I'm still fairly new at welding, but my confidence level is pretty high. I want to build a smoker, and a very heavy duty one at that.
I'm going to building it out of 1/4 plate. I only have grinders, and an 8" milwaukee metal cutting circular say at this point in time to
cut metal with. So I am going to be making it all with square cuts. I havn't decided on a design yet, but I am going to do a little practice
on some scrap that I have laying around. Here is my question.
When I'm welding a box together how should I make the joint? Here are the 2 ways I am contemplating.
1. just a straight 90 degree I guess it would be a T joint. and just weld the inside.
2. offset, and weld the outside gap, and some 1" runs on the inside spaced out every few inches.
Not sure which way is the best, or the correct way.
