Hello all, new to the site. Stumbled upon it searching what to smoke with a certain kind of wood. Liked what I saw so I decided too join.

Have a Weber kettle, Char-Griller super pro charcoal. I also have a trailer cooker that I have acquired from my Dad some years back, he made it out of a 250 gal propane tank about 30 years ago ( if I only had a nickel for every piece of meat that was put into it). I have since replaced the  bottom in it about 4 times and now it totally gone. I have been looking into making another but not really sure what I want  to do. I am interested in the reverse flow design but don't know much about them. I am currently making a small reverse flow out of a 100 lb tank to see how it works. I have been looking at the Langs but that's not in the budget right now, plus being a DIY'er I prefer to just do it myself.

The home made smokers are really cool. I have no metal working skills so I just have a WSM , but it makes pretty good 'cue...... Post some pix of your build. Everybody loves that stuff , plus you'll get some good tips...lots of knowledge on this site. Good luck , brotha!

I'll try to take some pics. Sometimes I get in the zone and forget to stop and do things like that.
