    Can I ask anyone with a Hyperbolic Smoke Chamber a favor?

    Does not matter, as long as I know witch one is for,, volume of cooking chamber. I will do a test with same principle on a centre feed reverse flow smoker. Just to have a quick idea of minimum clearance /starting point.

    Insulated Reverse Flow Cabinet Smoker Build

    Guess the meat ends up very juicy, easy to keep temperature low enough, with all the insulation? Love the design and the thought gone into it. Maybe call it reverse gravity feed?

    Made a sliding Throat adjuster: I can see on the welding drops I have made, how many inches wide the opening is. So I have sort of good control over throat opening, 6 inches wide and max length is 10,5" Think I will need to reduce the size of opening when I find out my operating area. Sliding...

    Can smoking with certain wood cause allergic reaction?

    To add, oils in tree's are fuel to fire when burning. So oils will be converted to energy, so fire. There will be leftover residue, but chemically it will probably be very different. So I will say the approach of giving a small amount of food for test on the person is the best approach. Always...

    Adding Extras to Chips

    An interesting article about adding extras to the fire.. It talks about Rosemary, Bay Leaves, Grated Coconut, Allspice Berries and Corncob. Worth a read. Use These Ingredients to Imbue Your Barbecue Smoke With More Intense Flavor Think beyond wood chips and charcoal.

    Can I ask anyone with a Hyperbolic Smoke Chamber a favor?

    Can someone post, diameter of top ring, and air opening height. Would be interesting to know also height inside to calculate approx cooking chamber size too. will try to use some of this info to adjust in an center feed build, it will not be a copy but rather an guidance of starting point.

    Thank you so much Hot spot is, on my list of things to look into with center feed, with any material, is a problem issue in this design. Would like to try both mild steel and SS, to compare on RF baffle. Warp is a very valid point, will see if I can mitigate some of the issues, then again...

    RF Baffle placement still struggling to get grasp on that one. If I use 173in square divide it in 2 since it's flow in both directions. I get that the RF plate is going to be an inch above the bottom, sounds so close. If I double that, or triple, 2"or 3" and restrict area required at the end of...

    Plasma Cutter is stuck in covid-19 lockdown in Manila, still between rain showers, short circuit of the cable to the grinder. things are slowly progressing. Used 50 cutting discs so far. FB looks very big, so read a bit more, I can reduce it's size with 30 % since it's center feed? Think I will...

    Been reading a few post on this forum for at least, 6 months to a year. Been doing a bit of long and slow BBQ, some smoking. Started with a Weber long way back. Whole turkeys, whole fish, even had it out in the snow doing BBQ in the winter time. Done homemade bread, pizzas and so on. Still...

    Got the steel plates, already started the cutting :emoji_wink: can't wait. With my luck I will get the plasma cutter when I'm finished. :emoji_laughing: The end piece, would you recommend to weld it on the outside? Or make it fit on the inside, use it to build around, any thoughts? SS is...

    Taken your advice and ordered a plasma cutter, living far away from any proper Hardware store, so it will take some time. Reason for baffle in SS material is not corrosion, it's its K value. Temperature properties. So with a baffle in SS more of the heat is transferred in the smoke, less...

    Done the layout for plate cutting. My poor 5" grinder will be abused a lot :) Bottom of Firebox, will join two of the leftover bits
