    Baffle plate/fat catcher in vertical warmer box/cook chamber

    Decided not to cut baffle plate in half and re weld so fat falls to centre, just tapered the baffle plate by 10mm which gave it a slight fall from one end to the other. Spent several more hours grinding rust and cleaning oil/grease out before welding in baffle plate and fat outlet. Made my dam...

    Baffle plate/fat catcher in vertical warmer box/cook chamber

    Weekend so far has been pretty big, adjusted and welded on the FB hinges, discovered baffle plate had pretty horrible smelling paint so spent couple hours to sand it off pre installing it into the CC. Tacked on the FB to the CC then spent along time figuring out angles of flue. 10 cuts later got...

    Baffle plate/fat catcher in vertical warmer box/cook chamber

    Welded on front of box, grinding, welding and more grinding, sanding:) steel for door had a 1/8 bow up so clamped to bench, tack welded then welded on the sides which acted as a strong back/lintel . Welded the back of the door on and it held straight when I cut the door off the table. Next job...

    Baffle plate/fat catcher in vertical warmer box/cook chamber

    I have welded up some angle and have some flat bar that slides back and fourth so can be adjusted for how open/closed it is. Are you meaning concerned about slide gate between cook chamber and WB next to flue or directly above FB?

    Baffle plate/fat catcher in vertical warmer box/cook chamber

    I like that idea, need to come up with some sort of adjustable latch to hold the handle at either full open or on an angle as you suggest. Thanks

    Baffle plate/fat catcher in vertical warmer box/cook chamber

    Progress today. Boxed out and welded frame, insulated( probably not necessary but used up some scrap) and welded on the front of the fire box. Tomorrow need to grind back and then fill any pin holes then start on the door

    Baffle plate/fat catcher in vertical warmer box/cook chamber

    Hi guys, I am into my reverse flow offset smoker and have some questions regarding the cook chamber I am putting above the FB. I have 2 x 6 inch flues between the FB and warming box. I want to be able to use it as a warming chamber and as a vertical smoker. Was thinking I would install a baffle...

Going to aim to put baffle plate in this week, have two options , 8 mm (3/8)high tensile steel or 5 mm (not quite 1/4..) mild steel. The 8mm I will need to cut in half and install a piece of angle or the 5mm I can have pressed...

    Trailer mounted reverse flow smoker with warmer box and pizza oven

    Thanks for that, looks very similar to what I’m wanting to build. Looks like it has double vent from fire box as well as another one from the cook chamber. Do you know where the exhaust came out from the main cook chamber..? Cheers

    Trailer mounted reverse flow smoker with warmer box and pizza oven

    I originally drew it just like you have described I was originally going to have the pizza oven directly above the fire box however due to the temp I would need to run it thought it would turn the warmer box above into another cook chamber. The pizza oven would probably have its own fire in...

    Trailer mounted reverse flow smoker with warmer box and pizza oven

    Hey there, I have finally found a domed tank in NZ after hunting for one for the last 3 years and am starting my long awaited trailer mounted smoker. I am after some advice on the chimney and a couple of other things also. As I am building a warmer box directly above the firebox I can’t run the...
