    Newest smoker build

    Finally had the chance to take some photos of it in the backyard. It of course rained like crazy so there is some surface rust I will have to clean up before I can season it, but oh well. Overall a lot of fun and I am already looking forward to my next build.

    Newest smoker build

    Thank you! I am looking forward to getting it unloaded today. As my wife was leaving this morning she had to come back in and comment on the monstrosity in the back of the truck. For some reason "it looks like it belongs in a Mad Max movie" makes me very happy.

    It is definitely a perk of the industry I am in.

    Red's Newest Build: A Direct-Heat Smoker/Grill

    That isn't too bad at all. Definitely a solid build. Looking forward to seeing more from you in the future.

    Red's Newest Build: A Direct-Heat Smoker/Grill

    It looks fantastic. Going to cook some delicious meat on there. I am curious, how much are you into it for the build? Raw material, parts, etc. Did you plan the build and pick everything up before starting? Or was it partially leftover material you had laying around the shop from previous...

    Newest smoker build

    Here is the newest smoker a buddy and I have built. Sadly I didn't get as many pictures as I should have. I am unloading it tomorrow, so I will take some more. It is made from an old Ingersoll Rand compressor tank I salvaged back when I was a millwright. The diameter is 24" and it is a 120gal...

    Red's Newest Build: A Direct-Heat Smoker/Grill

    Looks like a purchased part. Hard to tell from pictures but I imagine that is laser cut. There is etching on them in the photos as well. I think they are from LavaLock? A little hard to make out the lettering while squinting at my screen.

    Lone Star Grillz Fire Management Basket

    Looks like there would be about 79 pierces on their plasma table then bent at a press brake then welded. Between that and the thickness that is actually a damn good value. They likely have it in to the cheapest fab shop near them if it isn't made in-house. So while the welds do look pretty not...

    More Wings and Thighs on the Vortex

    Looks amazing, that last picture makes me hungry. I would clean all of those plates by myself. It is entirely too easy to make wings vanish...

    Smoke #2 on Weber

    Thanks, I need to try a longer smoke on it next. See how temp control is over a longer period.

    Grinding discs I switched to these years ago and haven't bought a flap disc since.

    Smoke #2 on Weber

    So after the first test on the new setup, I decided some wings were in order. I played with filling up the grate to see how it would cook right next to the firebox. Held nicely at 250~ again. Seems to be where this setup likes to sit. It spent about about 2 hours at that temp before I piled on...

    Indeed it was.

    Firebox for Weber kettle

    Hard to say how much air is actually getting in through there. Mostly smoke coming out so I don't think there is enough draft in the cook chamber to really create a vacuum to pull much air in. I plan to put a 2'~ stack on in the next week or so, so we will see if that changes.
