Where u get your hickory? Currently I have to buy it from Ace Hardware expensive.

Thanks.

Got the hickory from dad - he cut it himself in NE MO. Made a smoker just before Christmas I traded him for the hickory. I have about a rick right now and am trying to talk him into bringing more when he comes out this spring.

The has wheels. Still, if you're planning on taking it, you'd better bring 6-8 friends with you. I can't believe how heavy the thing turned out to be. It is made out of 1/4 inch thick 20' pipe -cooking chamber is 42" long, firebox is 20 inches long. I used bathroom scales on dads and came up with about 300 - 350 pounds (made it out of a 18 inch diameter propane tank and 16" pipe for the firebox) . I wouldn't be surprised if this one is close to double the wieght. It was all I wanted rolling it from the garage to the back patio - and I was on concrete most of the way.

I figure I have a little over $200 bucks in this smoker. The only thing I bought for dad's was 2 cans of paint, the rest I was able to scrounge up from my scrap metal and a few other sources.
