We have pondered that for a while and tonight just grabbed a scrap piece of 3/8 cold roll and literally he took on end i took the other and we manually bent it around the outside ov the tank until we got the correct radius, welded in two tabs of cold roll, bent the prop rod, milled a...
Snails pace the last few days. We are going to start on the propane rail tomorrow, then mounting to the trailer, we will probably fire it in the next couple days to see if it will actually be able to cook something. I think its turning out ok for a bunch of junk laying...
Well, there is only one way to find out! I will be firing mine up in a few days, so if you havent decided what to do by then I can certainly take a vid or post some pics of how it works and we will see in the seperation is equal or not, but I certainly hope so!
We have gotten a little more progress done, its inching along right now, and I am having a terrible time finding rope seal, I went to every hardware store I could find! I think I'll be breaking down and ordering that via the internet!
We got a little more done tonight. Stopped early due to everyone just being tired, Long week! My propane parts come in, so next we are going to fab the 1-1/2 Stainless rail.
Tom,
That is one wicked rig! love it! ya know I have a DCS grill that was about 7k and I think I will use this smoker more than that. This is my personal first attempt at building a smoker, but I have been researching it for 5 years. I agree with you on the flow of smoke/heat. Im jumping to see...
I agree, and leveling is a big part, we talked about leveling devices on mine, but I felt too much on the build will make it look trashy, I might just level mine with shims under the tires, we thought about pipe jacks under each side and a deflecting moung to the axle. I also agree the stack...
Tom,
I think your message is right on, after looking at the build more, I think after preheat I can close the dampner almost all the way and let the smoke roll, I may be wrong, but if you look at the heat transfer area, I believe the transfer/convection will be awesome you will have center heat...
Sounds like we are on the same page! Have you looked at my build? Mine's just some old junk thrown together, but the more I look at the middle/lower fire box the more I like it, we cut in a dampner, but the heat transfer its self will be awesome. I also did a reverse flow type plate leaving both...
A little more progress tonight, we ran out of 3/8 cold roll steel for the grate, I never would have thought it would have taken more than 80 ft, I am going to have to pick up a 4" stainless short radius 90 for the stack, and a little more angle. I have all my propane parts ordered for the 1-1/2...
