    Small 100lbs propane tank build

    This has been my favourite smoke so far. Pic is mid pull. It took soooo long to get to the right temp but I started the day before so I wasn't rushed. After 12 hours in the smoker it went in the aga in the cooler part for several hours more. Wondering if one of my gauges is off. Well worth the...

    Thanks Dave, This weekend I will be doing more brisket, pulled pork (whole shoulder) and short ribs! I'm going to do it the day before we have guests so I don't end up rushing.

    Final update: Well I got it finished and have smoked a brisket with reasonable success. I ran out of time and welding gas so some of my already sloppy work got worse. I ended up doing a very basic intake after getting fed up using the hole cutting bit. I used a stiff hinge and just cut a...

    My cousin dropped round a 12lbs beef brisket this evening! Better get a move on as I plan on cooking It on Sunday and I will need to give the cylinder a good burn out before then. It still smells of the smelly of gas (or whatever they put in the gas so you can smell it)

    Hi all, Thanks for your help Dave. I am really pleased that you have seen success with similar designs in the past. Do you have any advice for the plate? Should I cut holes in it or just leave a gap at the top as in my visualisation. I'm not sure how the smoke would act if I did that. I...

    Yes and I like the idea of making a reverse flow but that is for another time! I am going to get some work done on this one in the morning. Having looked at some calculations I think that the stack is probably almost long enough as it is. What do you think?

    I wish I had seen this thread before I started http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/t/124744/small-rf-build-using-a-100-pound-propane-tank I probably would have copied it! Anyway I am pushed for time as it is so keeping it simple for my first build is probably no bad thing. Thanks again for the...

    Quick update: I have cut the foot off as that is where I will put the small fire door. I bought the angle piece from an exhaust place and partly welded it in place. I can then slot a piece of pipe in when I want to use it, which means I can store it vertically.

    Small 100lbs propane tank build

    Hi all, Sorry for the silence. I have been a little busy but I have managed to weld the other hinge on so now I have a door. Tomorrow I think I will go to an exhaust place and have them bend me a 3" piece of pipe for my stack. Reverse flow would be an interesting option but I think I will...

    Small 100lbs propane tank build

    Wow, great comments. Thanks so much! Can't wait to get back to work on it. The intakes look good, I will have a think about that. I wonder if it is too late to make a separate small door for the fire. I know it will still let heat and smoke out but it might help a bit. I will re-post with an...

    Small 100lbs propane tank build

    Thanks for the input! I mainly want to build this for low and slow cooking. I'm thinking racks of ribs and pulled pork etc! But it is nice to have the option for direct grilling, which is why this setup will hopefully work well for me. Yes I do plan on the classic british 'BBQ' party but I will...

    Small 100lbs propane tank build

    Hi all, I posted this in the UDS category but it has evolved a little. I still need plenty advice as the build is still in the early stages of development. It was going to be a vertical smoker with a small footprint for easy storage with the fire in a basket at the bottom. It has since been...

    Hi from the UK

    Hi all from Norwich in the UK. I am 26 and a product designer. I like building and tinkering with things and love food! There isn't anywhere to eat real bbq around me so I will have to do it myself! I have always loved grilling outdoors but I am new to bbq and am about to make my first small...
