Here is a screenshot of the dimensions. I am not a pro at CAD, I mainly use it to get the plasma cut outs I need to cut them out with my plasma table. I also get to a point where I can proceed with the build and stop messing with the CAD. The frame dimensions are correct but there may have been...

A few more finished pictures... with my 4 year old breaking stuff. Good thing the chair was headed for burn pile anyway. Smoked a rack of ribs yesterday that came out awesome. Had temp set to 240F and held very nicely with fan at 30% speed. The issue was when I opened door to move some iGrill...

I built a vertical reverse flow offset a few years ago and after a work competition where I tried to smoke 8 racks it became clear it was too small. I started looking into buying a pellet smoker for the convenience since I have two small kids. Then I decided to build a pellet smoker (first 4...

Hoping to get the 1x1" frame done then enclose it with diamond plate. See how it goes.

New gaskets work great. At the ends I just took about 6" piece of the gasket and folded in have to put about 3" in each end. Working great. As I suspected the thermistors would stop working as they weren't high temp rated. Adafruit sells thermocouple type-K breakout boards for Arduino so I...

Put some temporary door hinges on to try it out. I don't want to finish the outside until I know how it works. Burned it off at around 400F. Stack pic. Today I went to do some testing and the wife has a ham bone with plenty of meat and fat left to season it up. I figured I would wash...

Doors done-ish. I have 1" insulation but I haven't figured out how I am going to finish the outside. Used wood stove gasket rope and Rutland gasket cement. Trays are cut.

Holy sh*t this one is really awesome.

Anyone have any opinions on where to put the two sensors? Probes I have are only about 3" long. I was thinking one on each side, drilled through the back 1/3 the way from the bottom of the CC. So there would be a left and right sensor. Would top and bottom centered be better? Either way I am...

Same exact thing happened to me. Still had some left in the tig tank so I did more with that. It's too bad carrying gas is such a liability otherwise TSC would have it.

A few more from today. More progress next weekend maybe.

Some progress pictures. I thought the build would be going quicker but it's tough with a 5 week old at home... Was planning on using an HVAC controller but thought it would be more fun with an Arduino and touch screen running the damper.

Cool thanks. I did some measurements of my scrap and it looks like I can make the smoker deeper from 14" to 17" with what I have.

Thanks for the feedback. When refueling do you just scatter a few in there or fire them up then put them in?

Willing to hear any opinions. Even if they are harsh!
