    Cons of concrete smoker?

    The base are thick pavers from Home Depot. The dem. of the pit are 49" tall, 37 " deep and 47" wide. Nothing is cemented together. I was going to do that after I got it working really well. Now it's working so well I don't think I will cement it together. I think the metal top is 1/4" which is...

    Cons of concrete smoker?

    I've got a concrete block pit. I'm in Florida and the pit is lined with fireplace bricks.

    Would you like a rotisserie specific category added to smoking supplies and equipment?

We do chickens on it all the time, with wood and coals offset to one side. We use Costco's organic chickens...

    First Build Tons of Questions!

Looking at the unit from the front I usually open the right side and put meat on the grate. It's hard to see but I have have an old...

    First Build Tons of Questions!

    Here are the pic's. The opening in the front is where I add fuel. I think my top is 1/8" thick but it needs to be thicker. The heat tends to make the metal curl. That's why I have some blocks on top. This thing works so well my wife wants me to build a finished one my the house. One more honey...
