Side to side temp help
I just want to say thanks again for the help. The food turned out great. Well, at least that's what people told me. I didn't get any, but I did steal someone's plate so that I could at least get a picture before it was all gone. My brother fell in love with the smoker, so I'm going to go drop...- gbmworks

Side to side temp help
Luckily it's going to be 90 and sunny all day. Put the digital temp probes in the smoker this morning. I can't complain about this temp difference. This is just from when the smoker was warming up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk- gbmworks

Side to side temp help
My new gauges didn't come in yet, so I'm going to run and grab some digital probes from a local store for now. Other than that, I'm all set up and ready to wake up early and watch a fire for hours. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk- gbmworks

Side to side temp help
Welp..... I got home today and threw a fire in the smoker. I let it burn for an hour or two before checking the temps. Yup, 70* temp difference still. I switched the gauges side to side and still had a 70* difference. Except opposite sides!!! Yup, I'm thinking BIGEEE was right with the bad...- gbmworks

Thanks guys. I took the ol hot wrench to it and will hopefully have the fire box in its new location tonight. I'll throw a fire in it tomorrow after work and see how the temps are. I really appreciate the help!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk- gbmworks

Side to side temp help
Pit 4 brains and DaveOmak, these are my air intakes. The RF plate is actually 4" up from the top of the FB. Should I raise the FB up. So that the top of it is even with the RF plate? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk- gbmworks

Side to side temp help
Nothing fancy, just a standard RF. I fully welded the RF plate in and made sure it was water tight. I made it so that I could use the RF plate as a water pan if I wanted. I put a deflector plate in this morning, with no change to the temps. If someone has any other suggestions, I would REALLY...- gbmworks

Side to side temp help
I built a quick RF smoker out of scrap I had laying around last year. It is a 80 gal compressor tank with a 1/4" fire box and RF plate. I used the Feldon calculator for all the sizes and openings. I still have a 70* temp difference from side to side, with the FB side being the hotter. Will a...- gbmworks

The three month build
I figured out my favorite part of building a smoker. I call it the "stand around drinking a beer while someone else lays in the driveway spraying paint" part.- gbmworks

The three month build
Thanks for the kind words guys. Like most of the people here, I think I found a new obsession. Damnthatsgood, we took off the door catch, intake baffles, and chimney baffles to paint it. They'll all be going back on. The paint was still wet when I took those pic.- gbmworks

18 months. JJJJUUUUSSSSSSTTTT missed my three month estimate! Got some paint on it Tuesday. Finally looks like a smoker now. I guess for only getting to work on it a few hours a week, a year and a half isn't too bad.- gbmworks

The three month build
It's done! Well, almost. Still have to hit the whole thing with a flap wheel, paint it, wire the lights, and give it the boot out of my garage. But all of the metal work is done and everything works the way it should. This thing took ALOT longer then I thought it would, and it's going to be a...- gbmworks

Weev, It was a material management thing. With the way everything laid out on the plates I had, I would have needed another half a sheet if I made the back wall one solid piece.- gbmworks

The three month build
It's been another two months and I finally have something to post! Holy CRAP! It seems like I can never get time to work on it, or when I do, it's just fixing little things. Get ready to have your socks blown off, cause here comes the major update. Yup, it's been two months and I've built a...- gbmworks
