    Cleaning a smoker can anyone tell be the best way,

    "Simple Green" spray is a safe product that works well.  Spray it down, and let it sit a few minutes then hose off with a high pressure nozzle.  You may need to do it a couple times, but it works well.  You will want to re-season it immediatly afterwords.

    Insulated Smoker Build HELP

    Insulating everything you can will help with heat loss.  Price and weight wise you will have to decide how much to do.  I am just doing my firebox since my cook chamber is 5/16 steel. I am using Mineral wool for insulation.  We have about 1/2 of an inch space between our inner and outer walls. ...

LOL I figured out today that we will have 3200 sq inches of grill space in the main chamber, and 1800 sq inches in the warming box.  Should be enough for two whole100 pound...

    Ok all you engineers, I need your help

    Yes the black is the firebox and main cook chamber.  I will get some heat transfer from the firebox itself, but there is nothing more than radiant heat there.  The small angular lines represent butterfly valves.   There will be two five inch stacks eventhough there is only one depicted.  My goal...

    Ok all you engineers, I need your help
