I need some round 16" - 22"grill grates if anyone has some old ones they can give away.  It's all I'm missing to complete the smoker

Just one tip if you score an old one with an enamel coated steel inside.  Have a lot of spare drill bits and saw blades.  I don't know WTH the steel was or if it was the enamel coating but that thing just ate sawzall and jig saw blades.  I think I went through $50 worth of saw blades alone.

Bolt cutters are your friends!

I tried this with both expanded steel and cattle grating.  Grinders, wire cutters, all those tools are nonsense.  A good pair of bolt cutters will be the fastest, easiest, and yield the best results.
“If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.”

Any sort of market for budget smokers?

I have one a buddy and I built a couple years ago. Doesn't get used nearly enough so thinking of parting with.

It's a little under 2'x4'. Has dryer hose for connecting to fire box. Also has a vent on top with a flap that can be adjusted (somewhat).

now really, might be able to get 25-50 for a plywood box on CL, but plywood cold smokers are a personal thing not worth much. why not keep it?
