    Calling all welders, Looking for a machine!

    So I am not a welder, I don't even know how to weld, but I want to learn. It seems I could save time and money on my build if I could just weld myself. I just want to know if anyone has any experience with the Chicago Electric welders from harbour freight. Is it a decent welder to start and...

I do however have a quick couple questions that maybe someone can help with. I sent my firebox plan to the fabricator and he sent back the drawing below. I think i...

    Gary, That's what I'm hoping for. How long did it take to get that temp up?

    Thanks Gary, I never thought about the upper intake but I think that it will make a great difference. What style of air control do you have on your smoker? I was pleasantly surprised when I went to see it. The guy just needed it out of the yard. I'm always looking for a good deal! Lol point...

    This helps tremendously and I REALLY appreciate the feedback and Ideas. I understand that this is not a traditional build build but my vision is much greater than just the smoker and in order to make the vision work and maximize space on the trailer I had to look at this option. Here is the...

    New RF build calculations help

    Dave, That makes sense and I will plan on adding the upper air intake. Now that I think of it the last build I did I do have a hard time getting the smoke into the chamber in the beginning of a smoke. May have to modify that one as well. SJ, I will probably look at a plate that look similar to...

    Dave, thanks for the input, what does the second intake accomplish? SJ, thank you!!!! I understand that feldons is for a traditional offset, I was just trying to get close and see what the feedback would be. I am not sure about the RF plate, should it be? that sounds like it would be the most...

    New RF build calculations help

    I am starting a new build, I have the bug after my first budget build. So hopefully I can get a little more input on this one than the last. It was still a blast and produces some good eats. My idea is i want a center feed RF. I have seen the ones where the CC sits directly on top of the FB. I...
