    Oh and by the way... For anyone that doubted this design I would like to inform you how this performed for the first time in an unfinished state. As far as draft goes (for those of you that thought that the exhaust being low and the smoke inlet being high would cause draft issues): The draft...

    Yes there will be many pictures to follow. I still haven't gotten it finished. I have to add thermometers, door latches, paint and other various odds and ins. But I plan to add more pictures tomorrow.  One thing that I think will put this smoker over the top (in my opinion)  is when I put the...

    18" smoker build with 5/8" firebox?

    You can use high heat engine paint which is sold at nearly every auto parts store. ~$5 a can and up to 500-800 degrees F. As far as the price goes I do not know... I know that I see a lot of trailer smokers on craigslist for ~$1000 so $650 to me is a little high for this one. I would feel more...

    building a double barrel smoker.....painting problems

    Make sure to remove any paint that is on the barrels before you paint. If you don't it won't matter what the temperature rating is on the paint you use. The paint underneath will burn off thus burning off your expensive high heat paint.

    stainless steel frig into a smoker???

    looks nice! There are several builds on here where people convert commercial warmers to smokers. I would say the concept would be the same for a refrigerator. Check out the calculators on here too if you haven't already. It will help you dial in the exact size of dampers and exhaust plus firebox...

    Door Latch ?????????'s

    Thank you for the lead... but the casement window latches are not as big as what I am wanting. They are 1-2" long and the one in the picture is ~ 4" long. Any other ideas?

    Door Latch ?????????'s

    Does anyone know what this kind of latch is called? I can't even think of a reasonable name for it. The best I have thought of is "progressively tightning latch", "spoon latch", and various other names that resulted in not finding this type of latch. I want to buy them so they will all be...

    Door Latch ?????????'s

    I am currently building a smoker on a trailer and I am looking for some latches for the doors. I have three doors and I am looking for the kind of latches that tighten more the more I turn it. I have had no luck finding these online.Maybe one of you can help, or suggest a different kind of latch...

    I still do not have much to say as far as an update goes. Sorry! This thread has not died, I just have been side tracked the last couple weekends. I will be sure to update as soon as I do something!

    Sorry to say I do not have much to update ya'll on this weekend. All I can say is that I got a really nice exhaust pipe. It is 6" ID 8" OD Stainless Steel Fully Insulated and 48" long. Should look nice after I polish it up.

    I was just thinking about if someone accidently rubbed against it. If it were insulated it wouldn't burn... plus stainless exhaust pipe would look good.

    I have considered an insulated pipe as well. They are pricey but it will cost me approximately the same amount to get a plain 6" steel pipe as it will to buy a stainless insulated pipe. Plain 6" dia X 48" long cost ~$50 to buy and another $50 to ship... a stainless insulated is ~$120 shipping...

    What do ya'll think about a double-walled stove pipe? Would there be an advantage to this compared to a single-walled pipe? I am thinking that a double-walled pipe would stay cooler to the touch.

    mmmmmm Sounds great! I will definitely have to try it. Do you think a pig would fit in my smoker? With the section between the doors?
