JarJar,
I cut my tank apart with a 7 1/4" circular saw loaded up with a 1/8" wide cutoff disk. If it is not lined up correctly when you start out, it is difficult to correct. BUT if you get it right and keep it right (check your work every few inches and correct early) you will get a very good...
The burn out fire burned down, so I washed out the interior & trued up the legs (one was a little long). I found a little tweak is needed on the cook chamber door. It still closes tight, but rubs just a bit. Just a little touch with the grinder and all will be good to go. I am ready to begin...
The first burn went pretty well. I kept the chamber from getting over 600-degrees by moving the fire from side to side. The only issue I had was the cook chamber door hinges got tight when this dude was hot. Once it cooled down to 400-degrees or so, they loosened right back up. This is about...
Thanks for the reply... I seldom cook ribs. BUT I need to change this soon.
This is my quick & easy home brisket recipe.
The standard trim the fat, rub with mustard thing is common and normal. I rub with Montreal Steak Seasoning (good flavor). Smoke for 3 hours @ 250-degreees, move to foil...
Got a question to throw out there... How many of you actually use the dampener on the stack for control? Me, I use the air dampener to control the fire and leave the stack wide open. I sure would like to hear from you. About half of my smoking buddies don't use the stack dampener and the other...
This burn is gonna be just a 'burn it out' kinda thing. I plan on blocking the doors about 1/2 way up and pour the wood to it. I have a bunch of old lumber & pallets. Gonna burn in both chambers. Watch me warp the hell out of a perfectly straight smoker. But I've smelled that propane residue...
Thanks jarjar, I appreciate the good words... It kinda makes the time spent to stop and take pics worth it.. I know there are many views on many threads, but not many folks actually take the time to acknowledge others work. That is what a forum is all about, isn't it?
I like the firebox 'under' the cook chamber. Should draft like a son-of-a-gun, on a handful of coals. I was always told the only stupid question was an unasked one.... so here goes... Why are you sloping the RF Plate? Are ya looking to drain that much? Just asking cause I haven't welded mine in...
I'm done with the structural welding on the doors, I have a little finish work to do, but that's gonna wait 'til later.
Here's a few more pics..
I'm pretty happy with the handles as well. When I was heating the round bar to make the 90-degree bends I could grab the handles bare...
