One more question, how did you seal your doors? In some pictures it looks like you might have a gasket, but hard to tell.

That sounds perfect. Guess it's time to start drawing up my next set of plans.

Wow! That is an awesome setup. I'm hoping to build something similar after I get my trailer build sold. Looking for a very easy to operate system that holds steady on overnight smokes. How much charcoal do you use a longer smoke?

Lots of good discussions on wood in the area. Got lucky on craigslist and found a dead maple at a construction site in Portland so that will get me going for a bit. My dad also mentioned we have a bunch of madrone that after researching looks like it can be used with good results.  Last few...

Well, it has been a while but I have finally got started on the build. It has gone the way of many others with a propane tank versus the custom metal house due to pricing. Ended up finding a 325 gallon tank close by and picked it up. Got the doors cut out last weekend and I am planning on...

So I got the quote for all the material need to make the house style above, but it was just over 2k which is noticeably beyond my budget. It looks like that larger propane tank might be the way to go. I'm looking at splitting it lengthwise and adding in a ~18" tall section that could add 4...

I will drop it down to between the two hinges of the upper door. The width hasn't been set in stone as I haven't figured out what my latches are gonna look like. Now that everything outside of the firebox is gonna be 3/16" or 1/8" it may just be one piece bent or multiple welded together. I...

Made some changes to the design today. Shrunk the depth from 30" to 24", added a permanent inlet on the firebox(24"x2"), changed the side adjustable inlet on the firebox based on DaveOmak's input in another thread, angled the roof so drips go to the sides, added the stack out the side, angled...

I will definitely look into that. I could also angle the top as well if I couldn't find someone to roll a sheet or find a tank. I get what you said and it makes sense. I will work on putting the stack out the side and look more into the bottom adjustment or reverse flow.

Hey everyone, Just joined up to try and learn more about smoking, specifically designing my own smoker that I would like to build this summer. I started a build thread, but it needs to be approved. Once it is I will link it here...

Just joined recently as I have been digging through the forum trying to learn as much as possible. To get started, my inspiration for this build is my brothers wedding. Myself and the third brother were tasked with coming up of a way to feed roughly 50 people with meat. So far our parents have...
