    Using a grease screen near a wood fire?

    We seem to go through one about every 6 months just using it in the house over a skillet, so I wouldn't think they would hold up to well next to that much heat. As far as the smell, more than likely just the protective coatings burning off. At least they are cheap enough so you can try it. If...

    My First Build

    I have to agree with the rest, really like those hinges. Glad to see that they come apart, in case they need some service. Look forward to seeing this progress and more pics.

    An old smoker gets moved over to a big boy trailer.

    Hey Tom, I will talk to him Tuesday night and find out if he still wants them. You have made a lot of progress in a short amount of time. Looking real good with the sides on. Pretty amazing how it looks now compared to what you started with.

    Hello from anther Kansas City boy

    Welcome. I am on the border of KC and Independence also. Like the others said, getting to be a bunch of us from the metro area. What are you smoking for the KC-Denver game? How about a bronco. Looking forward to some qview.

    That tube is a great idea. Looks like it works.

    New project as a humble beginning

    I am using heavy gauge exhaust tubing that is galvanized. I don't have any of it inside the cook chamber, so I feel it is safe. Mine has a coating that built up on it from the the first time that I did a burn. The outside of the pipe has not discolored so I would assume it is not getting hot...

    An old smoker gets moved over to a big boy trailer.

    I thought I was the only one that had a life like that. The boards must be really wet. I put up cedar on my fence, butted the boards as tight as I could get them and got about a 1/16th gap between them after they weathered a coupled of months. At least you have a plan to tighten them up after...

    UDS from salvage parts- Finished! New pics.

    That looks really good. Nothing better than building some thing nice without a lot of expense. Now we need to see it in action.

    An old smoker gets moved over to a big boy trailer.

    Looks like you are off to a great start Tom. You got more ambition than I do right now. Have you considered LED lights. If you needed to run on battery power, they will last for a long time without much drain on the battery. I have a couple of long under hood LED lights that put out more light...

    first smoker build

     First, let me welcome you to the SMF. Your build looks great. How well is it working? Would like to see some more pics of the insides of the cook chamber and firebox. And definately some qview of the meat.

    Need some advice before I go too far

    Here is a link on tuning plates. This has to be the best decription I have seen or read. http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/forum/thread/54542/building-an-italian-offset-smoker This should clearly explain the tuning plates. Starting at post #3, you will find your answer.

    Need some advice before I go too far

    I agree with Adichiro, add a plate that angles down to the lower 1/3 of the cook chamber, or at least below the cooking grate. Tuning plates that extend out away from the firebox will help spread the heat more evenly. If you can lower the exhaust down to grate level, that will help to. Keep...

    160ish gallon RF smoker #1 of 4

    Hey Duck, I know the the feeling. Halloween eats up a lot of my time. Gotta build something new each year. Can't let the neighbor hood kids down. Keep us posted. I like Toms idea too. Let us know how it works.

    new 250 R.F build

    Must be a body man thing. That is what I do for a living, and built mine with a minimum of tools at home too. Mainly a grinder, cut off blade in circular saw, and Lincoln wire feed. Looking good.

    What's in your smoker....RIGHT NOW?? If it's empty, just say empty (shame on you, you know who you a

    Right now I've got an empty smoker, a full belly, and a fridge full of flavorful thighs, rib trimmings, a little bit of brisket, a little bit of butt, and some brats. I think I will have enough for lunch this week.

    Deep Fried Ham with fry-view???

    That sounds and looks awesome. I have a turkey fryer that only gets used a couple times a year. Looks like you taught me another thing to try.
