Hello all. I'm finally starting my smoker build! Got the steel for the structure. Will get the sheet steel when I am ready. I've modified the plans based on some Backwoods clone plans I downloaded from this site. It will be a built-in model in my backyard. I am sizing it with an extra...
Cool Wes, Thanks for the response. I have weathered some northeast winters before, and I don't think I want to do it again, so I'll pass on swapping weather with ya.
I am a civil engineer with some pretty good resources on the structural end so that shouldn't be a problem. Where I an lacking...
Wes, Greetings from Santa Maria on the California Central Coast. I live in what I call a climate controlled climate. Room Temp. plus or minus 20 degrees year round, can't complain.
Enough bragging about the climate I call home, and on to the Brick Smokers.
I am working on a plan for an...
Thanks Len, This looks like a cool project. Wes is right in saying that there is not a lot on the Web when it comes to smokers built of brick, and I have not seen anything about a reverse flow with a brick structure. Everything that I have seen made out of brick is more direct heat. It makes...
Hey all. I'm working on some plans for an out door kitchen that will include a reverse flow smoker. Some obvious pieces like the deflector plate, doors, and structural frame I plan on making out of steel, however I'm thinking that most of the structure will be made out of brick and concrete. ...
Hello all. I have been a member for a while but haven't check in in a while. So I figured I would hit the roll call to to reintroduce myself. Especially since I will likely be hitting up the forum quit a bit in the near future for advice on a brick and mortar reverse flow that I am working up...
Here in Santa Maria you can sometimes catch a supermarket with a standard cut interim mend for under $3 a pound. Typically it is in the $4 range for regular quality untrimmed. I usually pay a little extra from my butcher for good certified angus with the fat trimmed and pay $6.99 a pound. Most...
Thanks for the information Dave. I will look into the different temp control products. I like the idea of an RF and will probably go in that direction. I will post drawings when I start really working on it.
Dave, sorry for the wordy nonspecific question. Let me try again. I'm in the early planning stages of building a smoker as part of an out door kitchen for entertaining. Basically I want an outdoor oven with smoke. Something that I can set a few logs burning in, set the temp, and not have to...
Chef Willie, I do like the pinquito beans, with my tri-tip. If your son is rolling through town and wants to pick some up, strangely the best place I have found to get them is Von's Supermarket. The one on Broadway. Most other places don't have them.
Hey guys. I am looking at starting to design an outdoor kitchen complete with a Santa Maria Style BBQ grill (Open Pit), maybe a natural gas slide in grill, a wood fired pizza oven, and of course a smoker. I am a civil engineer and I have a AutoCadd program, so I plan on doing a pretty detailed...
Hey guys, I have been a member for a while, but haven't really posted anything lately. I have a few questions to ask about a smoker design that I am thinking about starting t owork on so I figure I would reintroduce myself.
I live in Santa Maria California. I have been using a Smoke Hollow...
Thanks for the reply.
Took a look at the link. Very nice build.
Since reading up a little more on the different types of smokers, I have decided to build a RF smoker, with the ability to be a Santa Maria style grill as well.
I am going to split the pipe, build 10" high walls around the...
Hello All. My name is Rodger, and I am a Civil Engineer from Santa Maria California. Santa Maria is famous for the open pit red oak BBQ, but I'm looking for a little variety. Me and a buddy are putting together a new pit for my back yard. It will work as a standard SM BBQ for oak wood, but...
I live in Santa Maria CA, where everything is grilled over an open red oak flame, with an adjustable rack, but I want some flexibility.
I have a buddy helping me build a Santa Maria style grill only with a cover, We are starting with a heavy gauge steel 20" pipe, and plan on using at a minimum...
