    Maybe we should not talk about weight? Hahaha... It's a bit on the heavier side for a mini, but solid that's for sure.

    My new mini Tailgater sized Smoker

    Hi Motolife, not sure what CC actually means. I'm fairly new to smoking meats, and not sure of the nomenclature in the meat smoking realm. This smoker is fairly mini in size. The tank is only 14" long, and the smoke stack is 14" tall. The firebox box is made from 1/4" plate and is 8.5" X 7.5"...

    My new mini Tailgater sized Smoker

    This smoker was fun to fabricate took 4...1/2 days to build. Just painted it today and did a 5 hr season in burn with hickory after slathering the inside with bacon grease.

    New mini smoker build

    Decided to just use BBQ black. What do you all think? I slathered the inside with bacon grease and burned a bunch of hickory through it today. Worked great, no leaks and intake/firebox vs. Exhaust size seemed very good. With the air intake and exhaust fully open it created a blast furnace type...

    New mini smoker build

    Here is my mini tailgater size smoker build. Took 3 days to get this far, need ideas for paint. Does high temp engine paint work? Or are we stuck with BBQ high temp only? Still have wheels to add and a firebox door latch. I had so much fun building another big sized smoker that I decided to do a...
