OT- Looking for a welder

[Reggae Fish]

#1- Looking for a welder to make a smoker. Looking to get some ballpark pricing. If you weld and are interested, please pm me.

#2- Also going to be looking for rolled steel approx 10' long and 21"+ in diameter. Plus some other steel. I'll be looking for used or scrap. Anyone have any ideas

I'll doubt you'll find a piece of scrap, but from a quick search it looks like you can get 24" pipe down to 1/8" wall thickness (which would weigh about 32 lbs/ft). Also, so you know, any closed section like a pipe is not rolled, it is made by welding it closed. And if you cut it open, it won't completely hold its shape, it will open up a little. And I would guess on a price of about $2/lb. Sounds like you have a big project underway. Welding is not that difficult (making your welds look good takes a lot of practice though), you might consider getting your own welder and learning how. Good luck.

Well, shapiro didn't have it. They only had plates to be bent. Any other suggestion?

55 gallon steel drum would be cheap and easy to make one out of. Of course, you would have to get some other steel to make racks for the inside.
