Cooked some leg quarters. Now that we are west of Dallas I was able to get some Mesquite wood. Used a combination of Mesquite and Pecan.
Smoke flavor was stronger than I expected and after searching through the posts I confirmed it’s the Mesquite.
Temp 250-275 for about 2 hours.
So 6 years later. It’s done.
we’ve moved twice and had another child, and took another job.
This smoker design works better than I imaged.
Thank you all for the help.
That's the plan for now. I'll heat and bend what I can for best fit. I will have to seal up the open spaces in between the welds on the door straps. Some are two large to leave open. Slow and steady....just like a brisket.
Good Afternoon SMF!
Got a little more done today.
I did learn the small propane torch from any hardware store doesn't t work on 1/4 thk metal. And I didn't have a big enough hammer. I did manage to leave dents in the door but it didn't bend one bit.
So I welded the strap down and hit it...
Good Morning Josh. Glad to have you. There's lots to read up on here. I've used the search function many times to help me out. Start there and thus it begins!!!

Welcome from Texas! I've been out of the USA a few times and I do understand the problem with beef. I had a really good filay in Costa Rica a while back. I had to go ask the cook how they did it.....just wasn't possible to get something that tough to that tender.
Their answer, it was impoted...
Gary I have been wanting to plant spinach, but just haven't. When would be a good time for this? I live in Rowlett......close enough for a shipment of that brisket!!!
You had a "bumper" crop compaird to mine. I gave up on my squash. Bugs got most of my zucchini. I realized I didn't want to eat that stuff with the amount of spray I put on them. So I'm the leading bug feeder around here!!!
And I second that question. I've always used foil....it's what my grandpa used. But I'm intersted in butcher paper.
Gary that is a really great looking brisket!
On the beans, did you pre cook them before you put in smoker?
Mr Dave I think I have figured out a way to secure my door and hit it with a hammer.
But I want to weld braces on the back side and after reading your comments here and other posts. I'm worried that if I can get the door right and then weld the braces on I'll just mess it up again.
Question...
