This weekend I extended the roof of the Pizza wood fired oven to include a right angle over the Smoker/BBG. Have to finish the ridge caps and then install some kind of chimney over the smoker.

Well on the way for the smoker that is now also a Santa Maria BBQ. When smoking the two large lids are closed. When used as a BBQ the meat rack can be raised and lowered with the Santa Maria mechanism. Need to modify where the chain attaches too, It connects to the center and this can cause the...

Change of plans, Flat floor and primarily a bar b que with a smoker box on the side. Good job I didn't cement the cinder block yet ;)

That's a great point, thanks I will

Gotta try a chuck roast, brisket is not always available around here either.

After more research, when the pit is being used as a BBQ the coals/wood will be on a raised rack. This rack will also support a plate when turned into a smoker for a reverse flow smoker. Now having curved brick bottom will make more sense as it will move overburden to the middle where an inlaid...

Very good point on the curved floor. Most BBQ s and cylinder style smokers have drains at the bottom which would not work with the brick.

I'm just starting a project to tie in a smoker BBQ to the pizza oven. I want it to be an offset smoker but also a Bar-B-Que pit. The main structure using concrete blocks with the cooking chamber lined with refractory bricks. Have a few left over from the oven build. I was thinking of making the...

That was an awesome build. Want to do one alongside my wood fired pizza oven. Thanks for posting your build as you have done most of the groundwork.

I built this cover for my pizza oven, and will extend off to the left to cover the smoker/BBQ when it's built. Gotta love and outdoor kitchen in the rain ;)

Awesome build very inspired now

Now about building a smoker next to the oven for a perfect outdoor kitchen.........

Mosaic needs finishing. Close enough

Nearing the top you have to get a little inventive as the bricks are set almost verticale. The last KEY brick holds it all in place. Next the exterior is covered in mortar. Chimney set in place. (I later raised this for more draft. The chimney is made of 8" Chimney liners. Once this is...

Chimney hole done. Working into the night ;) Any excess made mortar is spread on the exterior. Bricks cut for the next row, sitting in a water bath.

Notice the tool used to hold the bricks in place while the set. By the time the next brick is buttered the tool can be moved around. shape of each brick will be the same for it's row but different for each progressive row.

Using mortar made for high heat, the cooking floor the first row of Solders (Vertical) firebricks are mortared in place. The transition to the entrance is angle cut bricks. You need a good tile saw for this job. I wore out 2 blades before it was all done. Good time to sand the cooking...

Now starts the fun part, designing the dome. Basically it's an igloo shape that is not a pure dome, it's flattened on the top to reflect the fire/heat down to the cooking surface. 4" insulation is cut out for the base. the inside diameter of this oven is 42" which is quite large. Measuring...

Continuing on, the door opening is for wood storage. A right angle steel supports the top. Then fill the holes with rocks and concrete. The top is created by putting in a 3/4" plywood piece supported by 1" pipe in the center. The plywood sits about 3' - 4" down below the lip and a frame...

OK Then although I realize this is not smoking. First is to build the platform. A stable concrete base to build the structure. Can't keep the dogs off wet concrete. Concrete blocks as a base, 4 high to get the right level for the oven.
