    The "Lil Joe" offset vertical smoker

    so what would a smoker like this cost to build. I don't weld but may look at buying the material and having the metal shop in my school build one for me. This one looks better than any I've seen.

    Smoke house Idea Questions

    NIce and just for my clarification the press wood didn't cause any effects. I will be making smoked sausage but also turning up heat a bit to cook butt roast and briskets and ribs. even those I never get over 225-250.... 300 if it spikes but then i rush to bring temp back down.

    Smoke house Idea Questions
