    My latest 120 gallon RF smoker

    I don't have a roller so it looks like I'm hammering. And you're right, it's not as bad as I made it sound. It still bothers me though. I guess a career in Marine Corps aviation maintenance leaves little room for error.

    My latest 120 gallon RF smoker

    I haven't cut the opening for the firebox yet so I couldn't weld ribs to the lid.

    My latest 120 gallon RF smoker

    At this point, the only cut was across the top of the cook chamber.

    My latest 120 gallon RF smoker

    Yes the door, not the tank. Not sure how far past flush as it was off the tank but I jacked it as far as I could get the jack to go, which wasn’t much, before it lifted off the floor.

    My latest 120 gallon RF smoker

    Well the old jack and chain method didn't work too well. It flexed but bounced back out once I released tension. I don't have a torch so that's not an option right now. But I am curious about something. If I line up 3 sides, couldn't I just grind the fourth side a little until it fits? Or would...

    When you say tack on the door all the way around, do you mean as if I were putting on the flange or around the curvature of the door?

    My latest 120 gallon RF smoker

    Help, I fear I'm making a mistake! So far I've only cut the line at the top of the CC and it has sprung up 1/4 inch towards the center. The hinges were tacked on once it was cut. I realize these tanks are under tension so is there anything I can do to prevent further misshaping? Or is this...

    I'm not sure why the formatting got all screwy.

    My latest 120 gallon RF smoker

    I picked this up from some dude on Facebook for free a couple of months ago and have been purging it ever since. So far I've ran my calculations and made some marks for the door and where the fire box will go. The hinges are not welded yet, just mocked up to check for clearance for the flange...

    First reverse flow smoker build - may have some questions

    This is slightly off-topic but how do you like that Vulcan welder? I've been looking at the multi-process model.

    Bone in Butt prep help

    Just FYI, I'm cooking an eight pound butt today that was in the freezer. I put it in the fridge Tuesday and by Friday morning it was completely thawed.

    Bone in Butt prep help

    Is the sell by or use by date later than the date you plan to cook? If so, I'd probably freeze and then thaw just to be safe. It shouldn't hurt to rub them that far in advance but if your rub has a lot of salt, a lot of liquid will be drawn out. I'm not gonna debate about the rub permeating the...

    Baby backs-Oklahoma Joe

    I like the smoke stack mod. How did you make it?

    Oklahoma joe highland question

    I agree. While you can use the main chamber as a grill, you have to be diligent about cleaning it. You can use the firebox as a grill if you're not cooking a large amount.

    Where to measure 225 temp?

    I'm no expert but I installed a temp gauge about 3 inches above the food grate on my OK Joe. My top gauges read 75 degrees hotter than the grate.
