    Yes this actually clears it up. Picture 1 is exactly what had in mind. Thanks.

    Need some help with this old workhorse

    This is great help everyone and seems fairly straight forward. So to summarize, move exhaust to back, insert baffle plate, build rib box on front with a plate to open and close access to rib box. And if I want a holding box build it over the fire box with no smoke access and it should stay...

    Need some help with this old workhorse

    So this explains a lot. So the box at the front is a holding box and the one at the back is the rib box? This is pretty much what I want to do. So how do I convert the cc to reverse flow?

    Need some help with this old workhorse

    So the inside is just hollow with one grate I can probably fir 8 pork butts or 5 to 6 brisket on. I want to build a box with 6 racks that will fit 6 racks each. Not sure which end I should weld it to. Welding it over the fire box seems like it might get too hot? Also wondering what's wrong with...

    Need some help with this old workhorse

    Building a smokehouse out of a horse trailer

    Thanks Bonz.  Do you think that panelling will take 275-300F with melting or burning?

    Building a smokehouse out of a horse trailer

    A couple other things i have been wondering: should i insulate the inside of the smokehouse, as horse trailers are made of sheet metal ? should i have the firebox in or out of the smokehouse? if i line the inside with cedar will it take temps of 275F without catching on fire?

    Building a smokehouse out of a horse trailer

    Thanks Dave.  Yes, it would have to be completely gutted and painted.  I have seen kitchens built in horse trailers, but i just want the smokehouse in it.  I think it should work but wonder if there is something i haven't thought of.

    Catering Question

    I own 2 large catering companies. I would be happy to answer any questions you have. To answer your question though, 10 seems low but would depend on what is included Everything costs money including you. Figure out you cost per plate and times by 4. That will give a very rough idea where to...

    Building a smokehouse out of a horse trailer

    Ok, I really need some quality input here. I have 2 catering businesses and do a lot of ribs, brisket etc and need a bigger smoker. I it is more convenient for me to build a smokehouse on a trailer than on the ground for a few reasons. I have been thinking of building one on a flat deck. But...

    Griny rub after 6 hours

    Thanks for the advice.  How often should i be mopping?  I don't actually have a smoker.  I am using my trailer grill.  It is 7 ft* 2ft and has lots of room for coals, although it seems to go through the wood and charcoal fast probably because of the open space under the burners.  But i can...

    Griny rub after 6 hours

    I need some advice on rubs.  I have a rub recipe that I like but after 6 hours in the smoker (spare ribs) the rub is still grainy.  I mop every hour or so with a beer based baste but the graininess is still there.  Is this normal or am I missing something?

    Brick smoker - Compete how to

    Do you need to have this even if built on concrete?

    Brick smoker - Compete how to

    Ok, so I am new to this so sorry if this a stupid question.  What are all the blocks for in the ground?  Is that just because your ground was doff and sandy?  If I build one on concrete do I still need that much of a base?
