this has been a slow-moving project since the heatwave has settled in, but will get back on it this winter. I'm still using my first pit that i built several yrs back, so no real hurry on the cook trailer

Nice build. I'm looking for some 5" or 6" myself. It's hard to find around here. Your new smoker should handle any thing you throw in it! It's nice to be able to work indoors.
Keep the pictures coming.

well, after using the calculator, ive found that original firebox was too small, so i re-drew it and sent out to buddy with the burn table, Wheeewee, glad i noticed before it was too late, original design was only 75 percent of minumum fire box size required,
Ive also made up my mind on building it reverse flow, I found some pics online of a jambo firebox to cookbox and noticed that it actually brings heat in above the meat. I thought about trying this, but i like the use of water in a reverse flow............... any opinions on the jambo design??????? after all it is the winningest pit out there!!
