Damn, Kevin, you got a crane to get that sucker up on a stand or are
you building it in place? At least, you have no problem with it
blowing away...

Re: charcoal or gas?
Will,
I figure the fire box will be about 250 pounds. The cooking chamber will be
out of 3/16" thick I figure about 700 to 800 pounds total when it is all
done. I will put four10" pneumatic tires on it and pipe extensions that
pull out wheel barrow fashion to steer it when needed. I thought about just
putting an axle under it with a tongue, but that would be hard to store and
use in the back yard. If I need it to go mobile I'll just use a come along
on my trailer and tie it down good. This is similar to what I am making.

Re: charcoal or gas?
Just be sure you flame that guy up real hot before cooking on it! The flux
from your welds (dunno what kinda welding yer doin) will get in to your food
(somewhat NOT good for ya!).
You just using steel? Is it galvanized (hope not!) ?
