I got by BelFab from Craig last year. It’s a massive towable one with a flattop and warming box, only 4500 it was an amazing price and solid as you can get. His builds are a bit rough, but they are as dependable snd solid as you can get. For a patio version you’d really get an amazing price and...

That's sweet. Take a look at some of my other builds if you can access my uploaded media. This is my first cook on this smoker after building it, each build seems to have their own quirks and character about the way they cook. My latest cooks quick, gets to temp fast, and pretty much stays...

...need some help along the way. Firstly, I have a few questions. I was kindly referred to a calculator for offset reverse flow smoker builds, and I've looked at the normal unidirectional vs reverse flow offsets, and I wanted to ask if there is any benefit to having the variable temp zones in...

Well, one last update before this year's snow-mageddon arrives LOL! We've had 2 really pretty days here in NE Oklahoma - high temp yesterday was in the upper 50's. And today was even warmer - nearing mid 60's this afternoon. But tonight, the bottom falls out! This is apparently a pretty big...

There are a lot of talented folks on here with build info… I’m sure some will chime in, but you may have better luck with responses posting in this area… https://www.smokingmeatforums.com/forums/smoker-builds.197/post-thread

Hey Mike, glad you found us. Plenty of info on building smokers in this forum, but ask away because there is a vast knowledge on this subject here...

They probably last TOO long, so the used ones move around and not many get sold new in a given year, driving up the unit price. (Even the nicer BBQ restaurants don't seem above recommissioning a used one.) It appears the trailer incarnation of this one may have tacked on $10k to the price...

There are a ton of threads on smoker builds using pellet hopper you can buy, as well as new electric with auber PUD controllers. So you're just using that metal box. Over at meatgistics dot waltons dot com. I was gonna link a good one but recall owner doesnt like folks linking to info...

Thanks Robert…..need to swing for the fence right? This one should get lots, cause any smoked or grilled item will work right…..we all should just have a pre-printed card and set it by all our cooks over the next couple of weeks and just submit the best pic….. easy piezy….. Oh yes I have been...

I would enjoy doing some full builds in the future and I appreciate your perspective on the whole thing. It would be great to see some pictures of your patio. Thanks for the feedback.

Those are pretty sweet little cookers thanks for sharing…..just be warned that you start off small……but the desire to go big gets hard to fight off….. See you start off like this…. Which leads to this……. Which caused this……. Then you are left with…….what’s next……

Hey all, after searching for brick smoker builds and finding that they all pretty much lead back to this forum, I figured I should just start at the source with my questions! I'm interested in building an offset vertical brick smoker, very similar in design and concept to steveaggie's build. It...

Greetings and welcome to SMF Currently in FL for the winter but go back to farming in MN for the summer. No livestock, just wheat, soybeans, and sugar beets. A couple of moderators on the forum raise hogs. Don't know much about the various breeds so I had to search out Mangalitsa. Quite the...

I had an Old Country Brazos before the Franklin. It had a damper in the door and I always cooked with it 1/2 open. Never had any reason to vary that setting. If I opened it up wider, or cracked the door open, it increased air flow into the cooker. And that smoker has this baffle on the...

Nice lookin smoker... I've read a few brick builds ... If I remember they said start with really small fires this helps the curing of the cement process... I know it takes 28 days for cement to cure properly ... Good Luck with it and will be watching...

I have no chimney on my oven. All air in and out to the oven goes through the door opening. The door to roof height ratio is critical for proper heating and cooking in this type of oven. JC :emoji_cat:

So, last Sunday I managed to burn a pretty good fire after using some of your advice.... I burned a smaller, denser coal bed, right up at the back of the firebox and managed to maintain it there with very little unburnt charcoal pieces at the end. I'm in email exchanges with the smoker builder...

I have modified/expanded a wood stove but never built a smoker. if you don't find what you are looking for you might get some input here. https://www.smokingmeatforums.com/forums/smoker-builds.197/

I am getting ready to build a trailer smoker, this is my first build so I want it to be correct. I have done some research and would like someone whos done a build to double check before I proceed with fabrication. Below is what I have came up with using the feldon calculator. This will be a...

I start my fires with a chimney of lump.
