    Cajun Custom Cookers

    I messaged their Facebook page to ask how their tuning plates worked. Since they only have one exhaust I am interested in how they produce heat on the side opposite the firebox if the plate breaks seal on the firebox side and forces the draft up. I would love to see their set up. They have not...

    Extending the Oklahoma joe chimney stack question

    I didn't buy anything ammaturesmoker. As I said in an earlier post in this thread the cooker is my son-in-laws not mine I just modified it so it could breathe and perform as it should. This is an early model OK Joe the chamber is 3/16".

    Extending the Oklahoma joe chimney stack question

    I have no issues with the 4" exhaust I placed on the OK Joe it works quite fine at 24" tall. Reduce the intake and watch her idle with minimal fuel usage it is all in balancing the cooker.

    First build

    In my opinion you have better control of left to right heat with tuning plates over a fixed reverse flow plate cooker. I have built and cooked on both and the grate temps do not lie.

    First build

    Complacency is the # 1 killer in propane assisted accidents. I have never and will never install a gas assist in one of my cookers. If a buyer wants one they need to look elsewhere for the install.

    First build

    I am not a big fan of home made propane cookers unless you have some safety devices in place such as thermocouples and safety valves to shut off the gas in case the flame goes out. I have seen pics of solid cookers with no doors left and folks burned bad from propane assisted cookers gone bad.

    Chime in...FOB ribs or not

    We cook ribs way more at competition than at home. We also cook strictly IBCA which the judges use a cheap plastic knife and fork as the judges are not allowed to touch the meat with their hands. The struggle for us is when we cook IBCA they are 3 to 3.5 hour FOB ST. Louis cut ribs then when we...

    1st smoker build too late but still wanna know

    If you go with a 1.5" drain get a 1.5" nipple about 3" long and cut the threads off one end. Measure the ID of the nipple and cut that size hole in the bottom of the chamber once this is done align the nipple over the hole on the bottom and weld it out. For the bottom of the firebox and the...

    1st smoker build too late but still wanna know

    I would have at least a 1.5" drain I prefer 2". For the exhaust when you say lid are you referring to the door? If so I would not advise that. I do prefer my exhausts as high as I can get them so for me on the end or just behind the door if it would fit would be my option but the end I would...

    Bolt it down and go. Your true weight is low what you need to watch is if your springs are stretched you may need to up the springs to 2400's
