Welcome from ND
@SmokinEdge has great insight on builds, might be something in here also to help ya.

It's on 6" pneumatic casters. I can move it around with two fingers. No issues at all.
Nope. Not even crossed my mind. It is so effortless to perfectly control temps with the micro valve for the propane, I'm perfectly fine with it as it is. Every smoker I've had for the past 12-15 years have...
Welcome from South Dakota, I echo the above sentiment by another member, cut your teeth on the cheaper cuts of meat like chuck roasts, you still get awesome flavor, similar cuts so you will get valuable experience and that builds confidence for when you want to dive all in with that spendy...

Welcome from Nova Scotia,
There are lots of great folks here that can help you with your builds
and share styles and types of foods to smoke . Love your train smoker

Thanks for providing the pics!
I think it would be fine. Having the vent/holes on the bottom would be key to me.
Then a 1/4-1/2 inch hole at the top of the door to help keep smoke moving through the box as it builds up (learned this from @daveomak I think).
The good thing about drilling...
I believe your smoker is simply not hot enough.
I took a quick look at the photos of it on the other thread. The diameter of the pit is relatively small and the pit is long. You'd be much better off with a larger diameter stack and stoke the fire.
My son has a stainless steel pit that is...
I agree with this one ( I have 2 and the makings for a third)... It's the homemade version of the 14" WSM... And can still use it as a regular grill as the lil smokey joe is not altered in any way... It really is the perfect smoker for camping as it is a 2-1 unit...
Very fuel efficient...
My first offset was a Char Broil. Yes the paint just came off. You can scrap, sand etc and repaint with a high temp paint. Because the metal is so thin on the Char Broil it will probably come off again on the firebox. When I had mine I did finally gave up on painting the fire box and just went...
I did some quick calculations on your unit. You have 61,581 cu. in. in your cook chamber. The recommendations on a reverse flow are cooking chamber cu. in. x .022 for the exhaust stack cu. in. All exhaust stack lengths are figured above the top of the cook chamber. You could use a 6" inside dia...
Old thread but I wanted to post an update. The builder picked the smoker up today, and is going to modify it. Aparently he modified his design based on my issues, and he is going to modify mine to be like the new ones he builds.
Basically what that means is he is going to cut the hood out...
Maybe @daveomak will chime in and tell you exactly what you need. I know he helps many others on this topic. I'm not sure where to tell you to look...have you tried search button or look through smokerbuilds?
Make sure to take pics...we wanna see also!

Bear Jr has to dress up the grounds, when he builds towers, and plant trees, and lay stone, etc, etc. Well he used to have a Cat Skid Steer, and his guys were tearing everything up, on the turns. LOL one wheel going one wa y & the other going the other way. So he got rid of the Cat & got the...
I have had a rack of dino’s that was gifted to me a while back. Thanks Robert, aka @tx smoker
I was waiting for something special, and our Grandson drove up from Delray Beach, to spend the weekend.
Perfect time to get these bad boy‘s out.
I did a bit of trimming to clean them up a bit, then...
After doing some digging I found a wealth of information it was under Smoking Supplies and Equipment > SmokerBuilds > Brick Smokers all I can say is WOW
SMF is #1 this puts me off to a good start. Looking forward to doing more reading, there needs to be more links online to SMF I guess I have...
Your reverse flow cooker is nearly the same size as mine. Mine has a 36" dia. cook chamber x 60" lg. The total internal dims of both are nearly the same. To answer a few of your ?? I would make a rectangle firebox at .333 the size of the cubic inches of your cook chamber. The size you have...
