I've seen the Goldies new pit style. It looks awesome! Honestly, it makes a lot of sense! I bet Craig could build it. Might be more of an 90 elbow instead of rounded elbow. I'd be okay with it. Basically a shortened stack. Then a door on firebox on the side for loading splits. Seems like you no...
Do you feel cutting out baffle helped hot spot? Does it cook more evenly? Or just moves hotspot to right where firebox meets cooking chamber? I've done a ton of research, knew about old country mods like this. Most people say that works great to remove baffle.
@Danblacksher & @Displaced Texan I'm conflicted on smoker size. Stuck between a 36" and 48". I asked if Craig could do a 42" and they don't come in that size unfortunately. It's all an unbeatable price, so let's get that out of the way. However, there is a price difference. I think Craig said...
So I talked to Craig today, he'll build whatever people ask, won't deny what customers want. He's probably more aligned in traditional camp of smokers. He has nothing against reverse flow and neither do I but I think it was good to get feedback from him. He's very nice and easy to talk to...
Hear me out, for overnight smokes / when you don't have time to babysit offset smoker, you can buy a pellet hopper assembly. So get pellet hopper assembly, put on a couple of concrete pavers to raise it up, get pipe to insert over pellet firepot and into the ash hole. Heat and smoke goes into...
Can find some people that have similar concept ideas on YouTube......I don't think it's excessive time to get up to temp. I think it'd be faster than getting coal bed going.
It's a niche type situation to use pellets but I think it's cool to have option to. 🙂
Hey everyone!
Want you're feedback, have a crazy but cool idea! An offset smoker that can also use pellets!
Check out pictures below of my idea / design. Very simple design. I'd have some sort of platform or something for pellet assembly to sit on.
Main purpose is for overnight smokes or...
Would you call them "nitpicking" kind of negatives about it? Seems like from what has been shared, the things that matter, it checks the boxes. Does that seem accurate? Not without problems, but they seem more on the minor scale in the grand scheme of things?
Any rust developing on your pit...

That doesn't seem too bad! Every 45 minutes isn't terrible. I'm sure biggest thing is experience, like you say. Learning your pit and knowing how it'll perform when you get that down.
So if you are me, you have any annoyances of the Bell Fab or should I confidently pull the trigger? Would...
Seriously, I appreciate you taking the time to go in depth about my questions and share like you have. You're making me feel better about some questions/concerns I had.
So I know a lot of factors go into it, ambient temps outside, weather conditions, size of wood/splits, but how frequently are...
