bigbill,
We are doing a reverse flow which means the temps in the main chamber should similarly regulated throughout. I was kind of under the impression that the temperature control is done by regulating the fire temp. We are going to incorporate a auto temp control system to regulate the temps...
30" pipe my uncle said we can use for another smoker! His place is a gold mine of scrap metal! guess I'll have to start planning the next one... or I'll focus on finishing the task at hand.
Let the build begin!
Things accomplished today:
Learned to MIG weld and use a plasma cutter today.Learned not to grab a piece of steel after its been welded or torched... Got the top of the door cut as picturedfabricated and tacked the hinges on (forgot to take a pic before I left)
Happy with...
Great idea Teesquare... have you seen any circular firebox builds which had a rib box like you're describing?
Dougmays,
Before today I was convinced there would be no way for us to build a trailer. However, my uncle showed me how to MiG weld this morning and I was pleasantly surprised how easy...

I realize this is an older post but I just stumbled on a bacon weaving tutorial as I was researching what the heck a fatty is. You can find it here:

THANKS!
Sunman,
We are having issues procuring a trailer. Used utility trailers go for no less then $400 in our area. Any advice on finding one cheaper or any other mobile options?
We will definitely think about lowering the smoke stack. Ill have to look around at some other RF builds...
I have...

A little about me... I am a mechanical engineering senior at Penn State Harrisburg. ALMOST FINISHED! I am also the process engineer at Clair Global. I have done a few...
Woo! Let the build begin! I'm the other brother by the way...
Does anyone have any feedback on door size/location? I have read that you should avoid cutting the bottom of the door any lower then half way down the front of the tank because fat could run down the door and out the bottom. The...
