SO I am handy with the tools. I am an experienced welder. I have build 2 BBQ's and a wood burning smoker. I am curious if anyone has ever build a gas powered smoker?
I have all the necessary tools and most of the metal/hardware that would be needed. I am looking at doing a dual box, one lower one upper, lower for heat/smoke creation and the upper for the meat. Thought of going semi offset with the two boxes. I am a fan of the set it and forget it method of smoking (lazy I know) but am looking for something better than what is currently available on the market.
If anyone has built a gas powered job, what did you use for a burner/burners? Do you have any plans/algorithms that you used for finding the ideal draft and draw? How big did you go? I am wanting to do a slow smoke on whole lambs/suckling pigs so I am looking at a rather large pit. It is going to be stationary out behind the house. Any input is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
