    Need CC gasket advice

    my CC doesn't leak bad but I'd like to seal it better. 1/8" thick nomex was too fat. Is there a thinner gasket or a way to make my own? These are about to go on!

    Teach me how to smoke on my offset! Please?

    Yall are awesome. Thank you! I am hoping to cook this weekend so I'll try preheating my splits. It was a lot of trouble but I loved every minute of it. It was my first real welding project and I learned a ton! I love projects though. Since I didn't have any major work to do on my vw bus...

    Well, I cheated. I actually cooked its first unofficial meal on it last week prior to painting. It was opening day and I was anxious! This is the only pic I have. The sausage and wings were great, the ribs just ok. My first official cook will be this weekend. Thinking chicken.

    Teach me how to smoke on my offset! Please?

    Thanks, but do you add wood splits throughout the cook? Charcoal? Both? I calculated everything several times (and mr Dave reviewed my work in the reverse flow forum). I ended up going with the exact numbers from the calculations for everything. Actually, my fb is about 25% oversized but...

    Teach me how to smoke on my offset! Please?

    Here is my background.  I have owned a Big Green Egg for about 3 years.  I was getting bored and needed a project so I built a reverse flow out of a 33 gallon craftsman tank. I have used it twice.  It seems to be smoking waaatoo much but maybe I am just used to very minimal visual smoke because...

    My first build, help me please! reverse flow

    Done! Well, I still need to paint it and put on the spring handles but it is now useable. I am very proud of how it came together! Thanks to everyone here who helped me! Yesterday I did a test run/break in. Today I cook! It easily held temps from 200-375 so I am happy!
