Awesome. My buddy has an electric and it's nice but it's not the same to me.

Wow really. That's good to hear. Makes me wish I would've not over sized it now. To late now haha. I've been scarred by chasing my brinkman with fuel all day to keep it running.

I've been talking about building a smoker for years but now my old brinkman fell apart I don't have a choice. I've been planning this for years and I originally got a steel drum to make an UDS but I also come across an expired 70# propane tank. That led to a debate in my head in how to use...

Just an update since no one replied. I've decided to go with design 2. My priority for this build honestly is 2 things mainly and I feel like that design is the simplest way to get there. 1. I want this smoker to be able to smoke fairly trouble free in comparison to my brinkman. That means I...

Hahaha of all words...I don't think that could have turned out funnier 🤦‍♂️

Thanks. I'm still trying to make up my mind in the best design. While there is a lot of info for horizontal reverse flow there isn't much for Vertical

Yeah this the second one I've had. I also have a 76 sohc cb750. Then the wifey has a shadow chopper and a Suzi gs550.

What's up all. My name is Dick and I've been smoking meat for probably 12 years or so. For the longest time I had a brinkman that I modded with vents and a baffle as well as some sealing to help it work better. I had lots of success with perk and meatloaf on that smoker. A few failures with...

Idea 1. Propane tank is about 14 x36 ish. 55 gallon drum is typical sized. Exhaust will be 3-4" pipe based on the info I found. Intake will be a valved intake. I was thinking 1" and then adding another air vent that's adjustable on the door directly horizontal from the fire. Like I said this...

Hey all, first I'll start by saying hello since I've not done a proper intro and also I've been lurking here for years and I'm excited that I'm finally going to build my own smoker instead of my old modded brinkman. I have gather several supplies for my build but I'm sort of stuck and undecided...
