    Biggest smoker build... = success?

    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...

    Biggest smoker build... = success?

    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 sat...

    got some questions for my build

    In the smoker I previously built that I am currently using, I put a thermometer in the fire chamber because I use it as an open flame grill for burgers, steaks, and such. Anyhow, when I have a rolling fire going, the temp will get up to 800°F at max. Most of the time it's between 450°F-600°F...

    Biggest smoker build... = success?

    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.

    Biggest smoker build... = success?

    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.
