the phrase "(sigh)... damnit where's the grinder."

all i need now is a place for my gun, a place for my big-Mac, and a place for my oxygen tank. because breathing is hard, and so are stairs.

OP, make sure the metal isn't toxic when fire's applied. It might seem stupid but doing shit like this with the wrong metal/treated metal

thanks for the input. the barrels were cleaned with a degree service and then we burned them until they were red hot all-over over two...

nights. so I hope that would have gotten everything out. as for the metal it's steel so we think it's good to go. but...
