    60 gallon build with woodstove Update- Are Cast Iron Wheels Strong Enough??

    I ran the numbers for a Lang 48 which is 24" x 48" with an 18" x 18" firebox and it came out at 80% so I think I should be alright.

    60 gallon build with woodstove Update- Are Cast Iron Wheels Strong Enough??

    I ran my numbers on the feldons pit calculator.  60 gallon cook chamber with 16 x 20 firebox and it says I am 13% too small on the firebox. I know a little too big would be ok but how much can I get away with on the small side?.

    Weber conversion

    In your defense Ribwizzard, those Chinese/Japanese soup spoons are a little awkward to use   They do make a really nice presentation though, bet they'd work great for smoked oyster shooters.

    Tips / Tricks / and where to get Smoker Building parts and pieces

    Have also wondered why there was no thread or section for this topic.   There will be a difference between the member building a "one off" and the member trying to build multiple units.                              When I was looking for spring handles I found this company in southern...

    Fatties and Beans on the UDS with QVIEW!

    Looks tasty! I have yet to do a fatty, seems every time I get the ingredients they get used for something else- ABT's etc.  Freakynorn,  wondering about that stainless pan your cooking your beans in. Do you keep that pan just for using in your smoker ?  I have always just used cheap aluminum...

    110 MIG Welding Outside Advice -Gas vs. Fluxcore?

    Apologies for not updating this post. I bought a little used Lincoln Weld-Pak 100 for I think it was $75  It has worked well on my mini build, I got a cart and tank with it.

    60 gallon build with woodstove Update- Are Cast Iron Wheels Strong Enough??

    Help identifying fake bhut jolokia

    Thanks for the help. Red Caribbean they are!  I was a little peeved as I went back to the nursery where I bought them and showed them pics of the fruit to try and determine what they actually were. They swore up and down that those were some beautiful Bhut Jolokia peppers!. I have used one small...

    I had planned on waiting till spring for my next build but I have to look at this tank and wood stove every time I walk outside.  Something about the style of the wood stove and the shape of the tank  (and a couple barley soda's) inspired me to draw this sketch. I would really like to have a...

    Scuba tank mini reverse flow - first build

    Gary I found your build thread for the smoker in your avatar. I did not really "get" the firebox design until I saw the pic of it without the top. I really like that firebox-well the whole thing is cool but the firebox is really unique. , I think the best description of the square section on the...
