    Adding ducting to the inside of my Horizon smokestack

    Wow what a fantastic video, I so wish I knew how to weld!! So it seems like, if I understand this correctly, I not only need a 90 but a double 90 so the open end of the pipe is parallel with my grate. Right now, based on another mod I saw, the open end of my 90 is sitting flat flush on the...

    Adding Probe Port to Horizon Pit

    Smoking Okie, it is tough. I just installed two add’l thermometers in the door and it took 3 step bits to get the 2 - 7/8” holes drilled. All three bits are toast but, I don’t think it will be as difficult installing the probe gland as it’s not double steel like the main door. But from what I...

    Adding ducting to the inside of my Horizon smokestack

    Happy Canada Day and July 4th to everyone. I’m really happy with my 10yr old Horizon offset and have it dialed in for my needs, but it’s always fun to tinker with some new mods. One addition I have seen on some other brands of offset’s is the addition of a galvanized 90 degree elbow inserted...

    Adding Probe Port to Horizon Pit

    Based on info from the forum I bought one of these for my Horizon 16. They make actual ports for probes but this is nearly the same but much more affordable. uxcell Stainless Steel 6.0-12.0mm M20 Cable Gland Connector with Locknut

    This must be my day for questions. I am also thinking about adding some adhesive backed gasket material to the top section of my horizon door, it leaks very little but I just want to putter. I'm wondering if assuming I follow the degreasing suggestions, if using the adhesive in the backing...

    Horizon Offset - wheel change or rubber belting added

    Not sure if anyone has made a mod to their choo-choo train style wheels on their offset smoker but I need to make a change. I have the Horizon 16 with the steel spoke rims and I think the smoker runs around 400+lbs. With an old driveway I did not care about the grooves in the surface but we...

    Is high temp silicone required for new temp probes?

    Hi all, I'm adding two more through door dial gauges in my Horizon offset. I don't have a tapping set so I will be using the washer and nuts supplied, do I need that high temp food safe silicone or does the nut clamp down pretty good? I have some gaps where the smoke escapes so a little will...
