CPT Terry,
There is a guy I know locally that builds targets and whatnot, he is a very talented welder. I can see how much he would charge, but something that heavy would have to ship motor freight or you could drive to Oregon to pick it up. 
He does travel to USPSA 3-Gun competitions quite often, as far as Minnesota to my knowledge.
There are some places that sell smokers, some large enough to require a substantial amount of truck to tow them. Way beyond what I need.

You buy the plans, I'll grab the beer and head up to the Iowa home to help assemble it. We can sit around, fiddle with the grill, drink some beer and then call someone who knows how to fix what we will be sure to break!

Send an airline ticket to Bill Harsey, rent a welder, and buy a keg of beer.
Easy fix!

Then you can have a BBQ that will not only cook the meat, but cut it as well!

I have one of these, as well, and it is really really nice. By far the best grill I have ever owned (coming from someone who hates to cook inside, LOL).

A good friend of mine built one out of cinder blocks. I would have to say that the cooking surface was about three feet by five feet. It looked simple. I think he had one cinder block turned sideways for ventilation on each side near the bottom. The grill top was made of diamond shaped metal grating with rebar as a frame and some pipes for handles. Pretty cool of you ask me, he used to cook for the entire neighborhood and his extended family and friends at least twice a season. Popular fellow, especially with the hay rides for kids and bon fires.
It looked like a snap to build, the most difficult part was prolly getting the ground flat and level. It sorta seemed like over kill sometimes but he was that kind of guy, he would start a seperate camp fire just for the baked potatoes.
I have always thought that a brick pizza oven would have been a cool addition to these outdoor appliances.
I just noted that you specifically said BBQ, sorry if this does not apply since it was strictly a Grill and you could not technically BBQ.
Are you going to roast some hogs, chicken or ribs?

That sounds alot like the one I posted a pic of in this thread:
http://www.professionalsoldiers.com/...?t=6647&page=2
Its concrete blocks and an outer layer of some other stones to make it look pretty so my grandmother wouldnt complain about how ugly it is.
Many of you guys do some highspeed cooking anybody have one of these?

The place that has all the woodchips I get for my grill is selling the crap out of these things for some reason.

I know a few people with those and they love them for some reason. I always thought they looked like an oversized grenade.

I have had a smoker of some sort ever since I moved to Arkansas (15 years ago)and have one recommendation to make if you do end up purchasing one: Get one that regulates heat well as temperature is the key to smoking. This typically means heavy wall construction, a close to air tight fit on all the doors, and quality dampers. The heavy wall holds the heat better and is not as subject to warping (creating air gaps). The tight fit on the doors for the same reason. Quality dampers do a better job of regulating the air/smoke flow. You don't want to have to play with it every 20 minutes to maintain temperature. Of couurse what this all means is money.
There are some quality smokers such as Oklahoma Joe's that can be found pretty much nation wide. One manufacturer I have been looking at is Klose BBQ of Houston (by gawd) Texas http://www.bbqpits.com/
The discovery of golf has cut significantly into my weekends but I still enjoy firing up the smoker when I can. Good time to practice chipping.

Well I finally got the grill
Or should I say my parents bought us one as a housewarming present. Mom wanted to get us plants and a bird bath 
Luckily dad had veto power
It's a Char-broil gas grill. Fits nice on the farmers porch out of the sun and rain
The offer for steaks and beer still stands should anyone find themselves near little old Whitman Mass.

I like this idea! I have a couple of books I need to ship to Bill, and as soon as Nancy's new one is released I will have a third.
There probably isn't much around Iowa City to interest Mr Harsey, so maybe I'll get him to come Santa Fe for grill fabrication. Sounds like fun!

I realize I am resurrecting an old thread.
I am looking at purchasing a "Big Green Egg", the topic was discussed briefly in this thread, any more anecdotal "evidence"?
