    Building a smoker

    Water is a great heat regulator. Meaning an open pot of water on the stove will never get above 212 degrees until all the water is gone. Sounds like you want to create something similar?

    Gravity Feed Smoker build ?'s

    That too is a good idea. One can place a pan on top of the c channel closer to the opening. Filling with bottle water, beer, Apple juice etc. I'm not an expert as I don't do this for a living. More of a monkey see monkey do. But that is how we learn. I would love to tag along with a film...

    Brisket....It's what's for dinner tomorrow.

    OMG you trimmed fat because your doctor said so? Just kidding, it must have been super thick, I never trim, but might grill it a bit. Try a couple rosemary leaves, not much as its super strong. It grows like a bush in my front yard, I will toss some fresh cuttings in the fire near the end...

    Gravity Feed Smoker build ?'s

    Similarly to a reverse flow smoker, there is a transfer plate. Mine uses C channel to help in an even transfer. Notice the bottom plate.

    Gravity Feed Smoker build ?'s

    Dave do those rules apply to a gravity feed system? With the fire box full of say charcoal, the idea is to control the rate of burn by limiting air. Or are you referring to the hole size from the fire box to the cook chamber

    Gravity Feed Smoker build ?'s

    The fire box has sealed door panels. This forces the fire/heat out into the cook chamber. As for size of fire box, really depends on how long between refills you want to go. You can control the burn rate with a bbq guru. The cook chamber must be insulated to help in keeping everything...

    You are going to need to make a youtube video on this thing. Being so big, it's hard to see all the details that go into making one

    Day 9-10-11 Sunday had to get more sanding disc and cutoff wheels for the grinder. Monday picked up another 10' of 2x2 Got the rest of the frame peices installed around fire box. Then the frustration begins. Cutting 45 degrees to box in the door frame. These go on the frame for the doors...

    New build. Vertical gravity feed smoker with side firebox in one cabinet. Insulated and on wheels

    Thanks. It a lot of work for sure. Once I use it I can see if the c channel needs some adjustments. I could extend the sides down right at the fire box. The idea is that plate you see on the bottom should direct the heat sideways

    New build. Vertical gravity feed smoker with side firebox in one cabinet. Insulated and on wheels

    Day 8 Not sure where the day went, but I did work on it all day.    Got the bottom  sheet metal installed along with the feet and casters. I finished up the fire box, which took a lot of time to get just right.   Can't see it in the pic but I cut the C channel down the middle and installed...
