    DaveOmak... Will take your advise... Don't need to create a bomb! Just don't know if tap pressure is enough to push sausage through the tube. If you have 15-20 lbs of tacky sausage you will get a lot of resistance.

    nice job!! just wondering how you clean it after using it ? I am trying to build one where both ends unscrew. Also trying my hand with air like some others mentioned.

    Jaez... I drilled into the cap and put 3/8 steel rod across then a piece of small grate.  It's about 10deg F difference per rack. I used redheads to anchor the angle iron to the cap on the inside of the box and used s/s screws to attach it.  I built it like this so I can add a pizza oven to the...

    First off I would like to thank Wes for starting a page just on brick smokers. I have been trying to convert everything from normal smokers for my use. This is what I came up with from all the postings that I found in this forum. It works rather well and I enjoyed building it in the back Yard...

    Everyone says that you must do a Fatty so this is my first attempt. Got a decent weave going. Forgot to take pics of the stuff inside but I put in some Colby, Swiss and mushrooms. Added jalapeno, bell, and onion to the burger mix then rolled it up with a little rub mix. Looking like I will be...
