    Could I turn this tank into an offset smoker?

    Hi guys, I was offered to pick up a tank for free. Was wondering if I could turn this tank into an offset smoker? Lenght: 5.7ft Diameter: 4.2ft Thanks in advance.

    At the restaurant we smoke them naked for 4-6 hours. Use the bend test.

    Selling Pulled Pork at a fair.

    Not having to smoke all night would be pretty nice. However... We won't be able to bring our large smoker to the fair. So having people see us pull it in front of them will be kinda nice. We also have plenty of people to help us out. I much prefer fresh pulled pork over reheated pulled pork...

    Selling Pulled Pork at a fair.

    Good point about the towel. At one point the cooler will be getting less full. I am not even sure how full the cooler will be when I will load them with butts. We still have to decide how much to make. for that reason it might be wise to get 2x 50QT coolers instead of 1x 110QT cooler...?

    There is no way I can keep that much pulled pork hot for 6 hours.

    Selling Pulled Pork at a fair.

    Thanks chef Jimmy. Always appreciate your feedback. I'm overseas dward. Will probably go with the 110 QT Igloo. Another question. I wrap the butts for the last couple hours on the smoker. When they are done it would be a good idea to rewrap them in clean alu foil in case juices spill and the...

We are going to sell Pulled Pork sandwiches. The fair starts at 11am and is until 5pm. I am going to smoke all the pork butts at...

    Slaughter House Brine

    It was still great. Very juicy. They just took a little longer than expected. They are on the smaller side. largest chicken I can get here is 1200-1300 gram (2.6-2.8lbs).

    Slaughter House Brine

    I doubled the recipe but used celery seed powder on accident. I am thinking of brining only for a couple of hours because of this reason. Doing two whole chickens. Did I screw up or worth a shot?

    What is the best calculator to use for a reverse flow build

    I found out they used a silicone based paint. The guy told me the paint will burn into the steel. I was wondering if I should still season the inside even though it's painted on the inside as well...

    What is the best calculator to use for a reverse flow build

    Sorry Dave missed your post. Will make all the pictures requested during my next test. I just picked up my smoker and of course they did something not requested :) They painted the inside too. The paint they used is heat proof up to 1650F. Will that cause any issues?

    What is the best calculator to use for a reverse flow build

    @Ahumadora  thanks for your  message. The doors leak at all times. If I remember correctly the smokestack is 38 inches above the CC. Will have to measure it when I get my smoker back to be sure though.  Cutting off the pipe on the inside...there is a large group of people who don't like to...

    What is the best calculator to use for a reverse flow build

    I'm far from an expert in airflow so it does not explain anything to me :) I'm really curious to know what it explains to you though. I just know that smoke is leaking through to the edges of the doors...how does that effect the temp contribution throughout the smoker? I want to learn.

    What is the best calculator to use for a reverse flow build

    Top rack - back. However I have not measured the Temps yet at the front side. In the middle of my test run something came up and I had to abort the session. I'm going to do an extensive test session when I have my smoker back. Top rack, bottom rack, front, middle, back. After that session I'm...

    What is the best calculator to use for a reverse flow build

    Hi Dave, Yeah my thermometers were calibrated, thanks for the reminder though. The difference throughout the first hour of the smoker warming up was between 30-40F. I will check it out next few smokes...40F or more would be a significant difference, right? I dropped smoker off at a company...
