    Building my first Smoker. Smoke Hollow 4-in-1 47183T

    I have the smoke hollow 4 in 1, the 2012 model from SC.  Do spray the outside down! especially the firebox region.  Due to the heat it requires to get the smoker part up to temperature it almost bakes the paint off- I slacked off from spraying at as much as i should have- I have a bit of surface...

    Small 100lbs propane tank build

    wow, great looking que.   Just a note from looking at your photos.  I have melted my corded probe thermometers (the brain part) by having it close to the cooking chamber-  I have also burned through the corded probe as well.  I would recommend maybe making a little wood box or something to...

    Newbie - "Cut Case" Smoker Build

    Hi, looks like it will be a great build already. A note on durock-- built a roof on my smoker out of durock recently- but i almost got the wrong type.  the home center had a slightly lighter type (darker grey) had styrofoam pieces strewn throughout it (recommended for a bathroom floor i think)...

    cheap and reliable place for wood ?

    Hi, A friend of mine from church trims trees- I get all my wood from him for free in return for some bbq, its a fair trade off for sure.  I would hope most tree trimmers know their tree type by look.  I am sure any tree trimmer would be up for making a few bucks selling the lumber.  I would...

    Offset Concrete Block Hog Smoker

    Hi Staredat, I built a block smoker earlier this year (different design than yours) and so far have not had a brittle block issue. Note i say so far.  I did burn my wood roof off- it smoldered all night and the blocks on my top course were brittle.  You will know your blocks are bad if you...

    smoke hollow 4-in-1 combo grill

    Great comment about wood used.  I was using either store bought chunks (hickory) or hickory mini logs,  When compared to wood you cut yourself, kiln dried burns quicker and hotter-   I should have mentioned- i also made a charcoal baseket from expanded steel- that helped me get alot closer to...

    smoke hollow 4-in-1 combo grill

    That about summarizes my experience with the offset Smoker I followed some mods that another did on the forum-  it helped but i guess i was impatient;)  I just built my own block smoker and i use the 4in1 as a grill- or for smoking something quicker like a slab of ribs-  I do however want to...

    SMOKER CLEANING

    SMOKER CLEANING

    Another helpful tip- I purchased the $4 pack of wire wheels from harbor freight- the ones you can put in a drill.  Lets say even the most difficult grime comes off with ease on my expanded steel grates-  Otherwise i bought some welding wire brushes at harbor freight and give them a good scrub...

    Block Smoker Build in MI

    So I fired it up to season the new plate in the roof.  I decided to throw on half a chicken and a lamb breast.  I cooked on a minion method of mostly charcoal a few hickory chunks.  Really this as more a test run than finished product.  ALso this was directly over the coals, no water pan to...

    Stainless steel muffler smoker !

    Thats an epic exhaust!  if it stands 8' tall you will need a transforming ladder to reach the top shelf.  I suggest trying to fab an autobots logo to put on it when complete.
