    Original First Smoker Build "Fat Boy"... take 2

    Quick Q-view! First real smoke since it's been done and kind of a last minute thing but doing a couple pork shoulders. Temps have been steady but running a little on the hot side which I'm fine with for some butts. Gotta love that TBS tho!

    Original First Smoker Build "Fat Boy"... take 2

    A rainy day on a Friday during deer season means I finally had time to high temp paint my smoker. 5 cans of spray paint (it was free and what I had) and 2 coats later this is the result... It's pretty much done now but I'm going to fill in and add some steel underneath the front tomorrow to...

    Original First Smoker Build "Fat Boy"... take 2

    Well the shop guys were hounding me and I've been dying to smoke something, even tho it's not painted yet, so I spent last night making around a 100 meatballs (about tennis ball size) since they don't take forever to smoke... and hey, who doesn't like smoked meatballs right?! I had some leftover...

    Original First Smoker Build "Fat Boy"... take 2

    IT'S ALIVE!!  Put some oak dunnage in there just to put some heat/smoke thru it and see how it would do. I was busy with work so I wasn't able to check on it as often as I wanted but I was mainly checking temps and seals. Hard to see it but there is some smoke coming out but this is after...

    Original First Smoker Build "Fat Boy"... take 2

    Getting closer and closer... Vents added, racks made, fenders done... now just down to running the wiring for the lights (already got hollow pickets ran as conduit), installing temp gauges, and doing the front shelf which is basically from the fender to the smoker and towards the front a bit...

    It's that time of year again...Win a prize a day from A-MAZE-N Products through 11/22!

    Just smoked 3 turkeys by request... but my favorite Thanksgiving meal ideas usually involve the leftovers and seeing what I can make from those. Smoked Turkey Quesadilla's anybody?

    Original First Smoker Build "Fat Boy"... take 2

    Ended up shortening the trailer a bit (was looking too much like a boat trailer) and changing a couple of things. I'm skipping a few steps but I didn't get pictures of the whole process along the way. All that's left now is racks, framing out vents, cutting upper vent in FB door, front shelf...

    Showing a little more progress today. Trailer is a little longer than I planned but we should figure out axle placement and smoker height tomorrow. Once we get to that point it'll just get down to the nitty gritty of things... doors, sliding racks, shelf, etc...Got the coupler and lights today...

    Original First Smoker Build "Fat Boy"... take 2

    So I started the post below pretty much 2 years ago (wow, time goes by fast with family and work) and somewhere around Summer 2013, after SLOWLY working on it about once a month for a few hours, got busy and put the build on hold with just the CC put together minus ends and most of the plate for...

    propane burner in a reverse flow

    I'm with Sqwib, I'd go with round... square I think would "catch" more of the food if you were moving it across the grates too.
