    Thanks still have to get the racks cleaned up and season it. Made a double rack with the upper removable for larger items. Have to get more pics together of the build. Made it to be towable and did a removable tongue just hope it rides OK.

    heating up to temp. question. HELP

    One thing I did add to my 4-1 was a 3/16 thick plate cut to fit under the cook grate of the fire box. It did a lot to keep from losing heat from the lid and direct it to the cook chamber.

    How did you come up with your screen name?

    I was a firefighter for 10 years and I'm 6'7'' tall. Bigugly was a nickname I was given on the fire department and it stuck. Now I still use it and just added smoker to the end. My new smoker is even named BIGUGLY SMOKER and it will be wood burned into the handle.

    heating up to temp. question. HELP

    Did you start with hot water? I would say open the stack and inlet all the way to get temp up then control by moving vent only. Leaving the stack full open for good draw. That's what I do with my smoke hollow 4-1. I mainly use it as a stick burner and have had at time to keep the fire box door...

    smoke hollow 4-in-1 combo grill

    I have this unit at this time and the only mods I did was take off the rubber feet on the lid and adjust the hinges to bring the lid down. Did have to add a Deflector plate at the inlet from the fire box to the cook chamber. I use it mostly as a stick burner and the flames liked to jump through...

    New grill &smoker, and first-time smoker operator

    Welcome to the forum. Qview is pictures of the items you smoke. And ribs like Baby backs are fairly easy I use the 3-2-1 method. Which is 3 hours smoked. 2 hours wrapped in foil. Then 1 hour back on the heat. Wrapping meats being cooked in foil after time in smoke helps to make them tender and...
