    Automatic Meat Slicer

    Billman, your location isn't listed and I'm in North Carolina, USA so this may or may not help you. For what it's worth, the technique is often called freezing to a "frost crust" and is often used for any thin slicing job whether by machine or by hand. The Hobart 1712 Rexster mentioned is a...

    Really nice design and nicely executed. I really like the door handles. Where did you get them? Lance

    120gal build

    That was just a semi-educated guess but the 120 gallon tank surely falls into the "short and fat" category and likely would work well with a smaller opening than the calculator would indicate so perhaps a private message to Dave Omak would get some info as to whether the opening should be...

    120gal build

    Good morning, titch and welcome from North Carolina. Where are you at? As I understand things the size of the firebox to cook chamber opening generated through the calculator is a minimum size recommendation. I'm unaware of a larger opening causing issues but the lower exit velocity may be an...

    JC in GB 250 Gallon Reverse flow offset smoker build

    JC, when welding two parts of differering thicknesses put moost of the heat on the thicker member. In the case of 1/8" wall tube to plate I'd likely have 3/4" of the heat on the plate and just be looking for the edge of the weld puddle to wash onto the tube. As far as a guide for the corner...

    JC in GB 250 Gallon Reverse flow offset smoker build

    Looking good so far! I don't want to have to muscle that firebox around though.... You might want to build a jig to make welding all those outside seams easier. I plan to make something similar to the one in the thread linked below but long enough to span the longest side of the firebox as I...

    The week before last I was quoted over $600 for HRPO (hot rolled, pickled and oiled) 4x8' sheet of 1/4" steel that was roughly $230 a few years ago. And those prices were from a couple of suppliers so they would seem to be pretty standard for small orders. I used to think $6 to $6.50 a square...

    How to Crisp the Skin on the Offset Smoker (P Belly)

    All-righty then.... Although I'm new to the party on pork belly, I have a whole skin on belly cut into three pieces in the freezer to try my hand at porchettas. Done right the skin pretty much shatters when the knife first hits it. Even though Nancy and I both grew up in the Buffalo, NY...

    Thanks. By the way, I'm embarrassed for you that you have a nasty Spectrum 875 cluttering up the shop. Feel free to box it up and ship it to me if you need more space and want to avoid the stigma. :emoji_wink: I've had a Hypertherm Powermax45 XP on back-order for 5 weeks and they're saying...

    RF air tank build

    Good morning, John There's a much better calculator than Feldon's right at the top of this forum. As a general rule the firebox wants to be at least 1/3 the volume of the cook chamber and long skinny tanks like yours do better with a bit more than that as the calculator here shows. I'm not...

    Good morning, JC 1/4" steel weighs a bit over 10 pounds per square foot so 700 pounds indicates around 70 SF of steel. Can you share your design? And what are you concerned with being able to repair? What plasma cutter are you using? And what welder? Thanks,

    MES 30 Wings With Crispy Skin?

    My wife and I both grew up in the suburbs of Buffalo in the '60s and early '70s so we're pretty particular about wings. Chicken wings were inexpensive and were often sold for pennies a pound to cover the cost of the tray and wrapping they came on. And they were made in so many varieties by so...
