    As Promised...

    Jabbo I sent you a PM. I work for a web development company in Canada and would be more than happy to discuss what you need and things to consider in choosing a provider/developer.

    250L build - now a 35? gallon build

    I feel that cutting the chimney off at an angle and getting some rope casket for the CC door should do it. I can even get some of the rope gasket locally which is nice.

    250L build - now a 35? gallon build

    I think adding the heat shield inside the firebox might help the heat flow under the RF plate. If you look at the opening There is a lip there coming down from the top. If I tack a heat shield even with the top of the half moon opening, that should alleviate the hot spot in the CC and help...

    250L build - now a 35? gallon build

    No offense taken, I'm here to learn. I had seen somewhere saying the stack should be 1" above bottom rack, and if I cut it off at an angle I saw that as being not a lot different than raising the stack to the highest part of the angle. I can see it now as widening that level of the thermal...

    Dave, Thanks I'll try cutting the stack off as you say. I do understand what the two intakes are for. Bottom for fire temp, top for cc temp more or less.

    Dave, If I close the intakes to a 1/4 open the temp drops big time.  The FB is substantially hot.  I have not sealed the air leaks yet, I need to find a proper gasket, might need to order one. The stack is 1" above the top of my cook rack. It is not angled off. ------- It was quite windy...

    250L build - now a 35? gallon build

    Not sure what I'm doing wrong or if I need to make adjustments. I seasoned it and have some ribs on for supper. Holding ~240 which is great, but my intakes are all wide open and it is crushing fuel. Granted it's a bit windy and my WSM would have no chance without a wind break... Will it be more...

    Burned for about 3 hours in a chimney full of charcoal with some wood chunks. Got as high as 300 in the cook chamber. Very different than my WSM going to take some learning. Very reactive to changes to intake vents. Might need to add fuel every couple of hours, which is something I'll miss...

    250L build - now a 35? gallon build

    Brought it home and fired it up for a test burn/burn out. Definitely need a gasket around the cc door, smoke is leaking out around it. Still lots coming out of the chimney tho. We'll see how it is at temp when it's drawing well. (Don't mind the GUR behind it...)

    250L build - now a 35? gallon build

    What kind of treatment should I give the cook rack. It's rusty right now and I was going to sandblast it clean. Is oiling/seasoning it sufficient?  I am planning to give everything one more burning out tomorrow, as I've added the RF plate and some other things since burning the junk out of the...

    Cool, I could use a bigger pot to cook the must for my mead making as well, have to do it in 2-3 batches for a 5-6 gallon carboy.

    ONION BOMBS

    My sister brought these out camping and they were great! Wrapped in bacon and smoked would be a terrific twist.

    Test Run On Smoker

    With my 18.5" WSM it rocks pretty steady ~240 with 1-2L of water in the bowl and minion method. Never ran it with no meat tho. I'll get around 6-7 hours out of the initial load too, which means I set it before bed and get to sleep some. heh This is wide open until up to temp, then trimmed back...
