So, many of you probably don't know me. I used to be a regular around here...The founder of SOB-QTV!
Been pretty busy lately but now I am finally getting to start my reverse flow patio sized smoker. I've been picking up pieces and parts for many years
for this idea and now its GO TIME!!
Here we start with a simple drawing to get thoughts on paper.
2 air compressor tanks joined at 90* to form a cooking chamber/ vertical warming box-firebox.
Not your usual design, But I am not your usual individual.
After working with Dave Omak on some numbers I asked my older brother for some help. He is a heavy equipment mechanic with lots of
ingenuity and knowledge. thank goodness he said yes!
Well here's some pics to get things started. Holler if ya have any suggestions...I would love some feedback.
My nephew also got into the build also. The frame for the smoker is from an auction I was at, got it cheap. The axel I got from a friend for $50...Had to shorten it , but its just the right size.
Here my brother is making the first cut on the end of the horizontal cook chamber to start the process of scribing the tank to match the vertical tank.
Starting the first scribed cuts...It took several times of scribing and cutting and fitting the tanks together to get them to fit tight.
Finally starting to look like the vision in my head.
this is where we are at so far...looking good I'd say.
