Despite the somewhat negative feedback regarding this smoker build, I decided to continue on with it. This weekend there was great progress made. We were able to cut the first door out. After seeing how huge of a hole there is when the door is opened, we decided it would be best to cut the door...
I didn't make too much progress this weekend. I did get all the tubing and steel rod to build the door frames and make the meat rack rigging.
I plan to wash the inside with muriatic acid before going too much further.
Dave,
I have a question you may or may not know the answer to. If the meat I cook never touches the metal rack, do I need stainless steel racks?
Everything I smoke is always in an aluminum pan until I take it off the smoker.
I agree with getting it approved, but I keep seeing guys talk about...
I made some more progress this weekend. It doesn't look like much, but there was A LOT of welding involved.
I put angle iron on the floor to seal the gap between the floor and wall. Also, I was able to finish putting metal on the sides. Maybe next weekend I can start cutting the doors..

I need some suggestions on insulation for this smoker.
Once I get the sides sealed and cut the doors in it, I am going to put .75" or 1" square tubing on the outside of the doors for reinforcement. Then I am going to rivet stainless steel to the outside of the square tubing. This will give me...
The plan is to use this for commercial use. I have a catering business and I am trying to get vending spots at festivals in this state. So I need this thing to be certified I reckon.
I never thought anymore about getting it certified for human consumption. I will have to research what is necessary for a smoker. All the bbq restaurants I see seem to have normal looking smokers. I will look into it. Thanks for the heads up Dave.
Shrek, I'm with you. I just figured a pressure...
I was able to move the trailer inside this weekend and get more accomplished. I got both sides mostly sealed with new metal and a tore out the wood floor and put in a new metal floor.
