    question regarding a double barrel wood smoker

    I'll be building a Hillbilly style file cabinet smoker next week. Any thoughts re; how to proceed? It's hard to imagine that anyone would build one of these! .

    question regarding a double barrel wood smoker

    Update: I've now done two initial burn ins, and believe that she is just about ready for a test run. As suspected, a build up of ashes (under the metal grate and on top of the fire bricks) has made it easier to control and keep the wood burning. I'm going to pick up some inexpensive carne asada...

    question regarding a double barrel wood smoker

    Update: I had planned to do an initial burn-in yesterday, but it turns out that the new upper barrel is smaller at one end. My nice and square upper rack frame would not fit. I will be re-working that today. Meanwhile, here is what it will look like after I can finally assemble everything...

    question regarding a double barrel wood smoker

    This is what she looks like as of yesterday. I ended up going with pneumatic tires on the one end of my platform, and just blocks at the other end. (hard caster wheels will not roll as smoothly as these will) I will probably make some type of handles for the blocked end. Basically, it would...

    question regarding a double barrel wood smoker

    Dave, I know that tool as a "peavy" in our area. Possible a "picaroon" in other areas. I did not follow what your first post was suggesting. But no.... the project is moving forward and the peavy stays! :emoji_wink: It's rather cool! I will probably remove part of the point on it as to be...

    question regarding a double barrel wood smoker

    pigbark, thank you. I'll print that and will keep it as a reference. Understood. However, is this a concern when cooking, and not as great when simply smoking? In other words, if I smoke only, will I need to be as concerned with grease?

    question regarding a double barrel wood smoker

    Update: I ended up installing the outlets at the top of the upper barrel after having read what dirtsailor had to say. Thank you dirtsailor for that suggestion and explanation! Radioguy, I plan to use this for a smoker, not necessarily a cooker or a BBQ. And by the way, my stacks are 6" and...

    question regarding a double barrel wood smoker

    Any suggestions on smoking temperature and duration for the different meats?

    question regarding a double barrel wood smoker

    Thank you. As per my thread title, I will be using this as a smoker, not necessarily as a cooker! However, I do like your idea of a "metal plate with a few holes in it over the fully open damper / flue to act as a deflector." I had planned to do that! In fact, the original unit had such a plate...

    question regarding a double barrel wood smoker

    A friend of mine was going to throw this old double barrel smoker away, so I grabbed it and I'm now in the process of restoring it. If it hadn't been for the cool old hardware, I would have helped him throw it away. The barrels were pretty much rusted out, so I picked up two new food grade...
