So 3/4 will be big enough? I'm going to go 1 cap at the back and two pipe/ball valves on either side. For the door I was planning to use that silver heat seal stuff that you are on the glass of a gas fireplace.
Hey guys! Finally looking into buying some parts. What size pipe and ball valves should I use? I'm assuming I should use black iron pipe for the intake stacks?
Finally was able to get some work done yesterday! Got the exterior sanded and the charcoal basket built and welded up! First time ever using an arc welder, but I got it done :)

Hey guys, pretty new to the forum and to smoking. Just happened across a full size oil drum in my travels and am wondering what to build. I'm think upright would be easier but offset gives me more options. Just wanted some opinions and what the best route would be and how to go about starting my...
Hi all, new to the forum and to smoking. Just recently acquired an egg type smoker. It's not very efficient and you can't really get enough coals in it to do much. Very similar to the one in the pic. In the near future I'm going to build a smoker. Not sure about offset or a smokehouse or what...
