DONT use that 3/8” for outer shell. Use 1” insulation for pipe inner. Will be 1” in 4 places but a...

    Wood Rack

    Agreed on waste of space. I went through same decision and bought flat rack with sides off amazon. Keeps plenty of wood handy near smoker and its currently mixed with oak and cherry. Easy to get access to both. You can see in background here

    Separating flat and point

    Leave it together for cook. This helps protect flat during cooking process. You can separate once flat is done with no issues and I have done many times. Wrap flat then sprinkle some more rub on cut part from point while it finishes

    Outlaw style offset build

    Update on build. Since I couldnt get FB side hot enough I removed vertical insulated wall and replaced with a 3/8” piece that was cut to sit 1/4-1/2” above grate level. Hoping this balances out temps. Also got handle mounted as well as damper handles. Built grates out of 1/2” round bar. Plan to...
