DIY Direct Heat Smoker Build! Mini Chud Box Replica!

I made a Mini Chud Box! Added some personal twists to Chud's BBQ design. This was made from leftover 3/16" HR pickled & oiled plate I had from the larger Chud Box I made in the last smoker video. This was a lot of fun and the thing cooks like a champ! A friend suggested I add trim to all the weld seams for a unique look and I'm really happy I did! Took a lot longer to build due to this but the end result is worth it in my opinion. Descriptions and tools used are below. Thanks for watching!
