I finished both rack supports for my removable double rack modification for my COS. My welds are sub par, some badly so, but my number of passably acceptable welds is increasing over time. I did burn thorough the upright square tubing twice, but nothing critical so I just left the holes. On the whole, In pretty pleased with it. I needed to get materials for the did racks - 3/4" angle iron and expanded metal. Maybe this weekend. I have wanted to put in a second rack of some kind practically since the day I bought the smoker, but didn't know how to accomplish it. Now I have.

After 2 cooks, all black and covered with grease is anyone going to notice your welds?? Congrats. Job well done. -
If you can't break it by pulling and or pushing on it I call that a good weld.

I think you might develop MWS ( multiple welder syndrome )

So I got the next step of my smoker mod done. I finally got the main food grate welded up. I still need to grind down the seams and weld a small piece of angle on the front as a handle, but it's usable, finally.

Weld Metal Porosity is just collection holes for a more intense seasoning result.

I have no clue what you're talking about, Jerod Broussard but it sounds interesting.

Finally finished and ready for seasoning! That will probably have to wait until the weekend.

Doubled your cook capacity!Comment

Not quite doubled I'm afraid. The top shelf is only about two-thirds the depth of the bottom. but I've been wanting a second shelf practically since the day I bought the smoker. Now I finally have it.Comment
