    first electric smoker build

    I have a big stainless box (3'x2'x6') that I want to turn into an electric smoker. I'm thinking about insulating it, and basically getting an oven and putting it's heating elements in the box. Please give advice on how this will work, or other better options. Still not sure about how to make...

    First Big Smoker Build. Advice welcomed!

    I would think that could work, but I don't see an advantage of doing that. I think one reason this smoker is so efficient and holds such a constant temp is because the flow enters high and exits low. Heat naturally rises, so if it is forced to exit low, that means the entire cook chamber is...

    It's not fancy, but it works really good.

    Converting Grill to Hybrid

    There is about a foot or 18" beneath the cooking grates to the bottom and the metal of the storage box is 1/8" or thinner. I've never done a reverse flow. I have made a couple smokers though, and the best one I ever made in terms of efficiency and constant temp is one where the smoke and heat...

    I should probably also add that I am using this for a bbq catering business to expand my capacity. I already have one smoker, just trying to expand.

    Converting Grill to Hybrid

    Hey y'all, I bought this charcoal grill last weekend and I have thoughts of converting it to a smoker/gas grill/charcoal grill. It has on one side 3 burners for deep fryers. I'd like to plumb the grill so I can gas grill with it. It is already set up for charcoal, so all that would stay the...

    The box I built on the back of my trailer was originally intended for putting my wood in. Turns out I use it for all my supplies and still haul the wood in the back of the truck. I carry my splitting maul, axe, wood tongs, grill grate, kinlin and sticks, lighter fluid, sanitizing wipes, and all...

    Another thing that I wish I would've done that you may want to consider is building a flat surface across the top of the smoker tank on the outside the entire length of the smoker. If you are wanting to cook for large crowds, sometimes food gets done too early and you need to keep it warm until...

    I like the two cooking grates in your design. The higher one will have a hotter temperature (since in this design the heat comes across high) which will allow you to put quicker cooks up there while leaving the slow cooks low. Brisket and Ribs should do well on the higher rack.  I wish a...

    Also, I would advise against putting another air inlet beneath the door. Your design looks almost identical to mine and the one damper on the side is more than plenty. To cook at 200*F in the CC, I have to leave the damper almost completely closed. You could put another air inlet beneath the...
