    bringing new life to old smoker

    Originally a wood burner. I have access to a welder but i dont think ill need one to get it smoking again. The bottom of the firebox is solid structurally. I think a sheet of steel in the bottom and a new deflector and clean the cobwebs out and she'll be good to go.

    Im a new guy here to the site, still an amature smoker in my opinion. Born and raised in iowa. Used homebuilds growing up so its what i know. Ill soon be bringing new life to an old smoker. Replacing the bottom, the firebox, and adding a burner to it. Hopefully ill be successful in my efforts...

    Walmart / Win dixie Real butts?

    The bacon issue you had sopchoppy would be a pickle pocket issue most likely. Bellies being overpumped from a brine pressure issue. Trust me when I say this, the bacon is made the same today as it was 6 years ago, long before the buyout.
