Wow. I don't know. Mine only goes through about a 1-1/4 lbs. per hour once it has reached temperature.Is your smoker fully insulated?
yes it is. My 4x6 tube is 4 inches off the bottom of 10x10 fire box. Think that has anything to do with it?
Im using a bbq guru. Thats why I wonder if I should move my transfer tube down. There is 5 1/2 " between grate and bottom of tube
Hello. I used 1/2" plate for the firebox. That may be overkill, but the firebox should outlast me before a burn through is an issue.
Well its been a while so hope you still might get this. I am building a gravity feed smoker and was curious what thickness of material did you use to build the fire box? 1/4" or 1/2" thick?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks,
Bo
There is no grate or cover on the inlet of the heat transfer tube of this smoker. Gravity pretty much assures that the coals fall into the ash box. I've not had any issues with the transfer tube becoming clogged with coals or ash... at least not yet.
Also I am assuming there is some type of grate/expanded metal on the inlet of the transfer tube to stop any coals from entering the tube.
Am I correct on that assumption?
