So I decided that I wanted to replace my BBQ that I built a while ago..

Doesn't look level to me
It's spot on level, the slabs are on a slant and the angel of the photo
hey I like the 360 access.. good idea.
what you need now is a couple of big U bolts in the side..... to hold a big umbrella for when it chucks it down in the drought we're having ;)
nice work bud
don't suppose you have a half barrel that fits perfectly over the top do you?
cos if you built up a nice fire in it... let it go down to embers.. then chucked a load of sprigs of herbs and some wood chips on.. followed by a large slab of haddock.. and a lid.. you've got a great hot smoker there... really good potential.
On the side I'm going to build a removable shelf so it won't be full 360 (the gap at the side is only about 18 inch at the narrowest part) but I do like the umbrella idea!
As for the smoker idea, I do have access to a full size oil barrow and welding gear so could knock a full cover up for it
most important: how are you going to alter the height of the grid while cooking? Essentialllllllll and your old setup had it
:)
Just looking at the old one is the hollow in the bottom left for a PC case :D, maybe fitted with a GTX480 for cooking the food ;)
No need for height changes due to the funnel design (and food never staying on long enough to be over cooked ;)), the old side part was for storing coal ect :p
