    Can't build up heat

    Try this and then the exhaust damper next. Hopefully this will eliminate your heating issue. Other wise it could be something more serious. If you put a damper on the exhaust make sure to play around with it before determining it didn't fix the problem. Fire it up with intake damper wide open...

    Can't build up heat

    I made a smoker with a damper on the exhaust and I have learned that with the damper closed it actually cools down. It is all about airflow. I thought that if I shut the damper then more heat would build before exiting, but the opposite is true. Maybe you should open the exhaust damper all the...

    The chicken turned out pretty good, but I am pretty critical of my own cooking so I didn't think it was as good as it could have been.  The butt was over cooked. Normally I cook butts in a covered pan for ~10 hrs covered. After 10 hrs I uncover the pan for 30 mins to an hour and let it "smoke"...

    Thinking of building a smoker advice welcome

    Why do you have to gut the inside of the fridge? Is it lined with plastic?  Sounds like you are going to put a lot of work into this... I would suggest finding a commercial food warmer. This way it is already made the way that you are wanting to convert the fridge to. But it would save you all...

    Can't build up heat

    Where is your exhaust in relation to the opening from the fire chamber? Maybe the heat is coming in and going straight out the other side without having time to build up heat. And does the fire chamber have a intake damper? If not your fire will be too small to make sufficient heat.

    I don't consider her to be finished yet, but she is finished enough to cook on. I am cooking a chicken and a butt on it now. The butt will cook all night, but the chicken will come off in a few minutes! I can't wait to take her to competitions this summer! I don't even care if I win I just think...

    I think any container is big enough to be a smoker as long as meat will fit in it...

    Here she is with the smoke rolling! Cook chamber was about 400*F and the fire chamber was about 500*F. ~3-4 log fire... Here she is before I finished it like in the above picture.. but it is a closer view.

    First Big Smoker Build. Advice welcomed!

    I know some of you were wanting a tour of the inside of the smoker... So here it is. The smoke comes up to the top of the tank and fills the tank from the top down. The exhaust is under the racks so it forces the smoke and heat to fill the entire tank before it escapes. If you have any questions...
