Found this great forum during a google search after watching one too many youtube vids.
Anyways, I have been using a SnP pro circa 1996 or so as a grill and a bbq smoker. One of the heavy ones that is fully welded. It was still horribly hard to control when using it as an offset smoker. It was like it didn't do either very well between smoking or grilling.
Last weekend I got this hair up my behind to take the firebox off the SnP and weld up the hole in the end and built a new vent. Now I have a nice fancy charcoal grill that seems to be far more efficient at grilling.
That is all great and fancy but my real question is,
I would like to build a fairly tiny reverse flow smoker out of the old firebox(firebox would now be the cook chamber).
Here are my plans, use the old firebox which is appox 17 gallons as the cook chamber and a 7 gallon firebox and set it up reverse flow.
Why so small you ask? I would like it to be as portable as can be by one person and be able to haul in my 5th wheel trailer for trips.
I would like to be able to use charcoal and or wood. May even setup a propane ignition to light off the fuel.
I am sure many of you have seen the tiny offset rig on youtube.
Is this a feasable idea or simply ridiculous?
Sorry for the wordy first post here but it's the only way I know how to get my points and questions out there.
Thanks
