Here are the base plans I used to make mine...

Not as nice as Liprippers, but I like it's portability and commercial look. I made some changes to the lid for better air flow control, welded the air intake pipes, and made short removable legs.
This makes a killer smoked pork butt and ribs, and pulls duty as a smoker when needed. It creates a wet smoke even though the fire is directly underneath - go figure.
Also after 12 - 14 hours of slow cooking only about 60% of the Cowboy lump charcoal is used up. I have never seen something use so little fuel for so long.
