    New reverse flow build

    You want to make sure its tall enough to keep the smoke from blowing in your face or clouding around too much, especially at start up when its really chugging white smoke.

    The problem with this smoker is that the firebox dia. Is way too small. By the time you get a big enough fire, the flames will be hitting the top of the firebox and will never breath good enough to do any good. Thats why they had to run a 2nd fire inside the cook chamber.

    Ive always liked building a square firebox over using a tank. Fiqure that by the time you find one with a diameter big enough, its way too long. So by the time you cut it and shorten it, frame in a door, fiqure out how to mount it to the cooking chamber, make air intakes , etc. Its less work to...

    Firebox door gasket & adhesive..

    Long term, nothing is going to last on the firebox. Best to fabricate it with the tightest steel to steel seal you can get, then dont worry about a tiny bit of air leak. You really dont want to be in the middle of a cook a year from now, with hundreds of dollars worth of meat on there , and all...

    Smoking First Flat Brisket

    What I like to do if just cooking the flat is get the smoker at 275 , toss the flat on there fat side up for just a minute, flip it and season the bottom, then flip and season the top. ( just warming the meat, not browning it) then pay more attention to the crust rather than the temp. When it...

    This is what I really want to build if I find a good tank before I get too far.

    No, probably going to run them length wise in the tank with the " point" up. Thinking it will help trap more heat under them, absorbing more before it goes out the exhaust

    Which Welder

    Im going to chime in here and recomend lincoln 180 duel current for the home owner. Being portable and able to plug into any 110 outlet is very nice, and when used on 220 it really can lay down some wire for the bigger jobs. Being a pro mig, it burns a heck of a lot better on 110 than those box...

    Hey Dave. Im thinking of shortening the trailer so that it ends right before the firebox. Pushing the smoker back to be a bit more centered on the trailer and raise it up some. Im probably just going to do a traditional offset smoker, but use some 2" angle ran length wise from the firebox to...

    I got this one a few months back and been holding off doing anything with it thinking I might come across a virgin tank. But. Since I haven't, I'll go ahead and redo this one. Ive seen a few built like this locally, so someone must be building them and selling them around here. Obvious that it...
